The wrap that uses an endpaper folded in half over the hair ends like an envelope is known as which wrap?

• A. Bookend wrap
• B. Spiral wrap
• C. Cotton wrap
• D. Endpaper wrap

Answer: (A)

In this wrap, the endpapers are used to bracket and secure the ends by folding them over like an envelope, creating two neat anchors at each end—this is the bookend wrap. The end papers grip the hair ends firmly and keep them flat and protected as the rod is wrapped, which helps produce even curl and minimizes ends poking out or frizz during processing. This approach distinguishes it from a spiral wrap, which winds the hair along the rod in a spiral without focusing on end-paper “envelopes,” and from wraps that emphasize cotton padding or simply using end papers without the bookend anchoring. The envelope-like fold of the endpaper around the ends is the hallmark of the bookend technique.
