What wrap pattern describes wrapping hair from the ends to the base around the rod in successive layers to create a curl?

• A. Spiral wrap
• B. Brick lay
• C. Croquignole wrap
• D. Flat wrap

Answer: (C)

In permanent waving, the way you wrap hair around the rod determines how the curl forms. Wrapping from the ends toward the base in successive overlapping turns builds the curl from the tips up, creating a classic, well-defined pattern. This technique is known as the croquignole wrap. It contrasts with a spiral wrap, which winds hair in a single continuous spiral around the rod without overlapping layers, a flat wrap where hair is laid flat and wrapped around the rod in a two-dimensional pattern, and brick lay, which is a foil-placement method rather than a wrap pattern.
