Which wrap pattern is described as wrapping hair from the ends toward the base around the rod to create curl?

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

Answer: (B)

Wrapping from the ends toward the base around the rod is the crocodile? No—this is the croquignole technique. In this method you start at the hair tips and roll toward the scalp, layering over each previous turn. That tightens the hair more at the ends, while the root area remains relatively looser, producing curl that’s stronger toward the mid-lengths and ends and softer near the scalp. The overall effect is a curl pattern that emphasizes the ends.

If hair were wrapped in a spiral pattern, it would be wound diagonally along the rod to create longer, spiral-shaped curls with a different distribution along the shaft. A flat wrap winds the hair from scalp to ends in a straight, flat layer, giving a more uniform curl from root to tip. Brick lay refers to how base sections are arranged rather than the direction of wrapping.
