Describe the overlap (croquignole) technique.

• A. Hair is rotated or revolved around the rod from the ends of the strand up to the base. Hair overlaps itself with each revolution. Strand should overlap around the perm rod at least twice for a complete curl pattern. Produces curls and undulating waves. Used to achieve base lift and strong curl.
• B. Hair is wrapped ends-to-base with no overlaps.
• C. Hair is wrapped base-to-ends with overlapping twice.
• D. Hair is wrapped with a single layer around the rod.

Answer: (A)

Overlap croquignole wraps the hair from the ends toward the base, winding around the rod with each pass so that the strands overlap the previous turn. You should overlap around the rod at least twice to build a complete curl pattern. This approach gives you curls that form and also undulating waves, with the base lifted because the hair sits layered around the rod as you go from the ends inward. It's the go-to method when you want stronger curl and noticeable base lift. Wrapping from base to ends, wrapping with no overlaps, or using a single layer around the rod would not create the same depth of curl or lift, so they produce different results.
