In 1926, the croquignole method of wrapping hair from ends to the scalp was created. What is another name for this wrapping method?

• A. Overlap method
• B. Croquignole method
• C. Spiral wrap
• D. End-to-root wrap

Answer: (A)

Wrapping hair from the ends toward the scalp is the croquignole wrap, and it’s also called the overlap method because each successive turn overlaps the one before it on the perm rod. This overlapping arrangement is what gives the croquignole technique its characteristic layered appearance and curl formation. It’s distinct from the spiral wrap, which winds hair in a continuous spiral without the same degree of overlapping, and from approaches that start at the roots or ends in a different direction. So the term that matches ends-to-scalp wrapping by emphasizing the overlapped turns is the overlap method.
