What are the two types of wrapping methods?

• A. Overlap (croquignole) technique and Spiral technique
• B. End wrap and root wrap
• C. Double wrap and single wrap
• D. Flat wrap and twist wrap

Answer: (A)

In permanent waving, how the hair is wound around the rod shapes the curl pattern. The two main wrapping methods are croquignole (overlap) and spiral. Croquignole wraps start at the ends and move toward the scalp with each layer overlapping the previous one, producing a curl that’s typically tighter near the ends and smoother at the scalp. Spiral wrapping winds the hair along the length of the rod in a spiral, with little or no overlapping, yielding a longer, more uniform wave and often less root lift. These two methods define the primary ways curls are formed, which is why they are identified as the wrapping methods. End wrap and root wrap refer to protective materials, not the wrapping method; other terms like double/single wrap or flat/twist wrap aren’t the standard method categories.
