What term refers to the way perm tools are arranged around the client's head while wrapping?

• A. Perm pattern
• B. Rod layout
• C. Wrap configuration
• D. Tool placement

Answer: (A)

Perm pattern is the term that captures how the wrap tools are arranged around the head during wrapping. It describes the overall layout of base sections and partings, and how the rods sit and align as you circle the head. This arrangement sets the curl direction, volume, and uniformity you’ll get in the finished perm because it determines where each rod begins and ends and how the wrap follows the head’s contour. The other phrases point to more specific aspects—where individual rods are placed, the method of wrapping around the head, or a general notion of tool placement—but they don’t convey the full organized plan of how all tools interact around the head.
