Describe the spiral technique.

• A. Revolutions of hair are positioned next to one another to create an elongated texture pattern. Texture pattern is consistent along length of the hair and reflects shape and diameter of rods. Best suited for medium to long hair. Can be wrapped in one of two ways: ends-to-base, base-to-ends
• B. Hair is rotated or revolved around the rod from the ends of the strand up to the base. Hair overlaps itself with each revolution.
• C. Hair is wrapped ends-to-base with no overlaps.
• D. Hair is wrapped base-to-ends with overlapping twice.

Answer: (A)

The spiral technique creates a long, soft wave by wrapping hair in a spiral around the rod, so the revolutions sit next to one another and run the length of the strand. This spacing and angle produce an elongated texture pattern that mirrors the rod’s shape and diameter, giving a uniform, flowing look along the entire length of the hair. It works best on medium to long hair because you need enough length to form those extended spirals and maintain the pattern evenly. You can wrap either ends-to-base or base-to-ends, which changes how the spiral sits relative to the hair ends, giving two ways to control the orientation of the curl without changing the fundamental spiral wrap. Other options describe wraps where the hair overlaps with each revolution or where there’s no overlap, or they emphasize different end-to-base orientations in ways that don’t yield the distinctive elongated spiral pattern. That’s why they don’t fit as the described spiral technique.
