In the rectangle pattern the center rectangle usually is positioned __________ __________ to __________.

In the rectangle pattern the center rectangle usually is positioned __________ __________ to __________.

• A. Front hairline, nape
• B. Back crown, temple
• C. Crown, neck
• D. Temple, forehead

Answer: (A)

In the rectangle pattern, the center rectangle acts as the central anchor for how the head is divided for perm styling. It is positioned between the front hairline and the nape. This vertical span gives the center rectangle the longest uninterrupted section of hair in the crown area, creating symmetry and making it the reference point for the rest of the sections. Having this central block between those landmarks ensures the curl pattern and processing are balanced from forehead to back and top to bottom. Placing it elsewhere would disrupt the crown’s geometry and unevenly distribute hair for texture and processing.
