Which statement best describes the effect of perm rods on texture when the desired texture is expanded?

• A. Texture Expands
• B. Texture Shrinks
• C. Texture Stays the Same
• D. Texture Increases Moisture

Answer: (A)

When you want an expanded texture, the size and wrap you use around the perm rod determine how open the curl pattern will be. Larger rods hold the hair in a looser, more stretched position, so as the disulfide bonds reform during processing and then are neutralized, the final texture becomes looser and more expanded. The rod setup directly sets how much the pattern unfolds, not the moisture level or a static is-it-this-or-that texture. So the result is an expanded texture.
