Which iron technique creates curved-under or flipped-up effects?

• A. Marcel
• B. Spiral
• C. Base-to-ends
• D. End Technique

Answer: (D)

The end technique targets just the ends of the hair to shape them into a curve. By positioning the iron near the ends and guiding the ends around the barrel with a slight twist, you can curl them inward (curved-under) toward the scalp or outward (flipped-up) away from the face. This end-focused movement creates that distinct finish at the ends while the rest of the strand may have a different texture or be less curled. Other techniques purposefully affect a larger portion of the strand: Marcel creates defined waves with ridges, focusing on the overall pattern along the length; Spiral produces a continuous spiral curl along the hair; Base-to-ends wraps the hair from base to ends to form uniform curls along most of the length. The end technique is the one that specifically delivers the curved-under or flipped-end effect.
