What type of wave pattern does a spiral perm create?

A spiral perm is specifically designed to create a uniform spiral curl, which is characterized by its distinct, helical shape that wraps around the hair shaft in a spiral manner. This technique involves wrapping the hair around a long rod in a vertical or diagonal position, which allows the hair to form a consistent, even curl pattern throughout.

This uniformity is key to the spiral perm, as it produces a result that looks bouncy and well-defined, giving the hair a vibrant and dynamic texture. The resulting curls can vary based on the size of the rods used, but the primary goal of a spiral perm is to achieve those defined spirals rather than loose waves or more casual, beachy styles. Other options typically refer to different types of curls or textures, which do not represent the specific and uniform nature of a spiral curl pattern achieved through this perming technique.
