What is the specified number of turns to unwind the rod when testing a curl?

• A. 1 1/2 - 2 turns
• B. 3 - 4 turns
• C. 0 turns
• D. 5 - 6 turns

Answer: (A)

In curl testing, you unwind the rod a specific amount to see how the curl has formed. Unwinding about one and a half to two turns reveals the curl without fully releasing the hair, giving a clear picture of the curl pattern and processing level. If you unwind 0 turns, you can’t assess the curl, and if you unwind three or more turns, the curl can loosen too much and misrepresent the result. So, one and a half to two turns is the standard amount to accurately evaluate the curl.
