In what direction is hair wrapped in the Spiral method?

  1. Perpendicular to the rod

  2. From ends to scalp

  3. Parallel to the rod

  4. Spiraled from top-bottom of rod

The correct answer is: Spiraled from top-bottom of rod

The direction in which hair is wrapped using the Spiral method is from top to bottom of the rod. This creates a spiral effect and gives the hair volume and texture. Option A is incorrect because perpendicular wrapping would result in a different texture and look. Option B, wrapping from ends to scalp, is known as the winding method and is not the same as the Spiral method. Option C, parallel wrapping, is commonly used in the Bricklay method, but not in the Spiral method. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
