Curl reformation is a chemical service that changes tightly curled hair to loose / wavy hair. What is this service commonly called?

• A. Elastic Perm
• B. Soft Curl Perm
• C. Spiral Perm
• D. Relaxer

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is recognizing the chemical service that transforms very tight curls into looser waves. This is called a soft curl perm. It uses a reducing agent to break the hair’s disulfide bonds and then reshapes the hair so the bonds reform in a looser pattern, followed by a neutralizer to lock in the new wave. The result is natural-looking, softer waves rather than tight coils or straight hair. The other terms describe different outcomes: a relaxer straightens hair, a spiral perm creates tight spiral curls, and an elastic perm refers to a different perm method that doesn’t match loosening curls into soft waves.
