What type of curl is formed by placing pin curls immediately behind or below a ridge?

Spiral Curls
Ridge Curls
Wind Curls
Flat Curls

The correct answer is: Ridge Curls

The type of curl formed by placing pin curls immediately behind or below a ridge is known as a ridge curl. Ridge curls are specifically designed to create a wave pattern by using the pin curls' placement around a ridge, which is a raised part of the hair. This technique helps to accentuate the ridges in the hair, contributing to a more defined wave or curl structure. The placement of the pin curls creates a uniform appearance along the ridge, allowing for a seamless look when styled. Understanding how to manipulate the hair's texture and shape through these kinds of curls is essential for stylists who aim to achieve various wave patterns in their work.
