What are end wraps used for?

  1. To hold hair in place

  2. To prevent fish-hooks

  3. For sanitization

  4. To style hair

The correct answer is: To prevent fish-hooks

End wraps are specifically utilized in the context of perming and relaxing hair treatments. Their primary function is to create a smooth transition as hair is rolled onto perm rods or other styling tools. This is essential in preventing the hair from developing "fish-hooks," which are unwanted bends or kinks at the ends of hair strands after a perm. By providing a protective and smooth surface for the ends of the hair, end wraps help ensure that the hair maintains a uniform curl and appearance. The other options, while related to hair care, do not accurately describe the purpose of end wraps. Holding hair in place is typically achieved through clips or hair ties, while sanitization involves disinfecting tools and equipment; it does not relate to the use of end wraps. Styling hair generally refers to technique or products used to achieve a particular look, which does not encompass the specific function of end wraps in the perming process.
