  1. AFlat wrapping
  2. BPin curling
  3. CBeveling
  4. DThermal waving
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. Beveling

Beveling is a styling technique that uses a round brush and blow dryer to create a curved, turned-under, or turned-up effect at the ends of the hair, giving a soft, finished look. It's often used for adding movement and shape.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Flat wrapping is a setting technique for smooth, straight results, not curled ends.
  • B. Pin curling is a wet set technique, not a blow-drying technique, and creates more defined curls.
  • D. Thermal waving involves heat tools like curling irons to create waves or curls, which is different from a blow-dry bevel.
