In a test curl, what shaped pattern are you looking for?

  1. "S" pattern

  2. Zigzag pattern

  3. Straight line

  4. No pattern

The correct answer is: "S" pattern

You are looking for an "S" pattern. This is because curl patterns are typically described using letters from the alphabet, with "S" being used for a loose, wavy pattern. The other options are incorrect because a zigzag pattern and a straight line do not accurately describe a curl pattern. Additionally, a "no pattern" would simply mean straight hair or a lack of defined curls, which is not what you would be testing for in a curl pattern.
