What are the parts of a pin curl?

  1. Base, stem, leaf

  2. Circle, square, triangle

  3. Base, stem, circle

  4. Root, body, tip

The correct answer is: Base, stem, circle

A pin curl consists of three essential parts the base, stem, and circle. The base is the part of the curl that is securely attached to the scalp, the stem is the middle part of the curl that gives it its shape, and the circle is the rounded portion of the curl that completes its overall appearance. While options A and D contain some elements that are similar to the parts of a pin curl, they are not entirely accurate. Option B does not include any of the correct parts of a pin curl. Therefore, it is incorrect.
