Uniform curls are produced by which rod configuration?

Explanation:
Uniform curls come from using a rod with a constant diameter along its entire length. When hair is wrapped around a straight perm rod, every segment of the strand winds around the same circumference, so the curl created by the chemical setting remains uniform from root to tip. Rods with varying diameters—like concave or convex shapes—change the wrapping circumference along the length, leading to tighter in some places and looser in others, which produces an uneven curl pattern. The straight rod also determines curl size, since using a smaller diameter yields tighter curls and a larger diameter yields looser curls, but the key for uniformity is the consistent circumference provided by the straight rod.
