What are the three components of a pin curl?

Base, stem, and circle
Base, shaft, and tip
Stem, curl, and end
Circle, arc, and base

The correct answer is: Base, stem, and circle

A pin curl consists of three main components the base, the stem, and the circle. The base is the stationary portion of the curl that is secured to the head. The stem is the section of hair that runs between the base and the circle, and is responsible for creating the shape of the curl. Lastly, the circle is the rounded loop that forms the curl and gives it its final appearance. Option B is incorrect because the correct term for the middle section is the stem, not the shaft. Option C is incorrect because while the stem and circle are correct terms, the third component is the base rather than the end. Option D is incorrect because while the circle is a component of the pin curl, the other two terms, arc and base, are incorrect and do not represent the necessary components.
