What is another term for thermal waving and curling?

1. Hot rolling

2. Marcel waving

3. Blow-out styling

4. Diffuser curling

The correct answer is: Marcel waving

Marcel waving is a popular technique for adding curls and waves to hair using a heated curling iron. This technique is sometimes referred to as thermal waving or thermal curling because the heat from the curling iron sets the curls into place. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not specifically refer to the use of heat for curling hair. Hot rolling typically refers to a process used in metalworking, blow-out styling is a hair styling technique using a hair dryer and brush, and a diffuser is an attachment used with a hair dryer to enhance natural curls. Option B, Marcel waving, is the most accurate and specific term for thermal waving and curling.
