A re-formation curl is not known as a:

1. Permanent wave

2. Chemical blow out

3. Re-formation curl

4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Chemical blow out

A re-formation curl, also known as a permanent wave, is a hairstyle where the hair is curled using a chemical process. This process alters the structure of the hair to create a temporary or permanent curl. While the terms re-formation curl and permanent wave are often used interchangeably, they both refer to the same process. Therefore, option C, re-formation curl, is incorrect. Option A, permanent wave, and option D, none of the above, are both correct terms for this hairstyle and should not be considered incorrect. Option B, chemical blow out, is incorrect because this term actually refers to a different type of hair treatment that straightens the hair using chemicals, rather than creating curls. Therefore, it is the only option that is not synonymous with a re-formation curl or permanent wave.
