**The answer is straight rods. Hair winds along the full, even length of the rod for that classic spiral pattern.**

Circle, loop, and concave rods each shape curl differently and aren't built for the spiral technique — a straight rod's uniform diameter is what lets each wrap of hair land at a consistent angle down the rod, which is what produces the spiral effect once the perm processes.
