Pivot Point Hair Design 107 Practice Test

The main idea here is stem length in pincurls. An on-base curvature pincurl sits directly on the base, and when the curl begins right at the base with no extra hair forming a separate stem, it’s referred to as a no-stem pincurl. This configuration gives a very tight, pronounced curl because there’s no straight segment (stem) between the base and the curved part of the wrap.

Long stem and short stem describe pincurls where a portion of hair extends from the base before the curl forms, so they aren’t the same as a no-stem setup. Curved stem isn’t the standard term used for this placement.
