An on-base tool position will result in the strongest base strength and which outcome?

• A. Maximum Volume
• B. Minimum Volume
• C. Moderate Volume
• D. No Volume

Answer: (A)

When you place the tool directly on the base of the curl, the hair is held most firmly over the tool’s base. This creates the strongest base strength because the hair is anchored and supported throughout the shaping process. With a stronger base, the curl lifts the hair away from the scalp more effectively, which translates into greater volume once the tool is released and the hair sets. So, the on-base position gives the strongest base and the most volume. If you move away from the base, the base strength and resulting volume decrease accordingly.
