A client with fine, limp hair desires a hairstyle with maximum volume and body that will last through the day. Which type of roller set technique would be most effective for achieving this result?
- AOn-base roller placement
- BBricklay pattern
- CHalf-base roller placement
- DOff-base roller placement
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. On-base roller placement
On-base roller placement, where the roller sits directly on its base, creates the maximum amount of volume and lift because the hair is lifted furthest from the scalp during styling.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Bricklay patterns are used to avoid partings but don't specifically dictate volume level.
- C. Half-base roller placement creates medium volume and lift, with the roller sitting half on and half off its base.
- D. Off-base roller placement creates the least volume and results in a softer curl, as the roller sits completely off its base.
On-Base Roller Placement
A roller setting technique where the roller is placed directly on its base, creating maximum volume and lift at the scalp.
- Roller on base
- Maximum volume/lift
- Hair lifted highest from scalp
- Used for full styles
Memory trick: On-base is 'On Top' for maximum volume.
