To achieve more volume at the base while curling, which technique should be used?

• A. Base-to-ends
• B. End Technique
• C. Spiral
• D. Marcel

Answer: (A)

To get more volume at the scalp, wrap from the base toward the ends. Starting at the base places the curl in contact with the root area, creating lift and a fuller look at the roots once it’s set. This direction builds more base volume because the curl blooms outward from the scalp, giving that lift right at the root. Other methods change where the volume appears: winding from ends to base tends to tighten the ends and reduce base lift, spiral wraps distribute curl along the length for volume away from the roots, and Marcel waves create a patterned wave with less emphasis on root fullness.
