Which statement is true about on-base positions?

Which statement is true about on-base positions?

• A. least volume and least base strength
• B. strongest base strength and maximum volume
• C. smallest diameter and greatest movement
• D. no effect on curl

Answer: (B)

On-base positions wrap the hair on top of the base, directly at the scalp. This anchoring creates the most lift from the roots and the strongest hold at the base, so the resulting curl shows maximum volume and the curl strength is highest near the base. In other wrapping positions, the base isn’t anchored as firmly, which reduces both base strength and the amount of lift, leading to looser curls. So, the statement that on-base gives the strongest base strength and the maximum volume is the true one.
