Which roller position is recommended for achieving full volume in a hairstyle?

The recommended roller position for achieving full volume in a hairstyle is on base. When rollers are placed on base, they are positioned directly at the scalp. This placement allows the base of the hair to be lifted straight up from the scalp, resulting in maximum height and volume. The hair wraps around the roller and is forced to stay in a lifted position as it sets, which leads to an exaggerated volume effect once the roller is removed.

On base placement is crucial for styles that require a lot of body and bounce, as it allows for a more significant curl and sets the stage for a full-bodied look. This technique is particularly effective when working with fine or straight hair that benefits from added volume.

Other roller placements, such as off base or half off base, may provide some added curl or wave but do not achieve the same level of lift and volume as the on base position. Each roller technique has its application depending on the desired outcome, but for full volume, on base is the optimal choice.
