What type of placement in hair styling will produce the greatest degree of volume?

On-base placement is the technique used in hair styling that provides the most lift and volume at the root area of the hair. This is achieved by positioning the roller or thermal tool directly on top of the subsection of hair, creating the maximum amount of base and allowing for the hair to stand up more straight and away from the scalp. The result is a strong foundation of volume because the hair strands are held at an angle that encourages greater height.

When hair is styled with the on-base method, the angle of attachment gives additional support and fullness, making it an effective choice for clients seeking bold volume in their hairstyles. Implementing this technique typically requires more skill, as it must be carefully executed to avoid tension and mishaps while promoting healthy hair practices.
