What is the area between the straight and curved partings within the shape, or the section of hair where the roller, thermal iron, or round brush is placed called?

• A. Base
• B. Stem
• C. Circle
• D. Root

Answer: (A)

The base is the area where the hair is positioned on the tool and sits near the scalp between the straight and curved partings. It serves as the foundation of the curl, determining how much lift and shape you’ll get from the tool. The hair that extends from the base to the end of the tool is the stem, which contributes to the curl’s length and body but isn’t the placement area itself. The root is simply the portion of the strand closest to the scalp before the base, and the circle refers to the finished curl shape rather than where the tool sits. So the section of hair you place on the roller, iron, or round brush—the foundation near the scalp—is the base.
