Question

Which of the following tool positions is not used in curvature volume?

a) on base
b) off base
c) overdirected
d) underdirected

Answer 1

The tool position 'underdirected' is not used in creating hair curvature volume; instead, hair stylists use on base, off base, and overdirected positions to determine the level of volume and curl.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tool position that is not used in curvature volume is underdirected. In the context of hair styling, specifically when creating volume with hair rollers or curling tools, the positions that are used include:

• On base — This position places the roller directly on its base, giving the maximum volume as the hair is overdirected at 45 degrees beyond perpendicular to its section.
• Off base — This position places the roller completely off its base and achieves the least volume by directing the hair at 45 degrees below perpendicular to its section.
• Overdirected — This position involves extending the hair further than where it would naturally fall, which can be used to create extra volume, especially near the base of the hairstyle.

The term underdirected is not traditionally used when discussing tool positions in creating hair volume and curl.
