Which base control positions the tool completely off the bottom parting?

The scenario described involves a base control technique used in hairstyling, particularly when setting hair with rollers or other tools. When the tool is positioned completely off the bottom parting, this is known as being "on base." In this base control, the roller or tool is placed directly on the base section but elevated above the parting. This positioning allows for maximum volume and lift at the root, as the hair is wrapped around the roller while the roller sits at the top of the subsection.

In contrast, other base controls do not place the tool completely off the bottom parting. For example, "half off base" refers to a positioning that allows part of the roller to sit on the base while the other part hangs over, providing a balance of volume and control but less lift than being fully on base. "Off base" indicates that the tool is not directly on the base at all, resulting in less volume and lift. "No base" typically suggests a situation where no base control is applied, thus providing a very different styling effect that doesn’t emphasize the roots or volume in the same manner.

Understanding these distinctions is crucial for hairstylists as they manipulate volume and style in their work, and being on base is the technique that
