How can you achieve the most volume with rollers during a hairstyle?

To achieve the most volume with rollers during a hairstyle, placing them on base is the most effective method. When rollers are positioned on base, they are set directly at the scalp, which allows for maximum lift and fullness as the hair dries or cools around the roller. This positioning elevates the roots of the hair, creating a significant volume boost that enhances the overall shape and bounce of the hairstyle.

Using rollers on base helps to establish that desirable rounded shape that is often sought in volumized hairstyles. The heat from the roller or the setting process encourages the hair to stay in this lifted position once the roller is removed, providing long-lasting volume.

In contrast, techniques such as placing rollers half base or off base would not provide the same level of lift. Half base may give moderate volume at the roots, but the height achieved is less than that achieved with on-base placement. Off-base placement results in minimal lift and is primarily used for a more relaxed and less voluminous look. Each rolling technique has its specific purpose, but for achieving maximum volume, on-base arrangement is the preferred choice.
