Which base-wrapping approach is used when the goal is to limit curl to certain sections?

• A. Off base
• B. On base
• C. On base with alkaline perm
• D. Partial perms

Answer: (A)

Off-base wrapping changes where the curl forms by positioning the rod below the base, which reduces curl intensity and lift. This lets you control and limit curl to the sections you wrap, giving a softer, more targeted result rather than full curl across every wrapped area. Wrapping on the base would produce stronger, more voluminous curl in that area, not a limited effect, and using an alkaline perm or applying the perm to only some sections can influence overall curl differently but not by the base position itself.
