Adding texture only at the base is called ________.

Adding texture only at the base is called ________.

• A. Base perming
• B. Root texturing
• C. Partial perming
• D. Interior perming

Answer: (A)

Base perming focuses texture where the hair meets the scalp. By applying perm solution and wrapping around the base portion of each section, texture is created right at the roots while the rest of the hair remains less textured or straighter. This adds lift and volume at the scalp without heavily curling the mid-lengths and ends. It’s different from root texturing, which centers on the very root area and may use different techniques; partial perming involves only certain sections, and interior perming adds texture to the inner layers while leaving the outer surfaces smoother.
