What base do you use to produce volume curls?

  1. Acidic

  2. Alkaline

  3. Neutral

  4. On base

The correct answer is: On base

Using an 'on base' technique to produce volume curls refers to how the hair is wrapped around the curling tool, not the specific base you use. An acidic or alkaline base could potentially cause damage to the hair, and a neutral base would not provide enough hold for volume curls, making options A, B, and C incorrect.
