What is the position of a curl with 'no stem'?

A curl with 'no stem' is defined as being positioned completely over the base. This means that the roller or curl is placed directly on the scalp where the hair begins, creating a strong, voluminous curl with maximum lift from the roots. There are no hair strands extending between the scalp and the beginning of the curl, which allows for a full and round curl, as the hair wraps tightly around the base of the roller or curling iron.

The position of the curl over the base provides more control over the curl's shape and ensures it maintains that shape for a longer period. When the curl is positioned in this manner, it is often used for styles that require strong hold and volume right at the root. This technique contributes to creating dramatic curls or waves that can enhance the overall hairstyle.

Positioning the curl off the base or halfway off would result in a different look, typically yielding softer curls with less volume at the roots. Warped around the base is not a standard term used to describe curl positioning and does not accurately reflect nail styling techniques. Thus, the definitive position of a curl with no stem is entirely over the base to achieve the desired styling effect.
