Which base position is used for achieving the most volume?

  1. Off base

  2. Half off base

  3. On base

  4. Under base

The correct answer is: On base

On base position is used for achieving the most volume because it provides the most support and structure for the hair to hold the desired shape. Off base and half off base positions do not provide as much support and can result in a looser, less voluminous style. Under base is not a valid term for a hair styling technique, making it the incorrect option.
