What contributes to creating volume in hair design?

Creating volume in hair design primarily involves the use of a volume base. The volume base refers to the area of the hairstyle where the hair is lifted away from the scalp, creating a fuller, more voluminous effect. This can be achieved through several methods, such as backcombing, rollers, or using specific products designed to enhance lift at the roots. By focusing on the base, stylists can add dimension and body to the hair, which is essential for balanced and aesthetically pleasing hairstyles.

While the techniques employed by stylists and the types of styles they choose can also impact how volume is perceived in a hairstyle, the concept of a volume base is specifically foundational for the actual physical structure that gives the hair its fullness. Thus, understanding how to effectively create and manipulate this base is crucial for achieving desired volume in hair design.
