How does the position of the roller affect the resulting curl?

The position of the roller plays a significant role in determining the curl’s thickness. When a roller is placed at the base of the hair strands, it tends to create a tighter and more defined curl, resulting in a thicker appearance. Conversely, if the roller is placed farther away from the scalp, towards the ends of the hair, it can create a looser and flatter wave, thus affecting the overall thickness of the curl.

This principle is fundamental in hairstyling, as different roller placements can be used strategically to achieve various styles and effects. Understanding the relationship between roller position and curl thickness allows stylists to customize hairstyles to meet clients’ preferences.
