Base texturizing is performed up to which distance from the scalp?

• A. Half inch (1.25 cm) from the scalp
• B. 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the scalp
• C. 1.5 inch (3.75 cm) from the scalp
• D. 2 inch (5.0 cm) from the scalp

Answer: (B)

Base texturizing targets the hair right at the roots to reduce bulk and help the shape sit smoothly. Doing this up to about one inch from the scalp keeps the base light and allows the roots to lift naturally without creating a heavy, blunt line. If you work closer than one inch, you can over-texturize the very base, making it look and feel uneven and potentially affecting growth pattern. If you go farther away than one inch, the technique won’t effectively manage base weight, and the haircut may not sit as cleanly at the roots. So, the best distance is about one inch from the scalp.
