Base perming is performed to create lift and volume for added fullness and support, and to add texture to new hair growth to match previously permed texture, which is a purpose of base perming.

• A. To bleach hair
• B. To shorten processing time
• C. To remove curl
• D. To maintain color only

Answer: (A)

Base perming targets the base area of the hair to create lift and volume, giving fullness and support at the roots while adding texture to new growth so it blends with the already permed texture. This helps the hair sit naturally with a consistent curl pattern as it grows out, preventing a flat or mismatched root and making the overall look more cohesive. Bleaching hair, shortening processing time, removing curl, or maintaining color only are not the aims of base perming—they’re separate services or outcomes. So none of the listed options truly describes base perming’s purpose; the concept is about lifting, adding volume, and texturing at the base to match existing permed texture.
