| Base | The section of the hair that is attached to the scalp |
| Stem | The section of hair between the base and the first turn of the roller or curl |
| No stem curl | The curl is secured directly on its base provides the least amount of movement but the greatest amount of curl |
| Half stem curl | The curl is secured half inch off its base provides a medium amount of movement and curl |
| Curl | Also known as Circle the end of the hair strand that forms a complete circle for pin curls roller setting and Thermal setting |
| On base | The curl sits completely on it base |
