What is the term for a curl that is secured half off its base, providing a medium amount of movement and curl?

The term "Half Stem Curl" accurately describes a curl that is secured half off its base, allowing for a medium amount of movement and curl. In this technique, the hair is positioned so that it is not fully rooted at the scalp, which enables some flexibility. This positioning creates a curl that has more freedom than an on-base curl but still retains some definition. Because the curl isn't placed directly at the base, it doesn't have the maximum lift that an on-base curl would provide, nor does it lie completely flat like an off-base curl. Instead, it achieves a perfect balance, offering both volume and bounciness. This makes it a popular choice in hairstyling for styles that require movement without sacrificing shape or form.
