Looking good is a choice we all make and a result we all desire to achieve, and the very first step to looking good is your part.
A hair part is a very first step to a good looking, amazing and awesome hairstyle. You can part your hair in various ways, at the side, through the center, diagonally or random.
But the underlying question is this, are you parting your hair the right way? Is there even a right way to part your hair? Yes, there is. Luckily, we're here to show you the right part for your hair and how to part it.
Middle Part
The middle part or a center part is arguably the easiest and fastest way to part your hair. It's great for those with round shaped faces as it evenly distributes the hair to flow on either side to elongate it.
To make the middle part, follow the steps below.
-
Step 1 - Divide your hair into 2 equal sections: Start your part from the very center of your forehead. Place your finger at the middle of your hairline, lining it up with the tip of your nose.
-
Step 2 - Work it through the center: After you've found the center of your hairline, divide your hair down the middle until you've gotten to the crown of your head, which begins where the top of your head takes a downward curve. Move the hair using your fingers to create a soft, casual and professional look.
-
Step 3 - Use the tip of your rat tail comb not the teeth: Place the tip of your combat the center of your hairline and draw it in a straight line towards the crown of your head. When you reach the crown, remove the comb. After the part, comb the two even sections away from the center, doing this makes your hair lie flat against the sides. Avoid using the teeth of the comb to part your hair as it will only end up tangling it.
-
Step 4 - Style your hair: Styling your hair makes it more voluminous. If you find out that one of the sides is uneven, you can always run your fingers through the uneven side and fluff it a bit to make it even out.
There you go, now your middle part is ready for more styling.
Side Part
A side part is really great for those with diamond-shaped or square shaped faces, as it helps to show off the angles of their faces. Side parts are good with the everyday hairdo.
How to get a side part? Follow these simple steps.
-
Step 1 - Find the center: First find the center of your hair and define it, after that move ½ - 2 inches away from the center and make your part for a soft side part. For a deep side part, move 2 - 3 inches away from the center of your hairline.
-
Step 2 - Use your comb: Using either your comb or your hand will keep your hair from tangling and keep your hair maintaining the part for a long while.
-
Step 3 - Pick a side: Your hair will always naturally fall to one side of your head. Picking the side where it falls naturally allows for effortless and simple hairstyles. But if you want to go daring and sexy, flip your hair towards the opposite part of your hair's natural fall. It helps to add extra volume and gives that touch of sexiness.
The only thing remaining after this is to go ahead with the styling.
Zig Zag Part
A zig-zag part works with both the center part and the side part, this means whatever part you choose, your zig zag part will flow with it.
It's very simple to create, just follow the steps.
-
Step 1 - Find the center or the side part: Finding the center part of the hairline or going for the side part of the hairline is a very good place to start from, as this allows you determine the style your zigzag part will take.
-
Step 2 - Part: Using the tip of the comb, part your hair 1 - 2 inches back, then move another 1 - 2 inches to the left side, then move 1 - 2 inches in the opposite direction. Alternate between the two sides till you reach the crown of your head.
The zig-zag part is very good if you're looking for an unconventional and unique, as it flatters and goes with all face shapes
The right part can do wonders for your hairstyle and you, choose the right part and give your hair an overall and improved look. Whatever part you choose, make sure it's a style that fits your hair perfectly.
