When Gen-Zers declared that side parts were not cool, many millennials and Gen-X folks reluctantly parted their hair in the middle. According to the hip and young age group, skinny jeans as well as side parts were out of date and out of date. After this statement, even celebrities took notice and did not get any side parts for many years, until they came back with a vengeance.
Lately, the side part has become very popular again, with the return of old fashioned trends like ’80s-inspired neon colors and low-rise jeans. Margot Robbie rocks her side part during the “Barbie” press tour, and Sofia Richie Grainge shows off her darker side for a night out. Parting your hair on the side brings out the corners of your face, so if you go for a ripped look, this will accentuate your features. This is also a softer way to wear your hair, and you can switch sides as you like. Most people look best with hair swept to the left or right, so play around and see which side looks best on you.
Side part adds volume to your hair
If your locks are on the finer side, flip your hair into a side part to add some volume. Middle parts weigh down your hair and can make your hair look loose. Zendaya’s bob looks effortlessly chic with a deep side part and just the right amount of waves. To add more texture, spritz your hair with beach spray and curl it with your fingers.
side part your bangs
Are you feeling like you want to revamp your bangs? Sweep bangs into a side part. This will add dimension to your cheekbones and highlight your facial features. If you’re growing out your bangs, this is a great way to switch them up while keeping them out of your eyes. Giving your bangs a side part also adds charm to a cropped crop instead of letting them fall straight.
Sleek sides compliment your ripped makeup
Sleek ‘dos never go out of style and are the perfect way to accentuate dramatic makeup. To get this look, create a deep parting on your favorite side and spritz your hair with a heat protectant and anti-frizz spray. Working in sections, straighten hair with a flat iron, making sure to stay as close to the roots as possible. When you’re done, apply a finishing serum to your hair to make sure it stays smooth all night long.
Deep side parts are great for round faces
For people with round faces, a deep side part can give the illusion of length and make features more symmetrical. You can add some height to your head by adding a slight flip to your side part and creating loose waves. Just make sure you don’t create too much volume or else your hair will extend beyond your face.
