Not too long ago, where you parted your hair was super controversial. First, there was team side part, comprised mostly of millennials who were all about asymmetry (and side bangs, tbh).
Then Gen Z chimed in and declared the side part dead, making middle parts trendy. And now, of course, side parts are back—and all over the spring runways (Y2K wins again).
The perfect way to wear your hair? Whatever way *you* want. And the best, er, part? You don’t have to pick a team. It is completely possible to divide and conquer— whether you want to part your hair to the side, the middle…or somewhere in between.
THE EASY PART
Before playing around with your part, figure out where your hair naturally falls. Celebrity hairstylist Clariss Rubenstein has a simple trick for that: “Brush all your hair straight back, then push it forward to see where it falls,” she shares. Depending on how long you’ve worn your current part and how your hair behaves (thx, cowlicks and curl patterns), you might not have a clear, straight line—but this should allow you to at least see the start of your part.
