How To Make Your Hair Stand Out
What’s the secret? Just adjust your part.
Why your part matters
- The part of your hair is a critical element of your style. Be honest — you probably don’t play with your part very often.
- This is because most of us have hair that is trained to fall in one direction or the other.
- Although we are frequently tempted to cut, colour, curl or braid our locks, many of us forget to experiment with the part of our hair.
- This habit can be a mistake. By parting hair strands in the same way on a regular basis, you risk falling into a style rut or neglecting to find the look that is most flattering to you.
- So go ahead — dare to part differently.
Switch it up
- The easiest way to break out of a hair rut is to try parting the hair on the opposite side than usual.
- This will not just draw the eye to a different part of the face, but it can also bring more volume to the hair.
- Sometimes, this simple switch is all it takes to make a big difference.
Go dramatic
- If you’re looking for even more drama, try parting your hair deeply near your ear.
- By adopting a dramatic side part, you will project a daring image that works well for formal events and special occasions.
- If needed, use a few hairpins or a bit of gel or pomade to ensure that the hair stays in place. Check yourself out in a mirror to make sure it doesn’t slip out from the restraints.
Down the middle
- Depending on your face shape, this can be a very flattering part. Be sure to use a mirror to achieve a perfectly symmetrical look.
- You can let your hair tumble downward or pull it back into a ponytail for an effortless hairstyle.
New life for your hair
- You don’t need to invest in a haircut, color, or style session to give your hair new life. Don’t be afraid to experiment, and play with side and centre parts.
- Remember, the best hairstyles are fun to do and to wear.
