Women’s Style Trend: The Center Part for All Hair Lengths

For almost a generation, the center part has been adopted with caution by stylists and fashion savvy women, since it has the potential to widen a round face, draw attention to the nose, and divide the face in way that can emphasize any form of facial asymmetry. The center part can look severe on some faces and as a result, it can be risky. The side part, on the contrary, offers a safe way to lend balance, harmony, and elevation to the features. But these days, risk is in. And so is the concept of finding beauty and drama in slight, deliberate asymmetry.

Stars on the red carpet have already embraced the center part, and daring women everywhere have followed their lead and left the sweet, safe side part behind. When it’s paired with a glamorous style and a color that suits the face, the center part can easily become the center of attention.

The best part about choosing the best part is that changing your part can dramatically alter your look with almost no commitment. Before you consult with your stylist or cut your hair, experiment with different parts on your own. Note how a slight change in your part can alter the angles and shadows of the face, and can elevate or de-emphasize the cheekbones, the eyes, the jaw line or the smile.

A center part can work well with or without bangs, and can showcase the life and shine of both short and long hair of every texture. But one of the hottest center-part looks of the moment is one that I’m asked about almost every day. This in-demand, somewhat retro style involves grown-out bangs, cut to the jaw line or longer. With a neat part in the center, the hair (curly or straight) is swept symmetrically back from the face or into an elegant updo.
