Side Part Hairstyle is Officially Back!
If you're someone who's relied on the classic parting style for ages, I've got some exciting news for you. The side part haircut is making a comeback, and it's your golden ticket to effortless, cool style!
Alright, let's talk about the side part – the OG of hairstyles that's making a serious comeback. Just recently, Louis Byrne, the Editorial Artist at L’Oréal Professionnel Paris, as well as a celebrity hairstylist, activist, and creator of the empowerment movement 'I Can I Am and I Will,' stated that the side part is officially back. 'It's back and better than ever!' And it's not just for the short-haired man; this is a trend for women too.
Back in the day, during the prohibition-era speakeasies, this hairstyle was all about serving up sophistication with a side of rebellion. It originally stemmed from a military style, but later became a symbol of sophistication. In the 1950s, the side part was often paired with a short haircut featuring tapered sides and back.
Today, this look is versatile AF, working its magic on any hair type or color. Plus, it's like a face-sculpting wizard, accentuating your best features and making you look like a million bucks. If you're rocking a diamond, heart-shaped, or square face, the side part is your new bestie. It will highlight all your best features without even trying.
So, if you wanna rock the side part, here's how to ask for it: When your hair is long enough to party up top (think 3–4 inches) and short enough to keep it chill on the sides (about ½–1 inch), tell your barber you're all about that side part. And if you wanna make sure you're on the same page, use your phone and show 'em a pic – no shame in being specific about your needs! Here are many options for your inspo:
