Just like the right hairstyle can completely transform your look, the right parting can do so much to alleviate your current style. Centre, side or extreme side, we all have picked one way to part our hair and stayed loyal to it for years. However, did you know the right way to determine how you should part your hair depends on your face shape? Doing so helps accentuate your features and brings a balance to your face.
The centre or middle parting is one of the most common parting looks, probably because it is one of the easiest and quickest ways to part your hair. But is it suitable for all face shapes? Let’s find out. Parting hair at the centre gives your face an elongated look, therefore it is perfect for those who have a round face shape. Allow your hair to flow evenly and loosely on both sides in soft waves. To get the perfect middle parting, place the comb right at the centre of your brows to separate the hair and get that defined look.
Side parting
Side parting accentuates the angles of your face making it look more defined. This hair parting type suits women who have square or diamond face shape. It gives the effortless, girl-next-door vibes and is preferred by a lot of women. This type is more casual and does not require precision, so you can do it without a comb and mirror. Use your fingers to create a quick casual parting at the side, a perfect ‘I woke up like this’ look.
Extreme side parting
A sophisticated, glamorous hair parting type, the extreme side parting is a favourite among celebrities. Often spotted on the red carpet this parting involves taking all your hair on one side and allow your cheekbones to do the talking. This type suits women who have round face as well as those with heart-shaped faces. To create the perfect side parting place the comb at the end of your eyebrow and run it backward.
