5 Tips For Parting Your Hair Down the Middle






I have been playing with the closer to the center partings... I cant fight nature because It always ends up back to an exaggerated side part... bobby pins will be the key to training my hair to fall exactly where I would like it....

When you part your hair, you pull the comb from the top of the back of the head, known as the crown, to your forehead.

To make middle-parted hair more adulatory to all face shapes, be sure to end the part about ¼ inch to ½ inch away from the current center of your head.


Taken from Bella sugar
Symmetry: If you have a slightly crooked nose or somewhat unaligned eyes (like me), a severe straight-down-the-middle part can have a tendency to highlight what you don't want to highlight. Instead, go for a part that's just a wee bit off to the middle. You'll still get the same effect but with more flattering results.

Softer styles: If you're dead set on going for exactly in the center but are worried about it being too extreme, just create a smaller part instead, which looks a bit softer. You can also try starting your part in the middle at the hairline, and veer slightly off-center to the side as you work your way back. Another trick? Still part your hair down the middle, but use your fingers to create a not-too-perfectly-straight part you'd get from a comb.

Widow's peak: If you have a widow's peak, a middle part can work for you too. You don't have to fight the natural parting of your hair, but you can coerce it to lie flat by combing damp hair tautly with a brush, followed by a blow dryer to set.
From boho to sleek: Middle parts on long hair create a bohemian, laid-back vibe. To transform the look into a sleek nighttime style, break out the flat-iron to create straight locks. Keep your makeup clean and simple so as to not compete with your more severe hairstyle.

Do it up: If you're considering wearing your hair back, take some inspiration from Cameron, who wore this loose, slightly off-center part with a wavy ponytail. For something more formal, slick your hair back into a tight bun to showcase your center part.

bumble and bumble curl conscious line

About a month ago I was in a rut with my hair... I wanted it all GONE. Being a hairstylist I am always so quick to preach product on clients but never use any myself. Maybe because I have always had shoulder length/fine hair and didn't need much to give it body... but now that it is long "er" it def needs something to liven it up.

I started using this Bumble and Bumble line and no longer want to put a razor to my head.
