The side part is a timeless hairstyle that can add class and sophistication to any look. Whether you’re a marketing mogul like Don Draper, a mysterious millionaire like Jay Gatsby, or an average Joe trying to find the right hairstyle, the side part is perfect for anyone looking to elevate their style game. Luckily, finding your natural part is simple and can be done right out of the shower.
To begin:
Take a comb and brush your wet hair in both directions to see where your hair naturally falls. Once you have identified the direction of your natural part, you can easily customize the look to suit your personal style. There are two main routes you can take when styling a side part: a distinct bold part or a more natural sweeping part.
For a bold part:
Use a fine-toothed comb to make a hard line by combing your hair to one side and flattening the other side of the line down. This technique will create a very distinct line in your hair that is perfect for a polished and put-together look. On the other hand, a more natural sweeping part can be achieved by using your comb to brush your hair to the side without making any distinct lines. This technique will give your hair a blended part that is perfect for a more relaxed and casual style.
Hair Products for the side-part:
When it comes to products, the type you need will depend on your personal preference and the style you’re trying to achieve. If you want a bold and distinct side part, the Acca Kappa Styling Wax (found in store) is a great choice. This product provides perfect hold and shine that will last all day without the need for reapplication. On the other hand, if you prefer a sweeping side part with a dry matte finish, the Acca Kappa Clay (found in store) is an excellent choice.
Traditionalism:
If you’re a traditionalist, the placement of your part is important. The part should fall right in the middle of your eyebrow. To achieve this, draw an imaginary line from the part straight down to your eyebrow, or use your comb as a reference and line the part up to the center of your eyebrow. This will give your part a balanced and natural look that is not out of place.
In conclusion, the side part is a classic and versatile hairstyle that can work for anyone. By finding your natural part and customizing it to your personal style, you can create a polished and sophisticated look or a relaxed and casual vibe. With the right products and placement, the side part can be a simple and effective way to elevate your style and add some classic charm to your look.
