Used to side part to the left, which shows less grey than the right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2331985 Mon, 24 Jul 2023 11:42:05 +0000 lyn67 2331985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know which is my mor expressive eye, LOL:-), but yes, I changed parts from times to time when I had a shorter bob or&nbsp; a pixie-still, I&nbsp; always preffered it on my right side. Then I got crazy cowlicks in the bangs (and my back of the head). I now also have thinning temples and crown- so am&nbsp; toying with growing out my pixie to gain a bit of length for some framing cascade bangs to hide the temples- which require a &nbsp;central parting obviously-&nbsp; and I also desire to have more hair around my face and on my neck, too. My target would be a kind of crop shag/mullet to enhace some natural waves-but I cannot go too long-just don't have the density for that-so I just don't know if that is old fashioned or not, but I don't want to use much heat to&nbsp; style anymore...see if I can stick with, because is a mess right now...:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2331600 Fri, 21 Jul 2023 23:14:14 +0000 Minaminu 2331600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Notsaf, if you look at the mirror and cover part of your face with a sheet of paper and move the paper to the left and right, it is easier to see where your partition should be.

Both of those are driven by what/is most popular at that time, I would say. Whether or not either is flattering if for other people to judge and me not to care about as I think they're both fine! :D</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2331132 Wed, 19 Jul 2023 13:28:22 +0000 Angie 2331132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have a middle parting decades ago - but switched to side, and prefer it that way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2331102 Wed, 19 Jul 2023 05:20:34 +0000 AmyS 2331102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m going to try this! I’m not sure it will stay out because I’ve been parting my hair on the same side if my head since I was 13, but it’ll be a fun experiment.

I don't really experiment with parting it the opposite way because of this perceived flaw and I never have my hair pulled back exposing my whole forehead either. My variety comes with playing with the length and cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330281 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 23:28:04 +0000 Andrea H 2330281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For years I parted my hair slightly to the right or a lot to the right. Whenever I tried a left part (either on purpose or because a not-my-usual hairdresser blowdried it that way) it always felt deeply uncomfortable and wrong, lol. Recently I've been experimenting with a middle part. I used to just pull my hair straight back when putting it in a bun or ponytail, but I've been middle parting it now when I do and I really quite like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330253 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 20:03:55 +0000 Bee 2330253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve always worn my hair to the side. I switch sides every time I wash although I never really needed extra volume until now. Just a habit I picked up from my mother, who would usually blow dry my hair straight since I was a toddler up until her heart surgery and shortly before she passed. I was 22 at the time. Some more wisdom from mum, don’t part your hair down the middle if you don’t want to draw attention to the features in the center of your face (nose, lips, chin, etc). Since I find my nose way to big and lips too thin, I’ve been following her advice my entire life. Even when I do my makeup I prefer nude lip shades or just gloss while highlighting my eyes, which I consider my best facial feature. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330219 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 15:03:39 +0000 LJP 2330219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these young women with their centre parted long hair .....I suggested my own try parting her hair on the side and the look she gave me.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330204 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 13:33:39 +0000 Irina 2330204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair naturally parts off the center on the right. I used to play with parting more on a right side when I had longer hair. But it only stays until the lightest breeze and it reverts back to its original place.&nbsp;<div>I used all sorts of styling techniques when I was younger. But now all I need is a good haircut. It must look decent without styling as I air dry my hair after swimming (4 days a week).&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330178 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 10:34:03 +0000 kkards 2330178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I misted to, but the older I get, the less I experiment. &nbsp;My hairdresser on the other hand changes it a lot, but I seem to keep “putting it back” when I wash a couple of days later. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330176 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 10:29:16 +0000 bj1111 2330176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do deep side parts. Side depends on how much root is showing on one side and hair length. </p> <p>Shorter pixie more flattering with a left part, growing out pixie /cropped bob (crob?) better with right side part</p> <p>Dreadful with a center part—too severe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330174 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 09:40:45 +0000 ChristelJ 2330174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I change my part from side to side every week or so. My heavy hair flattens out over time and the change gives it a lift. I do favor one side part over the other because the grey streaks look better on that side. I also change back and forth from a far side part to one nearer the middle, but I never do a real middle part, which is incredibly unflattering on me. I love a side zig zag but never seem to get it quite right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330173 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 09:04:51 +0000 Janet 2330173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I change my part slightly from day to day, just depending on how my hair is behaving, and sometimes change from left to right when it feels like I need a little more volume. I don’t look great with an exact middle part — that’s hard to wear unless you have a very symmetrical face, IMHO. I love a side part and have had a more extreme side part at times in my life (not now with this current cut). </p> <p>My sister (a hairstylist for decades) recommends parting hair above the more expressive eye, if you have such asymmetry. It can help open up the face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330148 Thu, 13 Jul 2023 04:36:16 +0000 Jaime 2330148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do try, especially when my hair is a bit overgrown, but it never works out for me.

One time it was because I highlighted my hair and it was way too much on one side so I changed it and it was better.

I like the variety, and it works for my thick, slightly wavy hair, which has a mind of its own anyway. For decades, I wore it parted on the right, until my then stylist suggested parting it on the left. It was liberating! And that small change made a big difference. After that, it was constant change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330060 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 18:10:01 +0000 Minaminu 2330060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do change&nbsp; but always stick on keeping the same side. Someone suggested using a A4 paper to see which part is best and it works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330043 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 17:15:24 +0000 LJP 2330043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do - but always revert back to the usual after a fresh cut . When my hair gets to that “ need a cut” stage I can change the part to get a bit of extra time out of it . And someone will always comment ( I see at least 400-500 people a day at work ) that it looks really good or asks if I had it cut , lol. I’ve got crazy cowlicks and thinning temples so parting is a project in itself . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330020 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 16:09:09 +0000 slim cat 2330020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair does what it wants plus there is a cowlick on the back of my head - there is that .

Usually a bit left of center, but sometimes dead center and sometimes a bit on the right. I usually have a bit of a zigzag because I never bother trying to align the whorl in the back with the rest of my hair. It took me *years* to figure out how to do tousled and I quite enjoy it.&nbsp;</p> <p>When everyone was wearing deep side parts, I tried to hop on that bandwagon, but my hair never stayed there for long. So glad the youth swept in and reminded us all that center parts are all right!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330010 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 15:11:22 +0000 Roberta 2330010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When my hair was longer, I did this several times a year - for the lift you describe. Also, if I was trying to grow my hair out a bit, it gave me the change I craved. Now it's so short that there isn't much I can do to alter its look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/changing-where-you-part-your-hair-a-risk-free-hair-tweak#post-2330009 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 15:11:14 +0000 Rejoiceandbe 2330009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair parts where it wants to.
