A Change in Part to Revamp Your Style
|
|
Want to change your
hairstyle without drastically chopping your locks? Before you shell out
major cash for a fresh style, consider modeling a new do with a simple
variation on the way you part your hair. Though there is not
necessarily a good or a bad way to part your hair, several mainstream
options are easy to achieve. What matters most is that you are
comfortable and confident with the style you choose. If you cannot
immediately decide on your preferred style, try the following, or make
up your own! |
|
|
A very common method of
parting the hair involves the natural part, which runs right down the
center of one's head. If this is your current
style and you are ready for a change, try to form a new part a bit to
the left or the right of your current part. Parting your hair on your
own is a cinch! If you aren't familiar with doing so but want to try a
new look, first comb your hair as if you are going to throw it back into
a ponytail. |
|
Then take a thin comb and
trace a straight line along your scalp where your hair meets your
forehead to the back of your head. Separate the hair on either side of
the new part and gently brush or comb it down until it lays smoothly. If
you find difficulty with this, you may want to introduce a small dab of
a non-sticky styling product to your hair to calm it down. Also, if your
hair is very accustomed to a certain style, you may have to train it to
respond to the new part by brushing in the desired direction and adding
styling products when necessary. |
|
To keep hair healthy and
strong, it is important to schedule a trim regularly (or trim it
yourself if you are scissors-inclined!) to prevent split ends. If you choose to have your
stylist trim your mane for you, she should ask how you part your hair if
she does not already know. It is important to cut
with the part to keep your hair even and natural looking. If you only want to
change your look for a night, a chic zigzag part will stand you out from
the crowd. Using your comb, simply trace the part back and forth from
your forehead to the back of the head. Then separate the sections so
that they lay evenly on either side of your head.
|
|
Though you already have a
comb on hand, a handy, inexpensive tool makes the zigzag process a bit
easier. The Part Pizzazz is a tool with a point on one end and arms that
swing open to separate the sections of hair when you are finished. To
design the zigzag you merely trace the desired pattern on your head as
if using a pen or pencil and a sheet of paper. Hairagami produces the
Part Pizzazz.

Whether you are enjoying
your new look indefinitely or just for a night, remember not to run your
hands through your hair too much as it may disrupt the style. Be bold,
be conservative-be YOU-have fun and make a statement. Make sure you are
confident in your new style as you sport it in public. Then bask in the
glow of attention as those close to you notice something is just a bit
different about you. Switching your
part can make you feel fresh, energized and sexy. |

Enjoy it! |
