Jen Booth shows how to find your ideal side part by face shape and eye asymmetry. A deep side part elongates round faces; a softer part softens square ones. Set the part while hair is wet and blow-dry to lock it in.
Let me tell you something that no one is saying out loud. The side part is back. How exciting! But listen, not everyone should be wearing the same one. And if you've ever tried a side part and thought, why does this look incredible on her but weird on me? This video is for you because the problem isn't the trend. The problem is placement. So here's the truth. Your part is one of the fastest ways to balance your face without creating a single inch of hair. You see, most people think a part is just a part, but it's actually a design line, and lines either work with your face shape or they work against it. So let's break this down. Here's a quick trick to create balance in your face shape. So if you pull your hair all the way back and you take a look in the mirror at your face shape, you will notice, because no one is perfectly symmetrical, that one eye is going to be lower than the other eye. And sometimes it's the left eye, sometimes it's the right eye. Just take a look. Now the most amazing part about that, whatever eye is lower, and if you part to that side, it's actually gonna drop that eye more. So if you're like, Jen, but I have a cowlick, this is the only way that my hair will part, then what you will wanna do is, for example, if this is my lower side and I'm parting here, you're just gonna wanna make sure that you get a little bit more volume on that other side to create that balance. But if you are able to part on your higher side, it's actually gonna pull that lower side up. So just a quick trick for you to check out in the mirror. Another thing to look at is face shape. So if you have a round face shape, a rounder face shape, a deep side part creates instant length and lift. You know, it draws the eye upward, it elongates the face. If you have a square face shape, a softer side part works best. You know, you don't want anything too harsh. You want movement that softens strong angles. So if you have a heart or diamond face shape, a side part that helps balance width at the forehead and brings attention back to the center of the face is great. And if you have an oval face shape, yes, you're the lucky one, but even then, where your part sits still changes the entire look. So here's the mistake that most people make. You know, they flip their hair after it's already dry and hope for the best. But the real magic happens when the part is set while the hair is wet. So as soon as you finish shampooing your hair and conditioning and you put your products in, go ahead and set the part and blow dry to that. That helps your style feel effortlessly, and that way you work with the hair and not against the hair. And listen up, it's not about copying a celebrity. You know, it's about choosing lines that were designed for you. This is also why trends should never come before personalization. You know, personalization creates that confidence. So at your next reservation, let's take a look at your face shape and see what side part works best for you. Because once you see the difference, you'll never look at hair the same way again. And that's how small changes create big results.
