Change your part-ner September 10, 2009

I am hoping you all read yesterday’s blog, plugged in the curling iron and found your inner vixen. Today, we will talk about updating your look, no matter your hair length, or texture.

Most people’s hair falls in the same direction every day. There is a side that is your automatic go-to part. If your like me, your head may even tilt in that direction naturally ( any chiropractor out there? ). The hair on either side of that part knows what to do, unfortunately it usually lays flat. Changing the part every now and then will perk up the follicle and boost volume.

Sometimes a whole new hair cut and style is too much change, sometimes all you need is a boost. A new bang shape may be enough. Cutting shorter eyelash length bangs can make your hairstyle look hip without a commitment. As they grow out pushing them off to the side will make it look new and fresh without any change at all.

Changing your part will do the same.

A deep side part will add instant sexy to your hair no matter the length. Parting 2 inches above the temple and pulling the heavier half toward your face while sweeping the lighter side behind your ear will give you glamour girl style without much change.

A middle part is trickier, but with the right proportion you can channel Charlie’s Angel’s swing. Blow dry the bangs back, blending them into the style. Make sure the height comes from the crown and your style has body and texture by curling it with a giant iron.
