Hair Part Theory - Find the Best Hair Part for Your Face Shape & Features | Middle or Side Parting?

Hello peachies🍑 You know that the first question hairdressers always ask? “How do you like to wear your part?"
It's funny, most of us haven't really thought much about it. We usually go for either a middle or side part, and our hair seems to know where to go after every wash, like it's on autopilot or something.
It took a viral TikTok debate for many of us to pause and really consider our hair parting. You've probably noticed the huge obsession these days with the middle part-Gen Z seems to swear by it as the only "right" way to style your hair. But hey, it's not everyone's cup of tea. Some of us adore the middle part, while others find it tough to rock and prefer sticking to their trusty side part.
So which "sides" are you taking? Are you team middle or team side?
In today's video, we're diving into the debate to figure out what makes someone a great fit for either the middle or side part. Plus, we've got some tips on how to switch up your hair parting game, no matter which side you lean towards!

Jennie wears a hairpiece that makes her cranial top appear longer. Her hairdresser gave tips.

[@hypnotizingeyes3465]

As a child I used to wear a middle part as it was in fashion. I hate my pictures from that period of time. I have a high forehead and my face isn't perfectly symmetrical. Then as a teenager I discovered the side part and it literally changed my life. I started really liking myself and looking good. And now, me, 35yrs old...finding out at the beginning of 2024 that side part isn't cool and it's only for old people. What? Why would I go back to my worse nightmare...And so funny warching gen z thinking they invented the middle part...Life is so weird. Also imagine I only realised now in 2024 that the middle part is a thing lol. I don't like it on myself and most of people. Some people look good though. I think you need to have a perfect face, perfect forehead, symmetrical face...otherwise it doesn't look good, I don't like it anyway.

[@leniwykot6542]

SAME

[@zeph3338]

😮 dont believe this!! im 18 years old and i see people wearing both , i have bangs but im trying to switch to side part because i feel its more stylish and makes me look more feminine. rock your side part !!

[@Ilicia_08]

Same! I started to part my hair to the side when I was 13 and never went back! The whole emo scene happened so side parts were in. Then a few years ago I heard the same thing, that side parts are for old people and middle parts are the thing now. So I thought to try a middle part again (with bangs still of course) and I did a couple years ago. It looks ok sometimes but after watching this, I realize my true calling is some kind of side part ratio. My face is a little asymmetrical so back to side parts I go! I never should have left.

[@elektron-notrinosu]

peachie you probably look amazing with all this knowledge you have 😩

[@ari7836]

i’m aware this channel is mainly centered around east asian beauty so obviously curly/coily hair isn’t really focused on or taken in consideration since not many east asians have really curly/coily hair (as well as straight hair being more of the beauty standard over there) so i’m not offended or upset but as a a girl with afro curly/coily hair, i wish there was tips and examples like these but for my hair type (and black cultural hairstyles) but this video was still helpful nonetheless, ill try to find ways to included these tips without having to straighten my hair :) if anyone has any channel/video recommendations that gives tips on how to style my curly/coily hair based on my face shape/structure that’d be cool edit: wording

[@Chawaniii]

Im sure you ll find a youtube channel dedicated for curly afro mixed race hairstyles. Just search for 3C, 4A, 4B & 4C hair types. As you said this channel is mainly for ASIANs since it follows Asian influencers. And im glad there is a youtube channel for us

[@ari7836]

@@Chawaniii i apologize if it came off as if i was shaming her or saying it was a bad thing that this channel is centered around east asians. It’s definitely not a bad thing and it makes sense given that the creator is EA and the knowledge she shares is rooted from there and EA beauty standards. I’m glad that you guys get this representation. i definitely could’ve worded it better, i don’t expect peachie to include tips for my hair type since she most likely has no knowledge about it and that’s perfectly okay and realistic given her environment. I still find her content really helpful. i should’ve worded it like, i wish there was content out there for afro/curly hairstyles in the context of different face shape and structure, similar to peachies approach btw i tried searching that up but i mainly just see videos applying to loose curls and/or they don’t get as detailed but thank you for trying to help :)

[@bruh-hr1mt]

Tag me also, for example I have curly hair but I want to do something like curtain bangs since it would suit me but I don’t know how to achieve that effect without straightening..😓

[@tomatotoes6436]

Before reading, please not that I know that you know that this channel doesn’t have bad intentions regarding to that. Tbh it isn’t a big deal at all. The video was really helpful regardless, since all you need to know is if your face shape can suit the hair parts. Then if it doesn’t but you still want to achieve a middle part, you only need to add volume to your hair (so now you can just watch a vid about how to add more volume to type 3/4 which would suit your face depending on the advice given. EDIT ex: “I need to add more volume to the sides of my head so I should puff out the sides of my roots accordingly”.(Tbh I think it’s self explanatory why they didn’t give much attention on that since curly/coils hair is already much more voluminous or at least, much easier to add volume.) TLDR: You don’t need the people to tell you what to do if you have x features, since most of the time, you can take the initiative like I did with my type 4 hair. Bc of that, I think this channel is more than helpful enough most of the time. You don’t need to find ppl with the same features to understand how it works, really 🤷🏾‍♀️

I have searched for a video like this for years! I am blessed with a very full head of thick hair and tried all kinds of hairstyles, but could never understand what worked for me. I am so grateful that you made this video

[@luanallogan]

what suits you better? i have the same characteristics

[@Maria.Aurelia]

I used to side part until I realized I have delicate wispy baby hairs around my temples. I used to do side parts on my right side way too much when I was child/teenager that it started thinning a bit. Now I do middle parts and I love them! It makes me look classy. It also makes my face look less round! I have an oval face shape but it tends to look more round due to my low hairline, especially at my temples where my baby hairs grow close to my eyebrows! I also still have chubby cheeks besides me being a slim person! I’m very ingenue! I never do sleek middle buns/ponytails because I have a low cranium and plus, sleek looks are not flattering on me. I need hair to frame my face :) Usually I keep my hair down. Updos/down dos aren’t my favorite but if I had to choose one, I would do a updo with side bangs or two pieces hanging down on my face!

[@CertifiedDoulingo]

I'm the exact same as you! I currently side part my hair to the right because to me a middle part didn't look the best because my hair just didn't like going that way, but now I'm questioning which one would look better on me I still can't decide but I have the same face shape as you. What do you think?

[@Maria.Aurelia]

@@CertifiedDoulingo I love you duolingo. I like both I can’t decide either lol

these comprehensive tutorials really take me back to the detail that magazine beauty tutorials would go into back in the 1900s (😂😂help) and it was part of what made shuffling through magazines so exciting: you never knew if you could discover beauty treasure secrets ❤ it was a treasure hunt! Thanks for reigniting that excitement for me. i get giddy every time a new dear peachie tutorial comes out, because i feel like a student with how much knowledge is gifted ❤ Seriously, thank you ❤❤ Kevin Aucoin would be proud

I really love the ways you go about presenting different ideas in all of your videos ans guides. They're very thought out, researched, logical and really provide good insight and food for thought! I was wondering if you have any Insight/ videos of curly hair? And or short hair styles. I have naturally curly hair and recently buzzed my head, it really got me thinking about how much hair can frame our faces and contour our head shapes! I've so far experienced having very long hair, short hair and no hair and have felt all influence my appearance.

Dear peachie, this and many of your other videos have truly changed my life. I am a millennial and my childhood in the 2000s was full of people CONSTANTLY making me feel bad my appearance because I looked unruly. Thank you for teaching me that it's all about the technique and that it has nothing to do with me not being "pretty enough". I am truly glowing up in the way I sincerely want (and not how others suggest). Your videos are truly the best and most informative and every growing girl should watch them. Never stop being you ❤
