Middle part hairstyles have been a staple for decades, starting in the 1920s, 1970s, and 1990s, and have made a comeback in 2021 in a big way – thank you, Generation Z!

Recommended Video When you think of the classic middle part maybe you instantly think about Cher or Kurt Cobain. Maybe it even reminds you of Wednesday Addams from The Adam’s Family movies. Either way, it is the most versatile part because it makes it possible for all hair types, hairlines, and face shapes to have a confident look. The middle part, with the help of some styling and texture, will always give you more of a youthful glow. See these gorgeous ways to style your hair with a middle part for an ultimate proof.

How to Style a Middle Part

Whether you want to try a curtain fringe, get a sassy bob with a center part, or just style an updo with your hair parted in the middle – there is nothing you can’t achieve with a proper approach:

• If a cowlick is your reservation, have no fear! Blow dry your hairline using some root lifter for grip on damp hair and direct your flat brush back and forth until the cowlick dissolves (that’s how you train your bangs? too). It will make it so you can have the sleek middle parting of your dreams!
• Do you want to style the ultimate classic middle part look with smooth and sleek hair? I suggest my guests a flat wrap while blow drying, then using a combo of a styling paste with oil before and after flat ironing lightly.
• For an updo, throw your hair up and leave out the center-parted framing layers or part hair on the crown and bring it back to the bun or the ponytail base. Be sure it will look lovely with your favorite dress and tennis shoes. The whole vibe in 2022 is pretty comfortable.
