Southern Living's editorial guidelines Published on August 17, 2023 Close Photo: @lucyhale Whoever started the rumor that side parts were going out of style was clearly mistaken. While middle parts come and go as the trendy style, side parts remain as a constant favorite of those who like to add a little something extra to any length or cut. A side part is not only versatile, whether you have short or long hair; but it also can add volume and movement to those with fine or thin hair, as well as make the most of the natural fullness of manes with curls or texture. Some might see side parts as traditional or even retro, and we don't mind. In truth, side parts can be subtly off-centered or dramatically parted deep, so there's a look for everyone. Whether you want to do something new with your go-to side part, or are desiring to try out a side part for the first time, use these stunning side part hairstyles as your inspiration. 01 of 12 Layered Lob-Length Cut @chrisjones_hair An easy way to keep short hair feeling fresh is by adding layers.
