Changing your hair part can give you a fresh new look and even help address potential issues like thinning or breakage. Here's how to do it successfully, regardless of your hair type or current part:
Methods for Changing Your Hair Part
There are several effective methods to change your hair part, depending on your hair's stubbornness and your desired outcome:
The Quick & Easy Method:
- Start with towel-dried or dry hair. Using a wide-toothed comb, comb your hair back away from your face. Then, gently push the hair on top of your head forward, towards your face, using only your hands. The hair should naturally split, revealing your new part. (Source: Byrdie)
The Wet & Dry Method:
- Wet your hair each morning. Blow-dry it in both directions (right and left) to disrupt the existing part. Once dry, part it in your desired location and use styling products to hold it in place. (Source: Reddit)
The Gradual Training Method:
- For a stubborn part, start by gently shifting it slightly each day. Use non-crease clips to hold the hair in the new position while getting ready. This helps train your hair to fall into the new direction. (Source: Dermstore)
Addressing Stubborn Parts:
- Clean, dry hair is easier to manipulate. Use a fine-tooth comb to create the desired part precisely. (Source: Quora)
Benefits of Changing Your Hair Part
- New Look: Instantly refreshes your hairstyle.
- Volume Boost: Can add volume to areas that may appear thinner.
- Prevents Breakage: Rotating your part allows your hair to rest and reduces stress on a single area, minimizing breakage and potential thinning in that spot. (Source: Allure, Vogue)
Considerations
- Changing your part won't directly affect hair loss, but it can affect hair density in specific areas. (Source: Vogue)
