What Your Hair Style Says About You

No matter which method of parting hair is stylish, you still need a hairstyle that you love and makes you look terrific. Beauty guru Eva Scrivo of Eva Scrivo Salon discussed how to choose where you part your hair with Gotham : "Whether a side or middle part is best depends more on your face and head shape than your age," she said. 

While you might enjoy using your hair to express yourself, you should consider some surprising mathematical concepts when choosing an outstanding style. "Hair styles are not only a form of self-expression," she said. "They are also about geometry and, when designed correctly, balancing asymmetry in our facial structures." The shape of your face makes a difference, she said; an off-center hair part will make a round or square face look slimmer. "A deep side part can add instant glamor and a 'red carpet' feel," she said, while center parts enhance the features of women with symmetrical faces. "It also has a more casual, relaxed feel to it and perhaps less professional," said Scrivo. "A great pro tip is to blow dry the hair forward when wearing a middle part.

Ultimately, where you part your hair is up to you, but there is some science to it, depending on your face shape. If you have questions, talk to your stylist about which options would best compliment your features.
