What defines Middle-part flow?
Middle-part flow lets the front open along the center and move around the sides of the face. The side lengths carry the direction toward the back.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Check whether the front frames the cheek or sits behind it. In profile, see how far the ends travel beyond the ears and where they rest at the nape.
What to confirm with your stylist
Show how you usually part your hair and which side lengths need to tuck. Ask what the crown will look like without shaping it back.
