What defines Classic side part?
A classic side part divides the top into a wider swept section and a narrower side. The difference in direction gives the front a defined outline.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Locate the part in relation to the brow. In profile, see where the swept section rests and how neatly the side sits above the ear.
What to confirm with your stylist
Show your natural part and how you like to comb the front. Decide whether the line should be softly parted or strongly defined.
