Right? Left? Smack dab in the middle? The answer to this question is key to having fabulously awesome hair. If you haven’t guessed it yet, we’re talking about your hair part. Admittedly, when it comes to our hair, most of us (excluding ‘do chameleons like Rihanna) are creatures of habit. But, as the ever-changing locks of A-list celebs have taught us over the years, mixing up your part is essential to bringing out your best features and discovering if you’re a middle part Gwyneth gal, a sweeping side part Blake babe or a deep drama part KStew kinda girl. Grab your comb, get inspired by these famous ladies and their signature hair parts. Then head off to your nearest mirror to chart some unknown scalp territory!
1. Gwyneth Paltrow: If there’s anyone who owns her signature part, it’s the Goop Queen herself. But the road to the middle part was a rough one for Gwyneth (What can we say? The ’90s were a confusing time), but she finally found her home at last. (images via InStyle Mag and The Huffington Post)
