![]() ![]() My follicles are trained for a side part. I've had a side part my whole life I can't just shower and decide my roots are going in another direction now. ![]() "I just came here to say this isn't something you can wake up one day and change. It's probably worth noting that I am also a millennial." - Kelsey Castañon, beauty director "I couldn't look cute with a middle part if I tried (and I would know this because I have tried), so I fall firmly in the 'side part' camp, if only for the sake of my own vanity. Maybe I'm just a creature of habit - or maybe it has something to do with the multiple people who've told me side parts don't suit me - but I am definitely team middle part." - Chanel Vargas, editorial assistant, trending and viral features There was a brief period in college where I tested out the side part and got a few compliments, but ultimately, it was too much effort to pick which side I liked my hair on best, and when it came to haircuts, I could never bring myself to have it cut with a side part in place. "I've been rocking a middle part since kindergarten, and I can't see my style changing anytime soon. I have to hand it to the Gen Zers on this one - I like my middle part as much as Mona Lisa does." - Alanna Martine Kilkeary, assistant managing editor, Not to mention, consistently having one side of my hair hang in front of my face isn't as worth it as it once was in my e-girl days. A middle part suits my round face, and I actually think it's made me look a little more mature. I'm not sure if it was the bad dye job that made me hate parting my hair to the side, but I've stayed away from it ever since. "I was about 17 years old when I realized the side part just isn't for me (note: this was also when I gave my naturally dark brown hair absolutely dreadful blond highlights). Not to mention, whenever I do part my hair to the side, it makes my hair look too voluminous on top and slightly dated, so I can't help but agree with Gen Z on this one." - Genesis Rivas, assistant beauty editor, I'm also a zennial, but honestly, I feel like a middle part is just very chic and most people look better with it than they let on. "Let me preface by saying that I've been wearing a middle part since the sixth grade, so I'm biased. On the rare occasion when I do go for a side part, I've always felt more mature, so there may be some truth to the grown-up character of the side part." - Shelcy Joseph, assistant shop editor "I've been a middle-part girl for so long, it feels strange to style my hair any other way. However, I am a strong advocate of rocking whatever makes you feel your best, so you do you Team Middle Part™️ welcomes all individuals." - Perri Konecky, editor, trending and viral features I'm basically the James Harden of hair parting after he traded teams to the star-studded, ring-chasing Brooklyn Nets - all the cool kids are doing it. But as I've grown into my face, I've naturally switched to Team Middle Part™️. Nothing says middle school like a side part, sweeping bang, and scrunched hair does. "I'm not going to lie, I rocked a strong side part back in the day. It's basically science." - Jillian Selzer, senior social media editor, Once you figure out how to style a middle part in a way that works for your face shape and hair, I promise you'll feel more powerful. I totally understand the hesitation of going down the middle - it's a scary commitment - but don't knock it until you try it. But as a zillennial trying to embrace my Gen Z side, I have to say that when I switched to a middle part (paired with curtain bangs, because I want to be like all the famous TikTokers out there), my hair game was absolutely changed. ![]() "Listen, I'm not knocking a good side part.
