*Today I parted my hair down the center.*
This may seem inconsequential to many, but to those who've rocked the side-part for years, it's anything but.
I decided to take a flying leap and style my hair with a center-part. There I stood, in the bathroom, blow-dryer in hand. I knew it was moment of consequence. Was I really going to do it? My fingers tingled with delight at the thought of it. *I went for it.* The entire time I blow-dried and straightened, I questioned myself.. What do I even look like with a center part? I honestly couldn't remember, as I haven't styled my hair that way in at least 4 years.
Fifteen long minutes later, there I stood. And stood. I had random thoughts buzzing through my head; Fergie, bad 70's movie, senior photo. But you know what? It wasn't bad. I think I actually like it. It ages me, but in a good way. I actually look my age, like a professional. Does anyone really know when the side-part pandemic originated? I'd have to say it's my favorite hairstyle of all time; flattering on just about anybody. But there's something freeing about parting your hair down the center and forgetting about it completely.. Almost like that's how hair was meant to fall. I don't know. I may decide to go "center part" every once in a while to change things up, but don't expect to see my side-part disappear any time soon.
What do you think.. are you a side-parter, or a center-parter?
Or... do you *gasp* not even part?..
I think it's super cute on you. I have worn my hair parted on the side for a loong time - before then I was too little to care about combing my hair at all. : ) I will have to see how I like mine parted in the middle... : )
ReplyDeletei'm definitely a side parter. I tried the middle part thing when I was little but looking at old pictures of that time makes me never want to revisit that look. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI don't actively part my hair every morning, I basically just let it do what it wants, and I believe that it wants to be side parted (even if I had to encourage it in the beginning). :)
p.s.- it is amazing that one slight change to your hair can change your look so much.
