Despite being declared uncool by Gen Z influencers on TikTok only three years ago, side parts are suddenly seeing a renaissance. Yes, that’s right. Side parts are officially no longer “cheugy”.
After years of having middle parts dominate the hair scene, the tide has officially turned and side parts are suddenly everywhere again—and they’re looking chicer than ever. In 2023, the dramatic, deep side parts that once ruled the early 2010s have been given a more modern spin that’s sleeker and much more current. Whether styled tucked in or left hanging out, the beauty of the side part is that not only does it look extremely flattering on just about everyone, but it also pairs well with an array of different hairstyles—waves, curls, locs, braids, and even bobs. With that said, if you’re a stylist who tends to favor styling a middle part, now might be the time to finally consider flipping your part onto the side!
As it stands, the celebrity set has already fully embraced deep side parting with the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, Kim Kardashian, and Miley Cyrus recently experimenting with the growing trend. Ahead, take a look at just a few of the celebs that have been helping to spearhead the side part revival.
