3 Simple Yet Chic Middle Part Hairstyles
June 17, 2021
Slick Bun
A slicked-back bun (or ponytail) is a classic style that’s perfect for getting your hair out of your face while still looking ultra-polished and put together. You can elevate a traditional bun by creating it with a middle part. To keep your middle part intact while creating the bun Stenson says, “Section out two small triangles on either side of the part to separate the fringe hair from the rest of the ponytail. Once the ponytail is brushed straight back and secured, the triangle sections should be combed horizontally around the head and added to the pony.” If you’re aiming to create a bun rather than a ponytail, simply follow his steps and then wrap your hair around the elastic and secure it with another elastic or bobby pins to keep the bun in place. To tame flyaways and give your style a sleek appearance, apply a few drops of the Matrix Total Results Mega Sleek Mega Varnish serum to your palms and smooth onto the hair.
Half-Up Pigtails
If you’re looking for a simple hairstyle with a unique twist, try out this half-up pigtail look. It’s easy to achieve but it has a fun, eye-catching component to it. When recreating this style, Stenson recommends that you section out the upper portion of hair on each side before pulling it back to ensure an even finish. If you’re not sure where to place the pigtails, he says, “High placement of the pigtails that aligns with the cheekbones diagonally is generally a very complementary angle for the face. A good rule of thumb is the higher the placement, the more playful the look.” If you want to add some volume to your crown as well as remove any excess oil at your scalp, spray a bit of the Garnier Fructis Invisible Dry Shampoo at your roots prior to styling. To add shine and tame any frizz to the lengths of your hair, apply a few drops of the Kérastase LHuile Original Hair Oil to your ends.
