Long Side Part Hairstyles

Long side part hairstyles are a flattering look that has “Hollywood-glamour” written all over it. It is a classic look that doesn’t focus attention on the symmetry of the face, and certainly is more flattering if the wearer has a more “prominent” or larger nose that needs de-emphasizing, so to speak. This is a lovely look that can be worn in several different styles.

Facial Shapes Long side part hairstyles are attractive for several shapes of faces, but most suitable for oval-shaped faces. For those women with more rounded faces, a longer length is recommended so that the face is more elongated and having the part on one side helps that appearance. For the square, diamond, heart, and pear-shaped faces, long hair can be worn, a side part not necessarily the most flattering style.

Getting that Classic Look

For women who prefer that classic glamorous look, a deep side part is certainly easy to get, but there needs to be more fluff and fancy than just parting the hair on the side. The best recommendation to getting that great look is a combination of hot rollers, a comb, and a good shine serum. For the best look wash and dry the hair as normally performed, and apply a few drops of the shine serum to the entire length of the hair. Create the part just above the arch of the eyebrow for about three to four inches. Roll the hair as desired to create a beautiful wavy look, but don’t use small rollers or too many of them unless a curly-topped “Shirley Temple” is the goal for the look. Make sure to roll the hair under the curler to create that lovely, soft, sensational look.

Other Looks

An alternative style to create using the side part is to put it up in pigtails. The part is still on the side, it is extremely easy to style, and still gives that spunky, flirty, fun sensational look. Another suggestion is to pull one side up and fix with a barrette or brooch giving a completely different look that is still pretty and glamorous.
