Setting the part two or three fingers off center piles most of the hair onto one side, which builds root height on the heavy side and drops the other into a clean fall behind the ear. The sweep travels diagonally across the forehead rather than dropping straight down. Hair trained to a center part drifts back for the first week, so blow-dry the root against the new direction to break the habit.

Suitsround, square, oval face shapes. The sweep crosses the brow on a slant, so the eye stops measuring the face against its own midline and a round or square outline looks narrower.
Hair typefine, medium density, straight, wavy. Fine hair gains a little root lift from the deep part, while very thick hair piles up on the heavy side and needs internal weight removed.
UpkeepShape it up every eight to ten weeks, and lift the part with a dryer and your fingers each morning so it does not collapse flat.
