Length exaggerates what a deep part does. With hair below the bust, the heavy side has enough weight to hold a real curtain over one eye and cheek, while the exposed side shows jaw and neck, so the face reads asymmetric from every angle. Keep the front sections a touch shorter than the back so the sweep has something to fall from. On very heavy hair the part can drag flat, and a root lift at the crown fixes it.

Suitsround, oval, square, diamond face shapes. An off-center sweep drops hair across one side of the brow, adding width where a diamond forehead is narrow and denying a round or square outline the evenness it reads width from.
Hair typemedium density, thick, straight, wavy. Density matters more here than pattern, because the swept side needs weight to stay put and fine hair tends to slip back toward center.
UpkeepTrim every twelve weeks, reset the part at every wash, and count on a few iron passes on the front curtain to keep its direction across the face.
Ask forAsk for a deep part on your stronger side, long layers behind it, and front pieces cut to cheekbone or lip length so the sweep has shape.
