Moving the part two or three inches from center throws the bulk of the hair to one side, and that imbalance is the whole effect: lift at the root on the heavy side, a diagonal sweep over the brow, and a cleaner profile on the other. The part has to be cut for, not just combed in, or the hair fights back toward center by midday. A little root powder, or a clip while it dries, sets the direction.

Suitsround, oval, square face shapes. Loading the hair onto one side puts an uneven mass beside the cheek, and that imbalance is what takes the apparent width out of a round or square outline.
Hair typefine, medium density, thick, straight. Thick hair holds the deep part without help, while fine hair needs a little root lift so the heavy side does not collapse flat against the head.
UpkeepEvery ten weeks for a trim, and the part has to be combed back in while the hair is damp at each wash, since a deep part will not hold if the hair dries in its natural fall.
Ask forAsk for a shoulder-length wavy cut with the part set two to three fingers off center and the front sections cut to fall across the forehead.
