In the ever-changing world of hair trends, it’s not uncommon for hairstyles of bygone eras to make a beauty comeback. This year alone we’ve seen the blunt '90s bob, the choppy ‘70s-inspired shag, and even the nostalgic ‘00s pouf enjoying a resurgence. Yet there’s one iconic millennial favourite that has been yet to claim its place in the spotlight until now—the humble side parting. We’re calling it though, with so much love for ‘00s beauty trends right now, this classic parting style will likely dominate 2024.
“Side partings have a timeless allure due to their versatility and ability to flatter a wide range of face shapes. They offer an elegant, slightly asymmetrical look that highlights the facial features beautifully,” explains celebrity hairstylist, Edward James. “Celebrities often embrace side partings on the red carpet as they can be adapted to suit both contemporary and classic styles, whether it’s Hollywood waves or a wet-look chic bob. A side parting transforms a simple hairstyle into something more polished with an intentional style statement.”
