They say facial symmetry is one of the most attractive traits, so it comes as no surprise that the middle part is a long-standing beauty favourite.
In addition to its flattering, face-framing qualities, the ‘straight down the middle’ parting is also super simple and easy to upkeep. The only challenge? Finding a way to make it look fresh.
