Cool video! I have a semi-related question for you: if I want to get my hair cut in a straight blunt bob (just maybe an inch longer than yours), and I usually part my hair to the side, should I get it cut with a side part or a middle part? Just so if I want to try a middle part, it doesn’t look weird 😉
@@Stefita83 Definitely get it cut in a middle part because if you cut it in a side part and it is blunt, you will get an overhang if you part it in the middle after.
I have an asymmetrical face where my jaw is more prominent and sticks out on the left side more than my right. My chin also leans a bit to the right. I’ve always been super insecure about my face, so I’ve learned that I’ve had to start posing a certain way in pictures, or part my hair a certain way, or else my face just looks…off lol but idk if how I’ve been parting it is actually the most flattering or not 😩
The “ zigzag” part made me smile. My son was an amazing hair dresser and this was his signature style on his clients. He passed in 2016 at age 38. What a sweet memory to come upon this today😘
I am so sorry for your loss Theresa. I’m honoured that this video would bring you a sweet memory of your boy. I have two sons myself and I can’t imagine how hard that must have been for you. Sending you a hug from Canada.
I was a hairdresser for 32 years and without fail, your natural part is always where it looks best on you. Nature knows what it’s doing, in my opinion. One exception is if you want height and fullness on top, then part it in the same spot on the opposite side.
This video finally gave me the confidence to return to the side part that flatters my curly hair, long nose, and large face! The middle part has done me and my hair and face no favours!! 😂
For ages I’ve worn deep side part on my natural part. But around 3 years ago I started using on the opposite side and I dunno why I didn’t start before. I’m loving how it looks on me. I loved your video, very technical!!
Watching your videos is a game changer for me! I’m now going to try and blow dry my hair like you do yours. I recently had a nanoplasty permanent straightening treatment and my hair is soooo thin looking after that, it used to have a lot of volume. I also am getting postpartum hair loss. So I’m gonna try your tricks! For the first time, I’m learning how to properly blow dry my hair thanks to you! :)
Your hair is gorgeous. It's not like I have uncombable hair syndrome but I can't easily change my parting, it always tries to go back to how it was previously, no matter how much I style it, my roots hurt a little bit too.
Thank you for this video!!! I, too, did the zigzag part and found with any kind part you desire, If you start from the back to the front, you have more control.
Thank you for this video!💖It was very helpful. I watched this because my fine textured hair has reached “mermaid length” and I’ve been in a quandary for at least 4 years about cutting it. It really does take a long time to get this length and at my age I don’t take that lightly. Until I’m really sure, I’ll just keep letting it grow! I was a teen in the 70’s. I wore a center part for years and it looked good on me back then…youth…😉. Now i notice that it emphasizes the nose-not my best feature. I found that an off center or high side part is best on me. I change the side of my “part” almost every day so I always have a little lift on top. I’ve never figured out my face shape! People have told me square, round and heart lol. I love the zig zag part! It looks softer and hair looks thicker on top. I do a more subtle zig zag. Everything in fashion comes back. I’m old enough that I’ve seen nearly everything come back again at least once! Do your own thing! One thing I’ve learned is that what looks best on you will always look best and most stylish! Shoving a round peg in a square hole may work but may not look the best! 💖
I remember doing the zig zag as well when I was younger. I always part my hair on the side, every few months I switch sides because I like the volume I get.
In high school & my first years of college I was completely committed to the middle part and now that I’m 40 I can’t even imagine parting my hair in the center 🤣🤣🤣 I have big curly hair so I feel the side part, the deep side part & the opposite side part are much more flattering.
When I part my hair I do the zigzag part, I find it works best with my thin curly/wavy hair. My hair doesn't care what's trendy apparently. Hopefully the zigzag comes back soon, but if not, I'll still be wearing it.
You do whatever works best for you! Who cares about “trends”? If it works for you then it works! I can definitely see how adorable it would look on fine curly hair.
I also have fine wavy hair, when the hair gets too long, the waves kinda disappear. I like both in me, side and middle part, but either way I need some lift on the roots especially in the front and top or my head will look just too flat. I also like an “untidy” zigzag. Doesn’t look so 2000s but still gives some movement. Since I have a wide jaw and cheekbones I cannot do the deep side part, because then I get triangleface, looks somehow unbalanced
Question 1: Do you do any nutritional supplementing for hair? Question 2: Does nose size and/or shape affect where a part looks best? Thank you for talking about parts! My natural part starts with a cowlick at the right front and I've let that determine my part for decades. Recently I saw a photo of my head from the back - eek! Too much scalp showing. Tried parting from the left side which seems to have more hair - is this even possible? A diagonal part left to right helps me camouflage thinning hair and the slight resistance gives my fine flat hair a bit of a lift in front.
I always do an opposite off center or deep side part. I have an asymmetrical face as well as very fine wavy hair that tends to be flat at the roots and poofy at the ends. Opposite side part is the best thing that works.
My hair dresser for 9 years asks me every time which way I part my hair. I show her. She Always does it on the opposite side! Every single time. A ywar ago, I just gave up and just showed her the way she ends up doing it anyway. She is so very good with my hair and that’s so hard to find, so I can get over this one flaw. She is awesome
I have always parted my hair in the middle. It is also where my hair naturally parts. I also have a cowlick right in the middle of my hair in front. I use the curling iron to make my cowlick lay the way I want it to lay. It only takes a minute to do and it's the way I've always done it.
Amazing! God sent me a hair angel! Thank you so much for your expertise. Loving the lessons you're teaching. I can feel my confidence building with every video I watch.
I'm going to try the zigzag. I spent most of my life with my hair parted in the middle. Then about 10 years ago, I started parting it on my right. When I get my hair cut, I am always asked why I don't part of the left (collic? on right), but it feels more natural on the right to me. When I try a left part, my hair wants to fall forward into my face like its trying to get back to where it should be lol. Great video!
I love all the tips!! I typically do the low side part but I think I may try alternating it to the other side. I can’t wait to see how it looks!!! You always have the most helpful and immediate ideas for us to try!!! Thanks for such great content!!!
Thanks Traci! I’m really glad that you’re finding the content useful. That’s super important to me. Try the opposite side part and see what you think. The volume really is unbelievable and the best part is that it doesn’t drop.
@@GlamGirlGabi OMG, I tried it before bed last night and that is how I’m wearing my hair today!!! I am one of those try things with my hair before bed to see if I can recreate a look or a technique. The volume is amazing and it actually looks better compared to when it’s parted on the other side. Great tip!!
Love your channel! I've used zig-zag parts for must be 20 + years. I have fine flat, straight hair and a long rectangular face. I use the left-hand side part because my right side hair is thinner and also the right side of my face has dropped more than the left, so I like to hide it. Middle parts look ok but not sure at age 57 that it's right, it looks a little raggy x
I haven't been able to part my hair in the middle since 1972 when I had a head injury that at the time required shaving about a half dollar sized patch right in front just above the hairline in the middle of my head. The skin was too thin for stitches ( it split open ) so they butterfly bandaged it. I had to side part my hair to cover up the grow out which was awkward & I've had a half inch white scar just above my hairline right between the eyebrows ever since. But guess where my hair naturally wants to part most of the time--the middle or slightly off side. I always have to tell stylists/hairdressers that I don't ever part my hair in the middle, at least not in the front. And I do switch which side/how deep/straight it gets parted pretty frequently to get volume or just to switch it up.
I usually do my natural side, but you're 100% right that I get more volume doing the other. I'm just so OCD it feels too strange. Lol. I did tho zig zag when in and tbh really liked it.
Yes some people can’t get around the opposite side part feeling! It can feel “off”. I totally get that. And yay for the zigzag part! I love it too. It’s so fun and interesting and so good for blending out roots that need to be dyed.
Hi Gabi, thanks for talking about layers. I've been doing layers forever and only because my hair stylist said it would make my hair thicker. Ugh! I'm going to make a change by doing the straight cut and taking out a couple inches. Another thing would you prefer the Tymo blow dryer, or the skin research institute blow dryer for thin long hair?
Can you demo how to take out Velcro rollers. I roll them in smoothly but removing them seems to put stress on my fragile fine hair. Btw I bought the rollers recently on your recommendation. Love your videos.
I'm rocking a side part right now (and I tried your roller setting the middle trick and it works SO WELL!) but I LIIIIIVED for a zig-zag part growing up 😁 Maybe I'll give it a go again. Thanks for the great video!
Yay!! I am so happy to hear that the middle part subsection trick worked for you! Honestly, I think the zigzag part is so cool and it really does soften the roots if you have any. It just adds a little spice to a normal style.
Such a good and educational video all I can say to you is thank you, know this you are amazing and I am always learning so much from you, your the best ever!
A blunt bob cut that was parted in the middle is really smart! I have a bob haircut, but it’s growing out, so I was looking more into getting a more blunt cut this time around. I played with my hair part really just at home because one side is longer. I’ll try out getting it cut with my hair divided in the middle. I just avoided it because middle parts look bad on me, but I’ve been more interested in hairstyles recently. 😊
When the part is off to the side , as you are wearing, my eye automatically drops back down to the smile on the face. I do not take a second look at the smile with bangs or a middle part, and that is a subconscious thing I never realized before. Celebrities may prefer bangs or a middle part to duck cameras by putting on sun glasses. I really never noticed before. When the part is to the side, the diagonal shape on the forehead also plays a neat trick as your brain draws vertical lines from the edge of your cheeks and lips to verify there is a diagonal shape there. In other words it makes a smile glow parting to one side, especially with volume added layers on top, pony tail styles also make the smile glow. I think forcing the person looking at you without them knowing it, figuring out how that smile is accented by the style is just cool. I don't want to say any woman looks bad in bangs or a middle part, I just don't see anyone talking about redirection to the smile, all I see is confusing (to me) face shape discussions.
Thanks for creating this I really enjoy your videos. Very informative... I think I'm going to venture from the middle and go into those other parts. 😄😊
a friend of mine suggested I zigzag my part to help hide sporadic grey growth. somehow I managed to expose every section of grey 😆. It took quite a few tries to avoid the gray patches!
Really great video! You packed a lot of info into this in such an easy to listen to/absorb style! I woke up with a zig zag the other day and really, really liked it! Now I'm trying to recreate that natural, slept-in look that is so flattering and cute😗
I change my part all the time it actually makes my Scalp feel better . Love to wear my hair back yet unfortunately My hairline is receding. Tension alapicia is layering my hair; I love ponytails It's a good way to corral my curls I can get a beautiful sleek Style. At once there's moisture in the air it just gets curly. And in the summertime wearing curls is like having a wool blanket on my head. Yet like you said a part can make even a ponytail look interesting and I'm very fortunate I got a facial structure that can handle a severe hairstyle such as a ponytail.
Gabi I always love your vlogs. I would love to ask what would be the best part for more mature women or women who have a little bit of a double chin? I have always had a small double chin and try never to put my hair behind my ears because I am very conscious it may not always look appealing or attractive. Thanks Gabi! 🌹
Hi! I'm not a pro but do have some experience (went to school for cosmetology but didn't/couldn't graduate because of my disability, unfortunately). My thoughts: avoid the middle part - it's like curtains, putting what's between on display & anything that isn't "perfect" will be more noticeable. The other two - zig-zag & side parts - are better options. Another thing not mentioned in the video - some people look better with no part, hair styled to go up & back. Try different parts & take photos. It's easier to judge than looking in a mirror & is the best way (IMHO) to decide for yourself. I would talk to your preferred hairdresser about your cut, also. Like the part, some cuts emphasize certain problem areas more than others. Hope I helped, in some small way. Have a good day!
@@V-Mac00 Thanks. I cannot afford a stylist especially now in this horrible economy in the US. I have done my own hair cutting and styling consistently since I was 15. Taught myself, books, tutorials now RUclips. I’m a little sad Gabby did not come back to check comments but people have a life and she gave her tips. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I agree and pretty much have done what you suggest. I think middle parts no matter how well done are harsh on a mature face. There may be an exception to the rule but I am not one of those exceptions! As we age we are not as pretty or attractive so having great hair can make up a lot for the rest. If they love your hair they won’t focus on your aging imho. Thanks again! 🌸
Great video! Just my opinion, but I don’t think center parts ever look good on anyone. And especially not men. Our faces are already so symmetrical. Even moreso for anyone whom wears eyeglasses. Too, the longer a person’s hair is, the worse a center part looks. Off-center or side parts break up that symmetry, and make the face much more interesting.
Changing my part to the left side felt uncomfortable at first but it really helped balance my asymmetrical face...funny thing was when i first did it i got so many compliments.. the eye really likes symmetry
Wow, who knew that so much information went into hair parts🤷.... You did such a great job explaining each one and with visual examples! Thank you so much for sharing!! Love the color of your hair btw and you're gorgeous so any style would look great. What would you say to someone in their late 50s who's been parting their hair the same way and even has a little bit of a 'balding' spot right up front? I've had hypothyroidism for the last 13 yrs and had lots of hair up till then, but fine. Any suggestions on how to hide that one little spot?
Thanks for sharing the "secret." I bought my self the SRI brush dryer. It is rated in the top 3 dryers for 2022. I was mulling over buying the Dyson curling iron which is like $499! Sooh happy, I made the right decision. I am also going to buy the exfoliator which I will keep a secret from my stylist...
I remember this one European hairstylist give me a zigzag part as a kid and I absolutely loooooved it! I feel like if I'd ever get a zigzag part again people would judge but I'm curious because it actually made me look awesome!
Ay menina, adorei! Learned so much from this video. Obrigada! I just did the zigzag on the side to camouflage my roots. And I tried the opposite parting as well the other day. Worked miracles with the volume but once I started taking selfies I cracked and went back to my regular side. Just felt so weird! A matter of getting used to I guess.
Wonderful! I am glad that you tried it! I can also totally relate to changing the part back after when you were taking pictures. We get used to seeing our face a certain way and it can be so hard to switch what we are used to. My advice is to try it out a few times during casual events (like going out for a dinner with your friends) and see how you feel. If it is an important event or there are a lot of pictures being taken, keep your part the way you usually do so you don't regret it if you don't love it later.
Thank you for taking the time to leave me the feedback Victoria. It really means a lot to me and let’s me know that the content is useful to my community ❤️
I may have to try the zig zag for two reasons…one, to camouflage root growth, and two, I have a cowlick in the front on my hair line along with a indention of hair growth, so it makes it makes it hard to do side parts with out looking funny!
My natural part is in the middle and although many tell me to try a side part for once, it looks super weird on me and one side of their hair looks terribly flat (I guess because my growth starts at the middle). So as much as I want to, I can't seem to rock a side part.
So I always parted my hair on the side, but I usually did so by simply brushinh my hair from top to bottom, then back to front, resulting in two over-the-shoulder sections, resulting in a pig-tail part .... which as I've grown up I've realized is not good for lift at the crown. So something to remember: make a concerted effort to stop your part at the front of the crown and brush the hair down at the back. I've found that this means my side parts ends up curving toward the middle a bit in order to lie nicely.
No matter what I do my hair always wants to fall to the middle and I've tried changing my part for years now. I also wore a middle part for a long time because I didn't think I could change it.
Hola Gabi me acabo de suscribir. Adoro tu dicción!! Te entiendo perfecto y no necesito subtítulos!!! Gracias por los tips!! Tengo cabello ondulado y super fino. Decidi cortarlo hace unos días (media 70 cm) y ahora lo tengo como tu. Llegué a tu canal buscando ideas para peinarlo ya que es algo totalmente nuevo para mi. Cuando intento ponerlo de lado no obtengo nada de volumen. ¿Qué puedo hacer?
Over 20 years ago, Oprah had a hairdresser on her show talking about parting your hair on the opposite side to add volume. So Oprah made all the ladies in her audience get out of their comfort zones and part their flat midday hair to the other side and voila instant oomph. It was crazy the huge difference it made with all these ladies. You could see all their hair just got instant volume. I'll never forgot that image. Ever since that episode, I've been a convert and often change my part throughout the day when it starts to feel flat on one side. That's the only way it feels comfortable for me now, because flat hair feels like helmet hair. Thumbs up if you just parted your hair.
Deep side part/ opposite side part forever, I will never give it up with my big ole nose and super square jawline Might have to give the zig zag a go though 👀
I've been watching your videos & I've learned so much.Thanks! One question 🤔? Have you ever used henna? & could you possibly make a video on it? Like different colors? Because I don't know the first thing about it, & I would like to see what comes out better henna or box dye.
You have the most beautiful hair….fab video for me I have very fine hair should Bob straight cut like you but my hair at the front is so fine you can see my scalp and extra it’s ….x
You’re so sweet. Thanks for your comment. Yes having a strong growth pattern definitely makes changing the part line more of an issue. It’s still possible but you have to style away the cowlick but sometimes it not worth the effort and work.
My naturel hair line doesnt suit me at all and caused me big complexes back in the day. One day I decied to change if for somewhere in the middle, and up to this point I started to like my face and hair a lot more, and basicaly all my style improved allong side. It also made me more confident on trying differents hair cuts as I was more confident with "the base" I had.
Do you have any recommendations for thinning hair in front? I have a natural middle part, but right in front in the middle area it's so thin you can see most of my scalp and the part is super wide. 😭
As someone with naturally fine and pretty thin hair I feel ya on this! Here’s my routine that has really helped. If you’re on well water, get a shower head filter. At bed time I massage a few drops of castor oil along my part and hairline, then bend over and gently brush my hair moving all around my head several times with a good natural boar bristle brush (I count 100 strokes). If I’m not washing the next morning, and my hair looks too oily, I dust a little raw cacao/mushroom powder and then brush it through with a boar bristle brush (same bent over/several strokes method.) If I am washing, I use Mane Choice Heavenly Halo Herbal Tonic shampoo, massaging it in gently and letting it penetrate for a couple minutes. I then condition with either Camille Rose Honey Hydrate Leave-in (which I rinse out) or a Mane Club hair mask (they’re all amazing and only like $3.00 a pack with lasts me three showers.) After trying countless shampoos and conditioners I finally landed on this routine because the ingredients are very natural and contain all the essential oils I’ve read about that promote growth and retention. The other thing I do that has been a huge game changer for me is I found a mineral based eyeshadow that matches my hair color, I use it for my brows and eyeliner, but I started judiciously applying it where I wanted my air to look a bit denser along my hairline and part. One other thing to try that I just learned about is sprouting fenugreek seeds and eating a small amount of the freshly sprouted seeds (equivalent to a teaspoon of seeds) every day for 3 weeks or up to three months at a time. Also making sure you’re getting enough vitamins and minerals, especially D3, K2 (specifically K2 vs K1), A and E.
Hi Gabby, I just found you I’m brand new to your channel and I absolutely love you. This is the information I have been looking for forever and I love the fact that you list everything you use and I’m very interested in that TYMO volumizer, hot air brush, I have a question is the blowout brush and the volumizer brush the same thing or are they two separate things and where can you get that hair spray you talk about and the other products better not younger style boost bundle thank you very much
This was very helpful. Thank you. My question is does it matter where the part is when you get it cut? What’s the best part for a square face? Thanks 😊
Your hair looks so healthy Can you please do a hair care routine the cold winter here really taking a toll on my hair 🤪thanks for all the cool new videos 🥰🥰
Hey Maya! Yes I actually have that as my next video to make! Stay tuned! I recently got a lot of highlights so my hair actually has loads of damage but I know how to repair it enough that it looks great. I will teach you how :)
I’m actually considering this but I would have to wait until the fall because I am a bridal stylist and I have over 50 wedding parties this year so I am absolutely drowning in work at the moment.
Your hair is beautiful. What color do you do your roots with. I have highlights just like yours from watching your video and they did my roots too light. My natural hair color is about your root color.
The zigzag part is the one I had always going on back in the 90s early 00s... and perhaps not as accentuated but still do it. I dont care if its a trend

Probably because your hair was used to going one way, so flipping it the other way makes it bounce
I can't wait for the middle part trend to end 😂 I have an oblong face so it makes my face look longer and just emphasizes my nose lol
You’re right that it totally does that! It makes noses look longer and really doesn’t flatter oblong faces.
I have the same issue so I have never worn a middle part.
@@GlamGirlGabi can you please do a video on oblong faces best hair do’s? Best style of bangs or no bangs? Thank you! Love your tips!
@@MichelleNovalee I will write it down for you! I will put it on my video list because it is often overlooked and a pretty common face shape!
Yes, my nose!
I have always loved the zig zag part...it gives so much volume and interest to your hair!
It is a super fun part! I hope it makes a comeback in mainstream fashion although if it doesn’t, that’s never stopped me before.

The middle part is iconic. It's been "trending" for centuries, in many different cultures. It's also the most flattering on me.

When I part my hair I do the zigzag part, I find it works best with my thin curly/wavy hair. My hair doesn't care what's trendy apparently. Hopefully the zigzag comes back soon, but if not, I'll still be wearing it.

I always do an opposite off center or deep side part. I have an asymmetrical face as well as very fine wavy hair that tends to be flat at the roots and poofy at the ends. Opposite side part is the best thing that works.
Tengo el mismo problema con mi pelo fino. Voy a probar tu consejo.
My hair dresser for 9 years asks me every time which way I part my hair. I show her. She Always does it on the opposite side! Every single time. A ywar ago, I just gave up and just showed her the way she ends up doing it anyway. She is so very good with my hair and that’s so hard to find, so I can get over this one flaw. She is awesome
So glad this video popped up! I have fine, thin long hair, a few layers, and I am totally going to try the opposite side part.😬😬😬😬
Let me know how it goes! I bet you will get loads of volume.
I learned so much from this video! Your hair really looked great with each and every part you tried!
I have always parted my hair in the middle. It is also where my hair naturally parts. I also have a cowlick right in the middle of my hair in front. I use the curling iron to make my cowlick lay the way I want it to lay. It only takes a minute to do and it's the way I've always done it.
Amazing! God sent me a hair angel! Thank you so much for your expertise. Loving the lessons you're teaching. I can feel my confidence building with every video I watch.
I'm going to try the zigzag. I spent most of my life with my hair parted in the middle. Then about 10 years ago, I started parting it on my right. When I get my hair cut, I am always asked why I don't part of the left (collic? on right), but it feels more natural on the right to me. When I try a left part, my hair wants to fall forward into my face like its trying to get back to where it should be lol. Great video!
I love all the tips!! I typically do the low side part but I think I may try alternating it to the other side. I can’t wait to see how it looks!!! You always have the most helpful and immediate ideas for us to try!!! Thanks for such great content!!!
Thanks Traci! I’m really glad that you’re finding the content useful. That’s super important to me. Try the opposite side part and see what you think. The volume really is unbelievable and the best part is that it doesn’t drop.
@@GlamGirlGabi OMG, I tried it before bed last night and that is how I’m wearing my hair today!!! I am one of those try things with my hair before bed to see if I can recreate a look or a technique. The volume is amazing and it actually looks better compared to when it’s parted on the other side. Great tip!!
@@traciewarren1070 yaaaaay!!! That is awesome to hear!!! It’s so simple but makes even more of a difference then a haircut, right? So happy!
Love your channel! I've used zig-zag parts for must be 20 + years. I have fine flat, straight hair and a long rectangular face. I use the left-hand side part because my right side hair is thinner and also the right side of my face has dropped more than the left, so I like to hide it. Middle parts look ok but not sure at age 57 that it's right, it looks a little raggy x
I haven't been able to part my hair in the middle since 1972 when I had a head injury that at the time required shaving about a half dollar sized patch right in front just above the hairline in the middle of my head. The skin was too thin for stitches ( it split open ) so they butterfly bandaged it. I had to side part my hair to cover up the grow out which was awkward & I've had a half inch white scar just above my hairline right between the eyebrows ever since. But guess where my hair naturally wants to part most of the time--the middle or slightly off side. I always have to tell stylists/hairdressers that I don't ever part my hair in the middle, at least not in the front. And I do switch which side/how deep/straight it gets parted pretty frequently to get volume or just to switch it up.
I usually do my natural side, but you're 100% right that I get more volume doing the other. I'm just so OCD it feels too strange. Lol.
I did tho zig zag when in and tbh really liked it.
Yes some people can’t get around the opposite side part feeling! It can feel “off”. I totally get that. And yay for the zigzag part! I love it too. It’s so fun and interesting and so good for blending out roots that need to be dyed.
That’s not ocd
Hi Gabi, thanks for talking about layers. I've been doing layers forever and only because my hair stylist said it would make my hair thicker. Ugh! I'm going to make a change by doing the straight cut and taking out a couple inches. Another thing would you prefer the Tymo blow dryer, or the skin research institute blow dryer for thin long hair?
Can you demo how to take out Velcro rollers. I roll them in smoothly but removing them seems to put stress on my fragile fine hair. Btw I bought the rollers recently on your recommendation. Love your videos.
Yes! I will add that to my video list. I have had a lot of questions about that recently. I will make a video about it.
I'm rocking a side part right now (and I tried your roller setting the middle trick and it works SO WELL!) but I LIIIIIVED for a zig-zag part growing up 😁 Maybe I'll give it a go again. Thanks for the great video!
Yay!! I am so happy to hear that the middle part subsection trick worked for you! Honestly, I think the zigzag part is so cool and it really does soften the roots if you have any. It just adds a little spice to a normal style.
Hi Gabi, love your channel! Can you do a video on how to cut one’s hair in long layers, and how to cut the length? Thanks!
Such a good and educational video all I can say to you is thank you, know this you are amazing and I am always learning so much from you, your the best ever!
A blunt bob cut that was parted in the middle is really smart!
I have a bob haircut, but it’s growing out, so I was looking more into getting a more blunt cut this time around.
I played with my hair part really just at home because one side is longer. I’ll try out getting it cut with my hair divided in the middle. I just avoided it because middle parts look bad on me, but I’ve been more interested in hairstyles recently. 😊
When the part is off to the side , as you are wearing, my eye automatically drops back down to the smile on the face.
I do not take a second look at the smile with bangs or a middle part, and that is a subconscious thing I never realized before.
Celebrities may prefer bangs or a middle part to duck cameras by putting on sun glasses. I really never noticed before.
When the part is to the side, the diagonal shape on the forehead also plays a neat trick as your brain draws vertical lines from the edge of your cheeks and lips to verify there is a diagonal shape there.
In other words it makes a smile glow parting to one side, especially with volume added layers on top, pony tail styles also make the smile glow.
I think forcing the person looking at you without them knowing it, figuring out how that smile is accented by the style is just cool.
I don't want to say any woman looks bad in bangs or a middle part, I just don't see anyone talking about redirection to the smile, all I see is confusing (to me) face shape discussions.
Thank you for the awesome ideas. This is a great video. I'm experimenting tomorrow!
I really want the zig zag part to get popular again it’s so fun and I love seeing it
Thanks for creating this I really enjoy your videos. Very informative... I think I'm going to venture from the middle and go into those other parts. 😄😊
a friend of mine suggested I zigzag my part to help hide sporadic grey growth. somehow I managed to expose every section of grey 😆. It took quite a few tries to avoid the gray patches!
Really great video! You packed a lot of info into this in such an easy to listen to/absorb style! I woke up with a zig zag the other day and really, really liked it! Now I'm trying to recreate that natural, slept-in look that is so flattering and cute😗
That's my problem. I wake up with my part looking good and I can't for the life of me intentionally recreate it.
@@YourResidentPersonWhoDoesStuff hair is finicky like that lol I've never been able to recreate it either =/
I'm going to try the zigzag part. One issue you didn't mention widow's peak. It also makes middle parts challenging!
You’re right! They are a challenge for sure. Try a middle part that’s slightly off center. That should work.
Thank you so much! I was going to get my hair cut before watching this video.
I change my part all the time it actually makes my Scalp feel better . Love to wear my hair back yet unfortunately My hairline is receding. Tension alapicia is layering my hair; I love ponytails It's a good way to corral my curls I can get a beautiful sleek Style. At once there's moisture in the air it just gets curly. And in the summertime wearing curls is like having a wool blanket on my head. Yet like you said a part can make even a ponytail look interesting and I'm very fortunate I got a facial structure that can handle a severe hairstyle such as a ponytail.
Gabi I always love your vlogs. I would love to ask what would be the best part for more mature women or women who have a little bit of a double chin? I have always had a small double chin and try never to put my hair behind my ears because I am very conscious it may not always look appealing or attractive. Thanks Gabi! 🌹
Hi! I'm not a pro but do have some experience (went to school for cosmetology but didn't/couldn't graduate because of my disability, unfortunately). My thoughts: avoid the middle part - it's like curtains, putting what's between on display & anything that isn't "perfect" will be more noticeable. The other two - zig-zag & side parts - are better options. Another thing not mentioned in the video - some people look better with no part, hair styled to go up & back. Try different parts & take photos. It's easier to judge than looking in a mirror & is the best way (IMHO) to decide for yourself. I would talk to your preferred hairdresser about your cut, also. Like the part, some cuts emphasize certain problem areas more than others. Hope I helped, in some small way. Have a good day!
@@V-Mac00 Thanks. I cannot afford a stylist especially now in this horrible economy in the US. I have done my own hair cutting and styling consistently since I was 15. Taught myself, books, tutorials now RUclips. I’m a little sad Gabby did not come back to check comments but people have a life and she gave her tips.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I agree and pretty much have done what you suggest. I think middle parts no matter how well done are harsh on a mature face. There may be an exception to the rule but I am not one of those exceptions!
As we age we are not as pretty or attractive so having great hair can make up a lot for the rest. If they love your hair they won’t focus on your aging imho. Thanks again! 🌸
Great video! Just my opinion, but I don’t think center parts ever look good on anyone. And especially not men. Our faces are already so symmetrical. Even moreso for anyone whom wears eyeglasses. Too, the longer a person’s hair is, the worse a center part looks. Off-center or side parts break up that symmetry, and make the face much more interesting.
Dang I can't wait for my hair to grow out! I tried to do this cut and got scissor happy haha! Still, enjoying it and will try these parts!
Learnt something new today , looking forward to trying out new styles 😊
Changing my part to the left side felt uncomfortable at first but it really helped balance my asymmetrical face...funny thing was when i first did it i got so many compliments.. the eye really likes symmetry
Yes!!! It does totally feel uncomfortable but it’s amazing how it can completely change the balance and perspective of the face.
Hi Gabi,
Love this tutorial, and your hair!!
Any tips on hair growth, especially if I'm seeing balding spots?
Wow, who knew that so much information went into hair parts🤷.... You did such a great job explaining each one and with visual examples! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Love the color of your hair btw and you're gorgeous so any style would look great.
What would you say to someone in their late 50s who's been parting their hair the same way and even has a little bit of a 'balding' spot right up front? I've had hypothyroidism for the last 13 yrs and had lots of hair up till then, but fine. Any suggestions on how to hide that one little spot?
oh my gosh i Bob my hair last month and now I’m seeing it everywhere 🤩
Welcome to the bob club!
Thanks for sharing the "secret." I bought my self the SRI brush dryer. It is rated in the top 3 dryers for 2022. I was mulling over buying the Dyson curling iron which is like $499! Sooh happy, I made the right decision. I am also going to buy the exfoliator which I will keep a secret from my stylist...
Thank you I know this videos a year old but it was very explanatory I enjoyed it on how you can slip your hair in many ways .
I remember this one European hairstylist give me a zigzag part as a kid and I absolutely loooooved it! I feel like if I'd ever get a zigzag part again people would judge but I'm curious because it actually made me look awesome!
Do it girl!!! There are no rules when it comes to hair. Try it out and see how you like it!
Every style looks beautiful on your face!!
Aaw Marla that is so sweet of you to say. Thank you ❤️
Ay menina, adorei! Learned so much from this video. Obrigada! I just did the zigzag on the side to camouflage my roots. And I tried the opposite parting as well the other day. Worked miracles with the volume but once I started taking selfies I cracked and went back to my regular side. Just felt so weird! A matter of getting used to I guess.
Wonderful! I am glad that you tried it! I can also totally relate to changing the part back after when you were taking pictures. We get used to seeing our face a certain way and it can be so hard to switch what we are used to. My advice is to try it out a few times during casual events (like going out for a dinner with your friends) and see how you feel. If it is an important event or there are a lot of pictures being taken, keep your part the way you usually do so you don't regret it if you don't love it later.
I keep hearing about Y2K hair coming back so you are so right about zigzag!
Just loving all your tutorials. Giving me some confidence to try something new. Thank you for taking the time and energy to make this video😍
Thank you for taking the time to leave me the feedback Victoria. It really means a lot to me and let’s me know that the content is useful to my community ❤️
your videos are the best and most informative on youtube!
I love a good side part along with a side eye. 💕 Loved this video
Thank you! I learned SOOO Much. I really like your hair color in this segment. Deeper than I have seen you wear. Can you explain what color I see?
I may have to try the zig zag for two reasons…one, to camouflage root growth, and two, I have a cowlick in the front on my hair line along with a indention of hair growth, so it makes it makes it hard to do side parts with out looking funny!
Your hair is such a gorgeous color!
I just love watching you! Thank you for being you!
Aaaw Nancy your messages make my day!! Thank you for supporting me!!
My natural part is in the middle and although many tell me to try a side part for once, it looks super weird on me and one side of their hair looks terribly flat (I guess because my growth starts at the middle). So as much as I want to, I can't seem to rock a side part.
Gabi you are SO gorgeous! TYFS Cindy
So I always parted my hair on the side, but I usually did so by simply brushinh my hair from top to bottom, then back to front, resulting in two over-the-shoulder sections, resulting in a pig-tail part .... which as I've grown up I've realized is not good for lift at the crown. So something to remember: make a concerted effort to stop your part at the front of the crown and brush the hair down at the back. I've found that this means my side parts ends up curving toward the middle a bit in order to lie nicely.
No matter what I do my hair always wants to fall to the middle and I've tried changing my part for years now. I also wore a middle part for a long time because I didn't think I could change it.
I still use the zigzag part sometimes. It’s fun, changes things up.
Hola Gabi me acabo de suscribir. Adoro tu dicción!! Te entiendo perfecto y no necesito subtítulos!!! Gracias por los tips!! Tengo cabello ondulado y super fino. Decidi cortarlo hace unos días (media 70 cm) y ahora lo tengo como tu. Llegué a tu canal buscando ideas para peinarlo ya que es algo totalmente nuevo para mi. Cuando intento ponerlo de lado no obtengo nada de volumen. ¿Qué puedo hacer?
Over 20 years ago, Oprah had a hairdresser on her show talking about parting your hair on the opposite side to add volume. So Oprah made all the ladies in her audience get out of their comfort zones and part their flat midday hair to the other side and voila instant oomph. It was crazy the huge difference it made with all these ladies. You could see all their hair just got instant volume. I'll never forgot that image. Ever since that episode, I've been a convert and often change my part throughout the day when it starts to feel flat on one side. That's the only way it feels comfortable for me now, because flat hair feels like helmet hair. Thumbs up if you just parted your hair.
Deep side part/ opposite side part forever, I will never give it up with my big ole nose and super square jawline
Might have to give the zig zag a go though 👀
Where can we buy YOUR comb. What brow color or product are u using . Looks amazing.
I am looking for a hot air styling brush for fine, thin hair. Any recommendations? I'm really enjoying your videos!
Yes! I love the Revlon one, the Amika one and the one by Drybar. All three work exceptionally well.
I also have fine, thin hair. I want to use a heat brush, but I’m afraid it might be too damaging?
Thank you so much for getting back to me!
@@debbie1966 i have heard people say they had a lot of damage but I’ve never had an issue with mine and I use it after every single time I shower.
@@GlamGirlGabi Ok. Thanks! I guess it all depends on proper technique, I’m sure.
I've been watching your videos & I've learned so much.Thanks! One question 🤔? Have you ever used henna? & could you possibly make a video on it? Like different colors? Because I don't know the first thing about it, & I would like to see what comes out better henna or box dye.
Middle part for 20 years now. So every couple of years I come back in style lol
You have the most beautiful hair….fab video for me I have very fine hair should Bob straight cut like you but my hair at the front is so fine you can see my scalp and extra it’s ….x
You seem sooo nice. Love this video.. I've always wanted to wear my hair in the middle but i have a strong growth pattern thats on the side :(
You’re so sweet. Thanks for your comment. Yes having a strong growth pattern definitely makes changing the part line more of an issue. It’s still possible but you have to style away the cowlick but sometimes it not worth the effort and work.
The bob and color suits you so good! I have the same hair 🤣👍💖
I do a zigzag part on the side and it makes my hair look fuller.
My naturel hair line doesnt suit me at all and caused me big complexes back in the day. One day I decied to change if for somewhere in the middle, and up to this point I started to like my face and hair a lot more, and basicaly all my style improved allong side. It also made me more confident on trying differents hair cuts as I was more confident with "the base" I had.
That is gorgeous on you with the deep side part!!! You have a gorgeous face!!!!
Thats so sweet! Thank you for your comment ❤️
Do you have any recommendations for thinning hair in front? I have a natural middle part, but right in front in the middle area it's so thin you can see most of my scalp and the part is super wide. 😭
As someone with naturally fine and pretty thin hair I feel ya on this! Here’s my routine that has really helped. If you’re on well water, get a shower head filter. At bed time I massage a few drops of castor oil along my part and hairline, then bend over and gently brush my hair moving all around my head several times with a good natural boar bristle brush (I count 100 strokes). If I’m not washing the next morning, and my hair looks too oily, I dust a little raw cacao/mushroom powder and then brush it through with a boar bristle brush (same bent over/several strokes method.) If I am washing, I use Mane Choice Heavenly Halo Herbal Tonic shampoo, massaging it in gently and letting it penetrate for a couple minutes. I then condition with either Camille Rose Honey Hydrate Leave-in (which I rinse out) or a Mane Club hair mask (they’re all amazing and only like $3.00 a pack with lasts me three showers.) After trying countless shampoos and conditioners I finally landed on this routine because the ingredients are very natural and contain all the essential oils I’ve read about that promote growth and retention. The other thing I do that has been a huge game changer for me is I found a mineral based eyeshadow that matches my hair color, I use it for my brows and eyeliner, but I started judiciously applying it where I wanted my air to look a bit denser along my hairline and part. One other thing to try that I just learned about is sprouting fenugreek seeds and eating a small amount of the freshly sprouted seeds (equivalent to a teaspoon of seeds) every day for 3 weeks or up to three months at a time. Also making sure you’re getting enough vitamins and minerals, especially D3, K2 (specifically K2 vs K1), A and E.
Gr8 tips for volumizing fine hair 👍😎😘
Hi Gabby, I just found you I’m brand new to your channel and I absolutely love you. This is the information I have been looking for forever and I love the fact that you list everything you use and I’m very interested in that TYMO volumizer, hot air brush, I have a question is the blowout brush and the volumizer brush the same thing or are they two separate things and where can you get that hair spray you talk about and the other products better not younger style boost bundle thank you very much
This was very helpful. Thank you. My question is does it matter where the part is when you get it cut? What’s the best part for a square face? Thanks 😊
When I was young I always had a middle part. Now I like a side part.
What hairdryer did you use? With a brush attached
Your hair looks so healthy Can you please do a hair care routine the cold winter here really taking a toll on my hair 🤪thanks for all the cool new videos 🥰🥰
Hey Maya! Yes I actually have that as my next video to make! Stay tuned! I recently got a lot of highlights so my hair actually has loads of damage but I know how to repair it enough that it looks great. I will teach you how :)
Going to try the opposite side part tomorrow! 💕
Loved this video!!! I would love to have a comb like yours that parts really well. Do you mind sharing the brand? Thank you so much!!! 🥰
Do you ever do online consultations, telling people what haircut/color would look best on them?
I’m actually considering this but I would have to wait until the fall because I am a bridal stylist and I have over 50 wedding parties this year so I am absolutely drowning in work at the moment.
Any ideas for parts in people with thinning hair
Kindly share your hair cut tutorial ....
Thanks Gabi ~ a great video to start the week!
You're so welcome. I’m happy to know that you enjoyed this one.
Another amazing video. Only you can bring such insight into something like a part in one's hair and make it an interesting, helpful video. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching Anna and for such a sweet comment. It really means a lot to me.
Your hair is beautiful. What color do you do your roots with. I have highlights just like yours from watching your video and they did my roots too light. My natural hair color is about your root color.
Love, love your hair style and your decorations!!
Thanks so much Ruth! I’ve had a lot of questions on my haircut so I will try to make a video about it soon!
@@GlamGirlGabi Awesome!!!
The zigzag part is the one I had always going on back in the 90s early 00s... and perhaps not as accentuated but still do it. I dont care if its a trend
Thanks for showing me the right way... love from Greece sweet girl
Sending a hug from Canada over to you in Greece! 😘
Great insightful video, thank you!
