Why people are split
Side part loyalists say it adds volume and frames the face, and they're tired of hearing it makes them look old. Middle part fans like the symmetry and the low effort, and for a lot of them it's simply what looks right.

FAQ
Does a middle part make you look younger?
It's a style call, not a rule. Face shape, hair texture and styling matter more than which side the part is on.
How do you switch your part?
Part it the new way while your hair is wet and blow dry it in place. It can take a week or two to settle.
