Side Part Hairstyles: 13 Celebrities Bringing Back the Side Part

It seems like just yesterday when TikTok declared the side part dead, but if Instagram is any indication, the style has definitely made a comeback. Side-part hairstyles have recently appeared on all of our favorite celebs, from the Kardashian-Jenner family to Megan Thee Stallion. Once deemed outdated by Gen Z, the side part has been popping up everywhere on the red carpet for its romantic side-swept look and versatility. Locs and braids, wavy and curly—a side part makes any hairstyle look good.

Kim Kardashian has been one of the biggest influences in the side-part renaissance and put a millennial twist on her style with a slicked-back look at the CFDA awards. Similarly, Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian have taken a page out of their sister’s beauty book, recently wearing similar side parts.

According to Jennifer Korab, owner of Renaissance Salon, there are a few products essential to styling a side part. “One of my favorites is using a volumizing mousse like Pureology Weightless Mousse or Kerastase Desifique. When styling your side part on wet hair, the mouse will help hold your style in place and also will help add some volume to the style.”

Celebrity hairstylist Jamie Wiley also suggests using Pureology’s Levitation Mist. “When styling a side part, I like to set it moving back and away from the face with a large Velcro roller. Using Levitation Mist at the base lift the hair with a flat brush and round brush on the ends. Set the hair on a large Velcro roller until it is cool. This will give lift at the base and that perfect swoop moving back into the hairstyle.”
