How to do a diagonal part in hair?

Published in Hair styling 2 mins read

Doing a diagonal part in your hair involves carefully separating a section of hair from one side of your forehead to the opposite side of your head at an angle, rather than straight down the middle or side.

The provided reference mentions being "very very very very very careful" when parting the hair. Unfortunately, it doesn't give specific steps, but we can infer the process focuses on precision.

Here's a general approach to create a diagonal part:

  1. Start with damp or dry hair: It's easier to create a clean part when your hair isn't soaking wet.

  2. Determine your desired angle: Decide how dramatic you want the diagonal to be. A shallower angle will be closer to a side part, while a steeper angle will be more angled.

  3. Choose your starting point: Typically, you'll start at a point near the front of your hairline, such as near the corner of your forehead.

  4. Use a comb to create the part: Use the point of a comb to carefully draw a line from your starting point diagonally back to the opposite side of your head. Aim for a clean, straight line. Take your time.

  5. Smooth and refine: Once you've created the initial part, use the comb to smooth the hair on either side, ensuring a neat and defined part.

  6. Style as desired: Style your hair according to the look you want to achieve with your new diagonal part.
