By now, we\u2019re convinced Amal has never had a bad hair<\/a> day. Her long, chocolate-brown<\/a> locks were blow-dried to sleek perfection, but it was the subtle side parting that truly crowned the look by adding instant lift and volume.<\/p>\n It\u2019s this small detail that top hairstylists tell us can make the biggest difference \u2014 even on fine, mature hair<\/a>. \u2018When it comes to adding that illusion of thickness, a slightly off-centre parting is good, and much more modern than a deep side part,\u2019 says mdLondon founder<\/a> Michael Douglas<\/a>. <\/p>\n He explains, \u2018hair tends to ‘bend’ in a different way when you move the parting, even if it’s just shifted a fraction, so it will sit less flat to the head. It’s great for getting lift at the root.\u2019 Having it placed only a little to the side \u2018also avoids you looking like you have loads of hair one side, and only a small amount the other,\u2019 he adds \u2013 something you definitely don\u2019t want if you\u2019re older and your hair is thinner.<\/p>\n Courtesy of DimitrisHair<\/p>\n The right styling products also work hand in hand with a parting switch up. \u2018I’d also advise using a texturising spray when you’re moving a parting, to shape it but also to put in a bit of oomph,\u2019 says Michael.

Hair pros say a side parting can also cleverly work to enhance your best features, all while subtly disguising areas you’d rather not draw attention to. As Michael explains, \u2018most women think they have a \u2018good\u2019 side to their face, and a side parting allows your hair to fall so that more of that side is on show.\u2019<\/p>\n Beyond shape-shifting magic, a side part adds an undeniable red-carpet polish to any look \u2014 as Amal proves. \u2018A side parting is a lot more glamorous than a middle parting,\u2019 explains celebrity hairdresser Gustav Fouche<\/a>. \u2018It opens the face up and also gives the facial outline a lot more definition,\u2019 he says. \u2018If we look at Amal, her facial shape is quite oblong\/oval which definitely helps with this hairstyle,\u2019 he explains. \u2018She looks gorgeous.\u2019<\/p>\n It\u2019s safe to say we\u2019ve been convinced. So, if you\u2019re also ready to part (sorry) with your middle parting, consider this your sign to give a side sweep a try. <\/p>\n While Amal has a glam-squad on dial, it\u2019s easy to achieve at home. \u2018Create your new parting when your hair is wet,\u2019 advises top hairstylist Tom Smith<\/a>. \u2018That way, your hair is set in place before it starts to dry and fall back to its usual memory.\u2019<\/p>\n It\u2019s the easiest volume boost you’ll ever try.<\/p>\n![\"amal](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1c1d868e-2403-4f71-86c0-4ba9584b93b5.png\" "\\"amal")
