Seitenscheitels

Seitenscheitel is a German term that translates to "side part" in English and refers to a hairstyle where the hair is combed to one side of the head, creating a distinct parting. This style is characterized by the hair being swept over from a line that begins either above or near the temple, extending towards the back of the head. The opposite side of the head typically displays more volume or is styled to contrast with the side with the part.

The side part has been a prevalent hairstyle across various cultures and time periods. Its versatility allows it to be adapted to different hair lengths and textures, from short, neat styles to longer, more flowing looks. Historically, it has been associated with formality and a clean, polished appearance, often seen in professional settings or during formal occasions.

Contemporary interpretations of the side part can range from classic and understated to more contemporary and edgy. It can be combined with other styling techniques such as slicking back, texturizing, or creating waves. The depth and position of the side part can significantly alter the overall aesthetic of a hairstyle, offering a subtle yet impactful way to change one's look. It remains a popular choice for both men and women seeking a refined and adaptable hairstyle.
