Did you know that a cowlick can work to your advantage? A lot of the time people will try to fight it and get it to lie down. But you can actually work with it, parting your hair on the side of your cowlick to add instant volume! Finish your look with some tousled waves for a voluptuous style.
A deep side part style is a deeper division in the hair, which is a few inches distant from your natural parting.
Amber Wishart is a stylist and salon owner from Barrington, IL who’s happy to share her ultimate tip of matching your part with your face shape and facial symmetry.
“Side parts can help even out face asymmetry and create great volume on top. This style is perfect for women wanting to create more height or length in their face,” says Wishart.
Have fun playing around with your part. Switch sides to carry out a completely different vibe. However, don’t overdo changing your part to avoid creating stress on your locks.
Get a little help with some styling products to achieve an appealing look. Wishart suggests using a root volumizer and hairspray to help enhance the style.
Hair trends come and go, but what’s significant is that you look and feel your best. Wishart points out that “if you’d love to try a side part, go for it!”
Go, talk to your hairdresser to acquire a professional opinion. Here are some inspiring photos of the most popular deep side part hairstyles you gotta try.
#1: Very Choppy Bob with a Very Deep Side Part
The very choppy bob with a deep side part is an impressive hairstyle. It offers the perfect blend of trendiness and sophistication. If your hair is thick and wavy, avoid this particular style, as it can be difficult to manage. However, this cut offers structure and movement for those with fine or straight hair. Ask your stylist for layers that start near the crown of the head. Layers help to create an even more voluminous style.
#2: Side Flip with Bangs
Consider a side flip with bangs. Ask for a layered haircut with lots of slicing and texture to create a soft feminine look. You can flip your hair to either side to create body and movement. Be aware that by flipping your part, you may have much more layers on one side. This will create an asymmetrical layer.
#3: Long Brown Balayage Hair with a Deep Side Part
If you want to ensure your long, brown balayage hair looks its best, ask for a deep side part and sweeping bangs. This style works best for those with longer face shapes or high foreheads. The balayage technique gives the hair a natural-looking effect. And it adds dimension and movement to your locks. To style, apply a heat-protectant spray to your hair, then use a curling iron to create beachy waves. Finish with a hairspray to set the style and maintain its shape throughout the day.
#4: Pink Blonde Long Hair
If you want to switch up your traditional blonde, pink-blonde long hair may be just the thing for you. I suggest using a semi-permeant toning line like Redken shades Eq for optimum results. I love the “Gro” (gold rose) series for a soft champagne pink. I love these options because they fade softly and allow you to shift your blonde hair with little to no damage. Try a pigmented-colored mask at home, like Moroccan Oils Color Depositing Mask in the shade Rose Gold.
#5: Blonde Waves with Sweeping Bangs
Blonde waves with swiping bangs are elegant and perfect for any wedding hairstyle. Use a smaller curling iron to create a vintage-inspired wave. I love the T3 Singlepass Curl 1″. To keep the style classic, be sure to set your hair with a strong-hold hairspray. This sometimes can result in a stiff-like appearance. If you layer a shine spray on top, it can soften the look without compromising the hold.
#6: Voluminous Mid-Length Hairstyle with a Deep Side Part
Ready for a look that will make you feel like a million bucks? Consider planning to try the voluminous mid-length hairstyle with a deep side part. When you use the right products, this style can create a simple look that looks great on all face shapes. To get this style, plan to use a mousse or gel as you blow dry your hair in sections away from your scalp. Next, you can curl the lengths before using a wide-tooth comb or brush to tease your curls and create volume. Finish with hairspray and enjoy your stylishly chic new look! For best results, I recommend Ouai Heat Protection Spray.
#7: Short Asymmetric Bob with Highlights
The short bob and a deep side part is a great way to give your look a unique and interesting flair. With this hairstyle, you can create dimension and volume with the highlights. Plus, the deep side part gives you the perfect balance. If your forehead is larger, you can also opt for a longer side part to help create an illusion of width. To pull off this look, remember to use a styling product to help hold the shape of the bob. And you can always use a blow dryer to help create more body and texture.
#8: Layered Razor Cut Copper Hair
If you’re looking for a fresh style for a mature woman, a layered razor cut with a deep side part is a great choice. It’s a look that will frame your face and bring out your best features. Consider using a light to medium hold styling product to keep the layers in place. Hairstory’s Dressed Up Heat Protection Lotion is great for just that. To make the cut shine, use a wide-tooth comb to brush it out and give it extra volume.
#9: Heavily Layered Short Hair with a Deep Side Part
If you’d rather keep your hair short, a heavily layered deep side part can be the perfect style for you. Ask for textured layers to help give movement and volume to the look. To make it modern, try to add subtle highlights that frame your face beautifully. This hairstyle is effortless yet stunning, creating a natural but polished look. For an extra professional touch, use hairspray or texture spray after styling. It will help keep each layer separated.
#10: Messy Blonde Side-Parted Bob with Dark Roots
This messy blonde side parted bob with dark roots looks high-fashion without the high maintenance. My advice would be to ask your stylist for a root drop with fresh highlights if it’s your first time. The rooted look allows you to go a little longer in between your highlight appointments. One of the easiest ways to get volume is styling your hair on day two. Having your hair a little dirty and adding some dry shampoo or a volumizing powder will lift those roots right up.
#11: Deep Side-Parted Medium to Long Hairstyle
If you are looking to disguise your large forehead, my advice would be to over-direct your part. The best way to hide your forehead is to add a heavier fringe. This will add shape around your face and shorten your facial shape. The great thing about a side part is that it will still show your cheekbones and jawline. And it gives you a more sophisticated look.
#12: Curled Deeply Side-Parted Hairstyle
This curled deeply side-parted hairstyle is so dreamy. It’s also helpful to anyone who needs a bit more volume to create some big hair! You can use a curling iron to blend a few select curls into your already curly hair. But, be aware of your hair health to maintain your natural texture. Always use a heat protectant!
#13: Deeply Side Parted Blonde Hair with Volume
If you have fine hair, deeply side-parted hair is foolproof when you want to add some extra body to your hair. Apply a thickening mousse like Oribe’s Grandiose Hair Plumping Mousse to towel-dried hair. Blow dry with Revlon’s One Step blow-dry brush for best results.
#14: Mid-Length Caramel Blonde Cut
It can be as simple as a side part if you’re looking for a more sophisticated way to style your hair. This will over-direct your hair. Be aware that going against your natural part can give you more volume. Ask your stylist for their recommendations when styling.
#15: Deeply Side-Parted Bob with Volume
A deeply side-parted bob with volume can truly work for anyone with the right haircut. After you get a haircut that suits your face structure, make sure you blow dry your hair using a heat protectant. Give yourself a deep side part that you are happy with. If you are still lacking volume, my best advice is to apply Eleven’s Dry Finish Texture Spray from roots to ends. It will help your hair achieve your desired lift.
#16: Ash Brown Balayage with a Deep Off-Center Part
The best way to disguise your wider set forehead is to add a side part. This will not only cover a portion of your forehead but will give your fringe a more stacked look. Which looks more seductive with waves. This is the number one way to add volume to your frontal area.
#17: Collarbone-Length Dark Auburn Hair
The collarbone-length dark auburn hair with a deep side part is a stunning hairstyle that will complement your eyes if they are blue or green. When it comes to deciding on what color you should get, permanent or semi-permanent, my advice is to opt for a semi-permanent initially. Both types of dye will fade away but the semi-permanent is less committing.
#18: Deeply Side-Parted Silver-Blonde Messy Hair
Did you know that a cowlick can work to your advantage? A lot of the time people will try to fight it and get it to lie down. But you can actually work with it, parting your hair on the side of your cowlick to add instant volume! Finish your look with some tousled waves for a voluptuous style.
#19: Platinum Mid-Length Hair with a Deep Side Part
Side parts are coming back with a vengeance this season and I am here for it! Keep in mind, if you’re styling with a deep side part, ensure you have enough thickness to go with your style. You’ll want to do this without looking sparse on the one side. It’s helpful to work with a fresh blowout to keep the side part in place and to have a soft volume.
#20: Blonde Asymmetric Pixie
I love the excitement of a blonde asymmetric pixie. If you can support that edgy asymmetrical look, you are perfect for this cut. A deep side part is a must. Always do the side you are parting from shorter, it creates this almost “tucked behind the ear” look. You will definitely turn heads and get many compliments with an asymmetrical pixie.
#21: The Sexiest Long Thick Curls
Want to grow your hair into the sexiest, long thick curls but don’t know where to start? When in doubt, partner with a salon professional. But, do some of your own research and develop a plan together. The biggest advantages are having a routine for to you and someone to help you achieve your goals.
#22: Voluminous Light Blonde Long Hair
Ask for voluminous light blonde long hair. You may be able to get some volume with a middle part, but one of the easiest ways to achieve volume is to switch to a deep side part. A deep side part will give your hair much more volume and lift. In case you didn’t know, velcro rollers are a great tool to use to obtain volume. Use the velcro rollers on dry hair, then use a hairdryer to heat the rollers up. After using the hairdryer, wait for your hair to be completely cool, remove the rollers, and now you have long-lasting volume.
#23: Red Shaggy Asymmetrical Cut
Try a red shaggy asymmetrical cut if you want an edgy hairstyle that will reflect your bold personality. Avoid cutting the back too short until you know what length you want on the longer side of your asymmetrical cut and how dramatic of an angle you want your new haircut to have. This is one of the best transformative haircuts you can do if you have longer hair.
#24: Deep Side Part and Tousled Loose Waves
A deep side part and tousled loose waves breathe a lived-in style yet, remains luxurious when styled up in a ponytail or left out with volume. These can be created with a 1″ to a 1 1/2″ curling wand and heat protection spray like Chi Enviro 54, starting from the top, curling horizontally to the head, and pinning in place. After 20 minutes of cooling down, using a natural bristle brush, brush them out lightly and mist them with a hairspray for hold.
#25: Deep-Parted Curly Bob for Black Ladies
A deep-parted curly bob is for black ladies looking for an easier wash day. This length is realistic to maintain and not live constantly in a bun. Allow your stylist to evaluate your face shape and curl pattern to customize the best haircut for you.
#26: Chin-Length Brunette Bob
Look stunning with a brunette bob. A classic bob is always in style and comes with very little upkeep. Your hair will appear thicker and fuller with a chin-length cut. A side part will soften your facial features and give your hair an airy, tousled look.
#27: Short Bob with Blonde Highlights
If your hair has lost its pigment (becomes grey) and you want to update your look, the best way to do that is to add some of the lost pigment back in. I often encourage my clients to stay grey if they’re comfortable with it. However, adding some color back in and leaving a few lighter pieces around the front is a huge transformation.
#28: Mid-Length Long Bob with a Side Part
A bob is very flattering and can be customized specifically to your face shape and hair texture. Bobs are always in style and are easily managed. Adding a side part will give the cut a more tousled look and help soften your facial features. Add some waves to show off your texture and add body.
#29: Balayage Highlights on Deep Side-Parted Hair
We love balayage highlights on deep side-parted hair. The style exudes sexiness and confidence and helps add much volume to your hair. If you can do something as easy as a deep side part to add volume, why not? The best advice I can give to women not used to a side part is to try inching your way away from the middle part slowly over time to get accustomed to it.
#30: Naturally Curly Medium-Length Hair
When you have naturally curly hair a medium-length cut is ideal because it’s long enough to not be too bouncy around your face while still being short enough to keep the volume at your roots. You can easily style your hair by combing through conditioner in the shower and only rinsing out halfway to help keep moisture in. Then, add your favorite styling products to very wet hair and use a diffuser to style. Remember to get a trim every three months to keep your hair healthy and in shape.
#31: Side-Parted Asymmetrical Medium Cut on Thin Hair
A side-parted asymmetrical medium cut on thin hair allows for style wearability with varying hairdos like smooth locs or tousled tress. Thinner densities can secure their styles with an aid like Chi’s “Enviro 54,” which comes in “Natural” & “Firm” formulas that protect against heat while having the qualities of hairspray for lasting hold.
#32: Neck-Length Curly Bob with a Side Part
A neck-length curly bob with a side part is a great way to create body and volume for hair that generally lays limp or lacks in density. The deep side part on curly hair gives an asymmetrical silhouette that supports more texture to allude to volume.
Even hair that has a ton of density can benefit from the detailed styling of displacing weight from one side to another. However, the length of the perimeter can be customized to the natural hairline of the wearer.
#33: Deep Side Part on Short Thick Hair
A deep side part on short thick hair helps to diffuse the density while allowing for style flexibility. Haircuts with a deep side part also help accent a woman’s “favorite side” yet, can be customized for wearability on both sides.

#37: Deep Side Part Long Bob with Waves
