How to Get Rid of a Middle Part In Your Hair

The first thing you need to do is establish what your hair’s growth pattern really is. This is easiest to do if you have shorter hair.

If you have long hair, then get a friend or family member to help you out so that they can help you to determine what the natural growth pattern is.

All you have to do is take a really close look at the crown of your scalp. Take note of how the hair pattern emerges in its preferred direction of growth.

Doing this will only work with dry hair.

If you still can’t figure it out, then find a hairdresser, who will be able to help you assess the situation.

In general, it is easier to work with the natural growth pattern of your hair, which will determine where your hair falls, separates, and parts naturally. This will also be determined by your hair’s texture and weight.

Wash and Comb

The easiest and best way to start training your hair to get rid of a middle parting is to wash it. That’s because after you wash your hair, it is the easiest to manage and most dynamic, especially after detangling it, and while it is still damp.

So, part your damp hair (at most towel-dried) with a pintail comb , which is the type of comb that hairdressers use to part and section your hair when you go to the salon.

With the pintail comb, part your hair to the side that you prefer, or you can even do it in a funky zig-zag pattern for some fun.

When you part your hair to the side repeatedly after washing it, soon it will get used to the new side parting and won’t fall as much in the middle.

If you don’t want to have any parting at all, then simply comb your hair straight back from your forehead. You may need to hold it back in a ponytail or with a headband to keep the natural part from making an appearance.

Gel It Up

Hair styling gels (we love simple gels like aloe and flaxseed) and waxes can be used to add more structure to your hair and help to keep a new parting in its place.

These styling products will work especially well on shorter hair, so if you have longer hair, then you might want to add some accessories to help you keep your new parting right where you want it to be.
