Update Your Middle Part With This Chic Runway Trick

Simple and nuanced yet delivering polished glamour in spades, the middle part gets an update with a double ear tuck.

“The beauty of this style is that it can be adapted to suit all hair types,” says hairstylist and Evo creative director Lauren McCowan.

“It’s such a beautiful, classic look that it can be worn every day or for special occasions.”

Start with freshly washed hair blow-dried smooth. Using a fine-tooth comb, part strands straight down the centre of your head, then tuck behind ears and secure with pins.

If cowlicks or curls prevent a sleek result, run a straightener lightly over the roots to mid-lengths. Add movement through the ends by taking a curling wand to random hair segments. Set the style with a strong-hold hairspray.

For a glossy finish McCowan suggests spritzing with a shine enhancer, such as Evo’s Love Touch Shine Spray. “It helps to protect from humidity and fights frizz.”
