middle part

Between the ends

A middle part is a hairstyle where the hair is divided down the center of the head, creating symmetrical sections on either side.

The style cycles in and out of fashion—associated with the 1970s, then returning in the 2020s as Gen Z rejected the side parts favored by millennials: She switched to a middle part and it completely changed her face.
