side part

Off-center hair line

A side part is a hairstyle where the hair is divided along a line off-center, with more hair falling to one side than the other.

The term gained cultural attention in the early 2020s when younger generations associated side parts with millennials, briefly making them a generational marker: Gen Z says side parts are out.
