The parted scissor haircut is a classic hairstyle where the hair is parted on the right or left side of the head. The length of the hair can vary from short to medium, with the top left long enough to style. If desired, layers can be cut into the top of the hair for added texture and movement. The sides can be tapered or scissor-cut to complement the longer top while maintaining a neat, clean look.
Towel dry hair. Apply a light cream or leave-in conditioner that enhances curls and controls frizz. Using your fingers, part the hair to one side, keeping the curls natural and voluminous. Blow dry with a diffuser on low heat to maintain curl shape and add volume. Finish with a light oil or serum to add shine and control frizz.
Towel dry hair. Apply a light to medium hold pomade or gel for a sleek, structured look. Using a fine-tooth comb, create a sharp part and style the hair to one side. Blow dry your hair with medium heat, lifting at the roots to create volume. Finish with a light mist of hairspray to secure your look.
Towel dry hair. Apply a lightweight mousse or cream to enhance waves and provide a light hold. Use a comb to part the hair to one side, then finger-style hair to allow the waves to fall naturally. Let hair air dry, or use a blow dryer and diffuser on low heat to enhance your waves’ natural texture and volume. Finish with a light hold hairspray to secure your look while allowing movement.
