Side part hairstyles: classic, hard part, textured

A side part is hair combed away from a line at one side of the head. These pictures show a classic side part combed neatly, a hard part with a shaved line and a low fade, and a loose textured side part with a little volume. Each is seen in the barber chair, in profile and on a city street. You can type a change, such as a wedding day, to ask for the cut with it.

Frequently asked questions

What is a hard part?

A hard part is a side part cut with a shaved line, usually shown here with a low fade beside it.

How does the textured side part differ?

It is loose with a little volume. The classic is combed neatly.

Can I change the look?

Yes. Type the change and the picture is made with it. It is a request, so the result may differ from the sample.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
