If we’ve learned anything from the internet when it comes to hair, it’s that people have very strong opinions about middle parts and side parts. In case you missed the biggest beauty debate to come out of the last few years, millennials and Gen Zers all over TikTok, Instagram, and X were at odds with each other over their differences in opinions on everything from skinny jeans to emojis, but the most divisive issue happens to be the middle part vs. side part debate.
According to Gen Z, side parts are out (and have been out for a long time), and middle parts are the hair trend that everyone needs to get on board with – period, no questions asked. Of course, middle parts aren’t new by any means: they’ve been trending for a while now, and while many millennials have attempted to defend the honor of side parts, many people have considered changing up their style – if not only for curiosity’s sake. Luckily, there are plenty of celebrities who have dabbled with middle hair parts, either recently or for as long as we can remember, to give you some inspiration.
Ahead, check out a few celebrities who are making Gen Z proud and wearing middle parts.
