Thread: parting your hair on the right or the the left?

most of this is forgotten by todays standards so it's no big deal.. and the rule can always be broken depending on which way your hair grows or the direction of your broken nose

as for me.. my hair combs perfect on the right.. but i feel awkward.. perhaps i need a flattop.

That my friend, is such b******t. It reminds me of that "don't pierce your right ear because only gay guys wear earrings in their right ear". I have both pierced...so that makes me bi? No. I say whatever looks best on you!

My hair is about 1/8 to 1/4 " in length. Parting is never necessary.

Please don't curse. Using asterisks to dot out the letters really doesn't make it better, despite what people say. If everyone can read it by inference, then writing a word with letters blinked out is the same as just writing it without the asterisks.

Your point is valid, but since this is a gentlemanly forum where we can have a conversation like civilized (wo)men, profanity is not required to bring the message across.

I used to part my hair on the left when I was about 10 years old and it was the more fashionable way to do things. Now that I am older and really don't care about fashion, and while I still have some hair left to do it with, I brush it straight back and tie it off in a poney tail...Oh yeah, and I only have my left ear pierced as anything more is just questionable in a male .

I'm with Bruno.Stopped caring about style long ago.Bought myself a clipper for about $25 and have been cutting my own hair for about 10 years.Snap on the #3 guard and buzz it all off to the same length.The money I save on haircuts,I spend on razors and such.

Perhaps you should try "Dapper Dan" products. Then you can go around saying "I'm a Dapper Dan man".

ref - O Brother Where Art Though (yes, I know that it does not really exist, but you can buy the empty cans on e-bay)

Seriously - my hair is so wavy I cannot even hope to do a part. I'd actually like to .

I have mine pretty short as well, so I just bung a bit of wax in it and give it a rub. Its the static electricity look..!

I dont have it in that Eraserhead style, but it is kinda spiky.

Man do I love that movie!

Hair should be parted where it wants to part. For the vast majority this is on the left. For me, it is on the right and that is how I have done it for the past 55 years. As with shaving, do what is natural, not what some "expert" says you should be doing.

Like many, I've had a crewcut for as long as I can remember. As for a parting, well if you have enough hair, anywhere but the centre.
