Anyway, I hear we are to forget about face shape now when making hair-parting decisions.
According to Bella Online: The Voice of Women:
This [theory] says that when a person puts a part in their hair, they are emphasizing either the right or left brain functioning. According to the study by Catherine Walter and John Walter called The Effects of Hair Parting on Social Appraisal and Personal Development, others make subconscious assumptions about you from the way you part your hair.
The Gender Theory
Men with a Left Part
The left part works well for men. They are seen as popular, successful, strong and traditional although possibly out of touch with their feminine side.
Women with a Left Part
This is good for women interested in a career in politics or business. They are perceived as intelligent, in charge, and reliable. Sometimes they are perceived as overly masculine and this can create difficulties in fulfilling traditionally feminine roles.
Men with a Right Part
The right part is not natural for men. It can create an uncomfortable image, and is sometimes perceived as radical. However it can work for the man who is very self-confident or striving to be respected in a non-traditional role.
Women with a Right Part
This is natural for women. It is seen as very feminine, gentle and caring, however it can sometimes cause the problem of not being taken seriously.
Men and Women with No part, Center Part or Bald
This is perceived as natural for men and women. It is perceived as balanced, trustworthy and wise although it can lack the flair associated with the other types.
Oh no. This make me rather angry.
But it is too much fun to ignore:
The Hair Part Theory was developed by a brother-sister team trained, respectively, in nuclear physics and cultural anthropology. Their revolutionary theory is now being made available to the general public, so that all individuals can have more control over automatic and mostly unconscious assessments made of their personalities by others. John and Catherine Walter also produce the True Mirror®, a mirror that does not reverse the viewer's image and which therefore allows an accurate self-assessment.

Of course middle parts would look good on those celebrities in the pictures--they can even pull off bright red lipstick and fake tans.
We will have to content ourselves with side parts and summer-only tans.
A photograph also gives a fair self-assessment and is likely much cheaper than this True Mirror. (Perhaps this is why so many do not like photos of themselves?)
