In defence of the side part: All the proof you need that this 'cheugy' style isn't cancelled.

2021 was full of many not great things. Pandemics. Civil unrest. Political battles. And, of course... the massive hair division. 

In case you don't recall, that's when Gen Z shamed the absolute millennial out of us over our side parts (let's... not talk about the skinny jeans).

Watch: Got one of those fancy Mermade Hair Wavers and don't have a clue how to use it? SAME. Let's learn. Post continues below.

It all started with this clip from @Lady-Gleep, who said, "Prove me wrong, but I don’t think there is a single person who looks better with a side part than they do a middle part." 

All of us. 

In a monstrous move, she then declared "the middle part is far more supreme" - telling anyone with a side part to... change to a middle one.
