The Art of Imperfection

Haha ok apologies in advance if this post sounds a bit frivolous. 

Just wanted to share a small tip I learnt when I was at the hair salon last saturday that fills me with a very strange sense of happiness (as in I don't know why I am so happy also).

You see, I always wondered how people could get hair partings that looked so natural. For years, what I'd do is to comb my hair up when it's wet, find the parting and then comb it straight down on both ends. Which often left me with a "perfectly straight" parting.

The stylist shared that I should find the parting when it's wet, and refrain from combing it through again when I blow dry, leaving it to fall naturally on its own. Finally,  I should leave a small gap at the front and comb perpendicularly straight down at the parting, towards the back of my head and just leave it to dry.

It's just that simple! I don't know why I took so long to ask. I guess things often look unattainable until we discover how do-able they are.
