How to get and maintain a men's side part

Styles come and go in fashion but some are so everlasting that they can't be ignored. One such style that has held up to the test of time is the classic mens side part hair style. Here are some tips to get the look you want and how to maintain it.

1. Find the right person for the job.
You need to find the right person who's going to know exactly what it is your looking for. A barber is the safest bet as they are more familiar with men's hair and typically have the right tools. If you are confident in who already does your hair then don't be afraid to ask them for this cut.

2. Know what you want.
This can be extremely important. The best way to find the style of side part your looking for is through pictures. It's ok to show a picture to who ever is doing your hair the way you want it to look. Over the past few years people have put their own spin on the side part look so there are a few variations.

3. The part.
You have to know which way your hair parts so the person cutting knows how to style around the part. There are many ways to find out which way your hair parts.

4. Communicate
Talk to who ever is doing your hair. Ask about fades, tapering, and numbers. The more educated you are on hair terms the more likely you are to get what you are looking for.

5. If at first you don't succeed.
Try again. You may not like the way your hair turns out the first time. Like all new things give it some time and a few more tries and you might find yourself liking it more and more.

6. Maintenance tools.
To keep your part looking its best you'll need a few tools. A brush and a comb are a must and some sort of hair styling product. Experiment and try working with pomades and wax if you never have before. Pomades have been around for many years and wax is a nice substitute if you have a difficult time finding a pomade that will work.
