Cameron Diaz at the Golden Globes
Forget short crops, structured bobs and boho waves, one of the hottest hair trends for the upcoming year is the severe centre part.
Kate Beckinsale, Cameron Diaz and Miley Cyrus were all pictured sporting the centre parting look for the dazzling Golden Globes on Sunday night, and the catwalk too was awash with the look.
Dolce & Gabanna and Paul Smith both featured the look quite heavily in their SS09 shows, with Smith choosing to combine his centre parting with wet loose locks on his models.
D&G however, made it a focal point by scraping their models' hair into a tight bun, fixed into place with a flower, leaving a severe parting on show.
This look was replicated on Kate Beckinsale on Sunday night, only she decided not to add any hair accessories to her look.
Yesterday we covered the new grungy beauty look, which is set to take the high-street by storm, and paired with this new hairstyle will complete the look perfectly.
Even the Russian, Romantic and Wild West trends set for success this year will look great teamed with a centre parting. Loose waves combined with the parting will make it seem less structured, while a scraped back hair-do leaving the part on show will give you the dramatic effect you're after.
Poker straight hair teamed with a centre parting will also be making a comeback, as clean structured lines come back into style, alongside more playful and loose fashion trends .
To achieve the dramatic centre parting, you'll need to invest in a fine tooth comb to tease your hair into place. If your hair is already pretty much centred already, use the comb to alter it slightly so that a more severe parting is obvious.
If you hair is usually parted off centre, you'll have to train it to stay in the centre once you have gotten it in place. Use hair grips either side of the parting to keep in place, until your hair naturally adapts.
