Midd Part Hairstyle

1. Early 20th century and 1950s-1960s
The curtain hairstyle began gaining popularity in the mid-20th century when men’s hairstyles became more structured and polished. It was most popularized by the “rockabilly” style in the 1950s, when celebrities like Elvis Presley wore their hair falling across the forehead and framing the face, creating the “curtain” effect. It was a sort of alternative to other popular styles of the time, such as the pompadour or slicked-back hair. In those days, the curtain hairstyle became a symbol of youth culture and rebellion.

2. 1970s: Peak and changing trends
In the 1970s, curtains continued to be popular, but in a different context. The hairstyle became more relaxed and natural as long hair became fashionable. Men began wearing long hair again, and the curtains transformed into a feature framing the face, giving the look a sense of lightness and stylish unevenness. This style was characteristic of hippies and rock musicians, such as David Bowie and Lady James.

3. 1980s: Curtains at the peak of popularity
In the 1980s, the curtain hairstyle reached the peak of its popularity. It was worn not only by rock stars but also by ordinary men, especially the youth. The hairstyle became everyday wear and was adapted to various styles, combining with fluffy or wavy hair textures. This was the time when curtains became part of youth culture, symbolizing freedom and individuality

4. 1990s – 2000s: Decrease in popularity
By the late 1990s, curtains had somewhat fallen out of fashion, giving way to shorter, more structured haircuts. However, even during these years, some men remained loyal to this style. Curtains often became associated with a sense of nostalgia for the previous decades.

5. Modern times: Renaissance and new variations
Despite the temporary decline in popularity, the curtain hairstyle is experiencing a sort of revival in today’s fashion world. It has become especially popular among men looking for a stylish and easy-to-maintain look. Today, curtains are worn with both short and long hair, adding an effect of “unkempt elegance.” It has once again become trendy among young men who are returning to the retro style of the ’90s while adapting the hairstyle to current trends.

1. Hair preparation:
Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner suitable for your hair type. Our shampoo and conditioner are universal and suitable for all hair types.

2. Creating volume:
Dry your hair with a blow dryer until it’s slightly damp. For added volume, you can use a round brush or a blow dryer with a diffuser.

3. Forming the curtains:
Divide your hair with a part. The part can be in the center or slightly off to one side, depending on your preference.
Take one section of hair from one side of the part and begin styling it to frame your face. Repeat the same on the other side.

4. Styling:
You can use our styling comb to shape the hair or simply separate the strands with your fingers.

5. Fixing:
To set the hairstyle, use a strong hold styling product. For this, you will need our Egoist hair paste or Street hair wax. They will help maintain the hairstyle throughout the day.

6. Final touches:
Check that all parts of the hair are lying well and covering the face the way you like.
If the hair looks too heavy or tends to flatten, you can slightly adjust the shape with a comb or fingers.
