Get voluminous locks with a low-lying parting

Women with fine hair tend to complain about a lack of volume and body. However, there are a few handy tips and tricks to get your hair looking fuller and thicker. All you need to do is create a low-lying side parting to create the illusion of having more hair. Want to give this nifty technique a go? Discover how.
 
The low-lying parting. The side parting has been a popular choice with this season’s hairstyles. However, the low-lying side parting is much less common. Created on either side of your choice, it should lie just above your ear. Why create such a low parting, we hear you say? Sweeping all of your hair over to the opposite side instantly creates the illusion of more volume.
 
Which styles go hand-in-hand with the low parting? The low-lying parting is perfect for both evening and daytime looks, and ensures a glamorous, sophisticated finish every time. For a day-to-day look, the low-lying parting creates volume and body whilst evening hairstyles are refined and elegant. This low parting is ideal for a girls’ night out sipping on cocktails or even a wedding event, for a feminine feel. All you need to decide on is how to style the rest of your hair. We recommend a side chignon, chic ponytail or a sleek braid.
 
How to style the low-lying parting for daytime looks. Although this parting is most commonly styled with loose flowing lengths, there are several other ways to make the most of your new-found volume. Try out a thick braid or a backcombed half ponytail. There are tonnes of different ways to style with this parting…get experimenting!
