A real dumb question: what side do you part your hair on?

Poll question: A real dumb question: what side do you part your hair on?

Some don't, some do, some have no hair to do it at all.

But I was looking at my avatar and in a post I realised I know very few people, male or female, who part their hair on their right side. I was trying to decide whether that's just me, or is this true?

1. My dear hyphenate!

NOT mostly on the right...always on the right...

See?

Remember that the picture reverses the actual view...

This pic is from last year at an open mic I went to, and it shows my part very well!

2. I used to part my hair on the right, too

Then when it got long I parted it in the middle. Then I got attacked by a clipper at the barber shop and now I don't have enough hair to part. But I have never parted my hair on the left.

3. My husband says he looks like a recent escapee from

San Quentin!

His is very short too, and so he doesn't have enough to part either...

4. I don't part mine now

but quite a long time ago, my mom used to part mine on the left.



Peggy, you look great, however you part it!

5. Aw, thanks, sweetie!

And you were a very cute little girl!

I could NOT even roller skate, never mind ice skate!:scared:

:hi:

6. I have age-inappropriate hair

part it in the middle, wear two LONG pony/pig tails.

7. I'm bald.

I have fringe on the sides and a few wisps up top. But not enough to part. No strain, though. It's just hair... B-)

8. Now that I keep my hair less than an inch long, I don't part it at all.

But back when I had hair down to my ass, I parted it in the middle...stoner style.

9. In the middle.

That's where it naturally falls, so that's where it stays.

10. I brush my stomach hair to form a little pyramid that covers my navel.

11. We are DU. We mostly do it ON THE LEFT.

Duh.

12. Shaved head

[mopinko]

19. buzz

13. I have tried the other side ...

... but my hair won't cooperate. It's just not my choice; the hair needs to part on the left.

[Blue_In_AK]

14. I have no choice

It parts on the right naturally. I have a little cowlick there.

[bigwillq]

15. I shave my head.

No worrying about parts for me! :)

16. center right

my hair naturally parts just slightly right of center.

17. In the middle, half up front, half in back.

18. Right now, my hair's too short to part

when it isn't - I just comb it straight back and let it do what it wants.

Mostly parts kinda in the middle when I do that, but with my hair thinning in front, I'm trying not to let it get long enough anymore. If I do that now, it looks like I have a start on a future comb-over - which I intend to avoid at all costs.

20. I have a pony tail.

One day I realized I havent been to a barber in about 9 months so I just started it tying it back.


Edit to add that I'm too old to have a pony tail.

[AllenVanAllen]

23. Same here.

Once it gets too thin on top I'm going back to short.

21. Depends if you're left or right handed.

Right handed so I part on the left. I assume left handed part on the right. Try combing on the right with your right hand. Seems more natural to 'pull-comb' than 'push-comb'.

[AlienGirl]

22. On the LEFT, which was a conscious choice in teenage-hood, to signal LEFT-wing ideals (I hoped)

[old mark]

24. Not enough to part - my hairline is receding- down the back of my neck.

:shrug:
