This summer, show off your gorgeous colour. Whether you're on trend with a bold, single-process shade or are summer ready with sun-kissed highlights, there’s one versatile, fashion forward hairstyle that will help you rock your colour all summer long.

A hit all over the runways, the dramatic side part is one of the most versatile, simple, and flattering hairstyle staples this season. To display your hair colour to its full advantage, part your hair far to one side, then try on these 5 different looks we're craving right now.

1. A Little Glam
Who needs bangs? Step into the warm summer evening with your hair sweeping across your forehead—partially covering one eye for extra drama. On the other side, tuck strands behind your ear. Style straight for a sleek, shimmering look, or use a curling iron for glistening, glamorous waves.

2. A Choppy Lob
The perfect everyday look: Pair the drama of the part with the edginess of a flattering, layered lob.

3. Ode to the 20s
Flapper style: if you have long or medium-length locks, tuck and pin the ends underneath for a faux-bob.

4. Easy-Chic Double Knot
After spraying strands with a volumizing or texturizing spray, pull hair back and divide into two pieces. Tie them together, then tie them again. Spray with hairspray for a lasting hold.

5. With a Twist
Add a soft and elegant detail to your part: after parting hair in a low side part, take the larger section of hair and twist from the part along the hairline. Pin the twist behind your ear.
