Trends are cyclical. Back in 2016-2017, bell bottoms and flared pants had become a major trend. Likewise, middle partitions also became the coolest way to style one’s hair. Now, after almost a decade, it seems side-partitions are back in style. What’s funny about this is that most millennials are not at all happy about the trend making a comeback. Because well, we’ve already done the side-part, we went through a lot of trouble trying to move on from the side-part!

I am rejecting this trend, sorry but not sorry.
