Not to add to the scourge of "fashion enthusiasts who think that having a pinterest account makes them an expert on trend predictions" that currently plagues the internet, BUT, if I were to make a prediction as to how the next year is going to go, I would say to mark my words: the side part is returning.
Soon, we'll start getting tired of our middle parts, and in some fucked up combination of boredom, nostalgia, and irony, we'll begin styling our hair in a deep side part. And honestly? I can't wait to see it take over again. I remember being in middle school and feeling all fuzzy watching the girls in my class run their hands through their deep-parted, waterfall-like locks. (I, too, tried to rock a side part out of tweenage angst and insecurity, but soon realized that my hair is destined for the ratty Alexa Chung-style bangs and bob combination). I know gen-zers like to make fun of millennials for their side parts, but have we forgotten how good a side part can look?

Anyways, for those of you who are ready to return to your roots [literally], I've rounded up some side parted babes from the depths of tumblr to inspire your new 'dos:
