When doing an updo for a job application photo,
Did you know that your parting alone can completely change your impression?
Today, we'll organize how to part your hair in a way that suits Japanese job application photos from an expert's perspective.
6 Ways to Part Your Hair Properly
Choose the direction you usually part your hair
If there's a direction you habitually sweep your hair, that side will look the most natural.
Forcing it in the opposite direction can cause the hair to lift or look unnatural.
Part your hair where your hairline looks neat
There's a position where your hairline looks tidy when you part your hair.
The direction where baby hairs or stray hairs don't stick out and are neatly arranged will look much neater in the photo.
Find the direction where left-right asymmetry is less visible. Try both right and left in front of a mirror.
Everyone's face is asymmetrical, so the direction where the asymmetry is less pronounced will look much more balanced in the photo.
A 5:5 parting is also correct for Japanese job application photos. In Japanese job application photos, a 5:5 center parting is also preferred for its sincere and neat impression. If you want a more natural and softer feel, a 6:4 or 7:3 side parting is also good.
Don't part it too straight. Rather than a perfectly straight parting like you used a ruler,
Parting it slightly diagonally and naturally gives a much softer impression.
The key is to part it by rounding with a rat tail comb.
If you part your hair along the scalp, slightly rounding it with the end of a rat tail comb, it creates natural volume and flow.
Parting it straight as if scratching it can make it look unnatural.
