Side parts are back. A dermatologist explains why that's a good thing for hair health.

After years of the side part being dubbed "uncool," the look is having another moment in the spotlight in 2024 with stars like Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Eva Longoria sporting the style at recent events — and the switch-up is good news for your hair. 

Even Gen Z stars have moved away from the middle part recently, including Kylie Jenner, Olivia Rodrigo and Chloë Grace Moretz.

While where you part your hair should have no influence in how the hair grows, Dr. Elizabeth Geddes-Bruce, a dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon at Westlake Dermatology, told CBS News that switching things up can help support hair health.
