CHAHONG's 2026 hair-parting video: five gentle ways to find your own style
Inspired by an October 2026 Korean hairstyling video, compare part positions without claiming there is one ideal face shape.
On October 26, 2026, Korean hairstylist CHAHONG's official channel listed a video about finding a hair part that makes the face appear smaller. That phrase describes an aesthetic preference, **not a measurable change in facial size or a universal beauty rule**. The five checks below are our own practical editorial adaptation of the topic, not a verified transcription of the video's individual movements. Use the hair and tools you already have; no new cut or purchase is necessary.

01
Start with your natural hair direction
Once hair is dry, notice where it naturally separates and how strands grow around the crown. Length and texture vary; no fixed parting ratio or face-shape rule applies to everyone.

02
Gently try three positions
Use clean fingers to try the center and slightly to either side of your usual part. Avoid pulling the roots tightly or forcing hair to stay in a direction that feels uncomfortable.

03
Compare under similar light
Check the front and side from roughly the same distance and lighting. Rather than judging whether your face looks smaller, ask which option suits your preferred look and keeps hair out of your eyes.

If styling with heat, minimize damage
Blot wet hair gently instead of rubbing, and let it dry partway first. Limit blow-dryer heat and repetitive passes. Use a flat iron only on dry hair at a low or medium setting if necessary.

05
Choose comfort and watch for scalp symptoms
A relaxed part that stays comfortable matters more than achieving a rigid shape. Persistent shedding, scalp pain or inflammation deserves professional advice rather than another styling trick.

ⓘ Keep in mind

- Seek a dermatologist for worsening hair loss, persistent pain or an inflamed scalp.
