'Go There' Wednesdays: The Parted 'Fro

Welcome back, afro! With more and more women growing out their relaxers, the 'fro has definitely made a comeback. Why not update the look with a deep side part, ala Solange (left, at the Charlotte Ronson show)? A way-off-center part gives your natural an unexpected, super-cool feel -- plus fun volume. As they say in Texas, "the higher the hair, the closer to God." Pro tip: To ensure that the part doesn't disappear by the end of the day, apply a styling cream while your hair is still wet, and then create the part with a fine tooth comb.
