What is a Hard Part?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A hard part is a type of shaved part. Also known as a razor part, the cut features a clean line shaved down to the scalp with a trimmer or razor. Hard parts are traditionally worn on the side and can work with a wide variety of hairstyles. While useful for creating sharp definition, hard parts require regular maintenance to staying looking neat and polished.<\/p>\n

Hard Part vs Soft Part<\/span><\/h2>\n

When it comes to parting your hair, there are two primary methods: the traditional soft part and the more modern hard part. Unlike soft hair parts, which are combed or brushed to separate sections, a hard part is shaved into place. As such, it offers more definition and contrast. However, it also takes time to grow out should you wish to change up your style.<\/p>\n
