Parting Ways

So, apparently I have been parting my hair the wrong way for 28 years. Matt's barber informed him of the correct way to part your hair. Did you all know that there was a correct way to part your hair? My hair has always done some funky things and now I blame it all on the part. I have officially switched my part to the left side but not without any pain. It is actually painful to switch your part. Your scalp really aches for a few days until the hair follicles adjust. I got a lot of comments today at church about my looks but no one could put their finger on it. They had no idea that all I did to change my looks was switch my part. Now my hair falls nicely off my head without any bumps in the back where my "cowlick" is. Here is the pic of my new part. How many times did I type the word part in the post? Are you getting sick of the word part yet?

I did some research on parting your hair after the comment from Gina about the correct way to part hair and here is what I found out:

A study done by Catherine Walter who is a cultural anthropologist, and her brother John is a nuclear physicist and mathematician helps prove the parting theory.

1. Parting your hair determines how others percieve you and how successful you will be in life.
2. People who part their hair on the right emphasize the right side of their brains and tend to be sensitive, compassionate and good listeners. Those who take it to the left are generally more aggressive and assertive. Type A personalities
3. Of the 44 men who've been elected president of the United States, only three -- James Buchanan, Warren Harding and Ronald Reagan -- parted their hair on the right. The Walters sent their findings to Al Gore. As a courtesy. Gore ignored them and continued to part his hair on the right. Bad move. He lost to leftie George W. Bush.
4.In 1998, she looked at photographs of every current member of Congress and the governors of all 50 states. "It's very difficult to get into office with a right part," she said. "Right parts are about 14 percent across the board."
5. The part theory applies equally to men and women. Margaret Thatcher and Hillary Clinton both have left parts. "And very few women in Congress have right parts
6.The Walters also cite Superman as an example of how their theory works. In the 1978 movie starring Christopher Reeve, nerdy Clark Kent had a right part. But Superman wore a left part
7. The eye theory says to part your hair on the side with the prettier eye so it emphasizes the eye.
8. The nose theory says to part your hair the way the your nose is tilting.
9. Our barber says to part your hair in the direction of your cowlick on the back of your head.

I hope this helps. Remember your part doesn't change who you are! I don't see myself turning into an "A" or Red personality.
