Middle part, tried on your own face

Before: selfie prior to the middle part try-onAfter: middle part rendered on the same face by Lineup
Real Lineup render: same face, same lighting, only the hair changes.

The middle part, or curtains, splits medium-length hair down the centre so it falls in two soft sections either side of the forehead. It came back from the nineties and has not left.

Whether it suits you depends almost entirely on your hairline and face width, which is why it is one of the most previewed cuts there is. The photo above is real Lineup output.

Questions people ask

Does a middle part suit a round face?

It can widen a round face, because it opens the forehead and pulls the eye outward. On oval and longer faces it tends to sit better. Your own face answers this in one render.

How long does hair need to be for curtains?

About four inches at the front so each side can fall past the eyebrow. Growing that from short takes roughly six months, including an awkward middle stage.

How does the Lineup try-on work?

Upload one selfie, pick a style, and Lineup renders it on your own face in 5-15 seconds with identity-preserving AI: your face, skin tone, and expression stay exactly as they are. Your first render is free.

Is Lineup a subscription?

No. Lineup uses one-time credit packs starting at $2.99: 1 credit = 1 render, credits never expire, and there is no weekly fee, ever. A failed render never costs a credit.
