The middle part is a haircut that only appears simple at first glance. In reality, its success depends on the deliberate use of geometry, projections, and disconnection, which together create a balanced, lightweight form. The course demonstrates how to approach the middle part systematically—as a universal technique for both women and men, where every angle and section division is a deliberate decision rather than a mere replication of a template.

Michał Daniel guides you through the entire technical process, from analyzing the head and dividing it into four distinct panels, to building the foundation on the back panel, all the way to joining the top to the sides and the final customization. A key element here is the deliberate use of disconnection—not as an effect, but as a tool to slim the form, give it character, and control the weight in the nape section and around the sideburns.

In this course, you'll learn:

  • Building the shape step by step using three geometric shapes: a vertical triangle and a horizontal circle at the back, and a triangle and a square on the sides
  • The deliberate use of layering in two key areas—the nape and the sideburns—as a way to add lightness and character
  • Work on the top section, shaped like a horizontal triangle, to naturally add volume at the parting
  • The technique of joining the top panel to the side panel in a large, horizontal section using gradation to achieve a smooth transition
  • Principles for building the foundation of a hairstyle starting from the back section and carrying the length to the sides as the starting point for the overall shape
  • Dry personalization – softening the ends and weight lines using pointing without altering the established shape
  • A complete styling routine for a dewy, "runway-ready" look using a toner, a shine-enhancing product, and a finishing spray to set the details

After this course, you’ll start to view the middle part not as a single hairstyle, but as a geometry-based system that you can adapt to different hair lengths and types. You’ll learn to consciously direct weight, use disconnection to build the character of the hairstyle, and control the entire form from the foundation to the final details, transforming random movements into precise, technical craftsmanship.
