Christina Haack Totally Transforms When Her Hair Isn't In Its Signature Middle Part

Christina Haack, who's had a run of success on HGTV with shows like "Flip or Flop" with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and "Christina on the Coast," clearly puts a lot of effort into her appearance. She exercises daily, spends a fair bit of her earnings on her face (we even asked a plastic surgeon to break down Christina Haack's face changes), and always has perfect hair. We've come to know her signature hairstyle well over the years, as she favors a middle part with long waves, amplified with extensions. Newsflash: Haack looks quite different when she parts her hair on the side.

There have been times when we almost didn't recognize Christina Haack without her extensions, and the same goes for her part when she wears it anywhere but straight in the center. Two such examples were at the 2017 Daytime Emmy awards and at the 2023 "Barbie" premiere in L.A. Both were high-profile events, which leads us to believe that she saves the side-part switch-up for special occasions to up her glam factor.

Does a side or center part suit Christina Haack better?

Christina Haack's hair and makeup were so different during her first HGVT appearance on "Flip or Flop" back in 2013. Her hair was all one buttery tone, as opposed to the multiple shades of blond she added in later. There didn't seem to be any extensions in her stick-straight locks, and she was rocking a side part before adopting her signature center part. So, which part suits the star better?

Personal preference should be the first mandate in this decision, but there are still a few factors to take into account. Haack's face shape seems to be oval with a bit of a square jawline, and both a side and a center part can work in this case. If one's features are sharp, then a side part can help soften them. If one's face is asymmetrical, a center part can make that more poignant. For example, if your eyebrows are uneven, they're more noticeable with a center part. Regardless of center or right, Haack reminds us that even when we get comfortable with a signature look, it's worth changing it up occasionally for an instant hit of freshness.
