Everybody's Side Bangs are always on the same side. Why?

I am cutting a new sheitel and I noticed that all the Side Bangs on sheitels run from left to right. Is there any reason everybody has their side bangs in the same direction?

Why doesn't anybody have sidebangs in the other direction?

Mine are in the other direction because my hair is parted that way. But I also notice that I'm one of very few who have it that way. I'm not sure why, though.

Me too. When I got a sheitel a few years ago with a sewn-in part, the sheitel macher noted "wrong side" part. I guess parts are usually on the left, and mine is on the right.

My bangs follow the part of my natural hair. That's where I had it when I was single and thus it remains Smile

maybe it has something to do with being right or left handed

My side bangs also do not go the "usual" way - they go from right to left.

I always parted my hair that way, so I got a shaitel the way I always liked it! I luv the look!

People's parts are usually opposite their dominant side. Most people are right handed, with left parts. In a right-hand dominated world, that's the way they make the wigs too.

This makes sense. I'm always putting the bangs behind my ear. It would be really weird to do this with my left hand.

Someone once told me it's like buttons on a shirt. If the buttons are on ...... side it's for mens if it's on....... it's for women. That could be the same for hair.

Mine goes left to right too, but that's because my nose tilts ever-so-slightly to the left and I want to counter-balance it, lol.

Mine go from left to right. If they went the other way I would feel mixed up.

But you all do realize that you don't see yourselves in the mirror the way everyone else sees you, right?
Everyone else sees you the other way around.

Raizle, I was once in a science museum that took a picture of you, how everybody else sees you. Not sure how they managed to do that, but it was cool. And weird looking.

Over the years, I have alternated between both. The left to right is just more comfortable for right handed people to deal with. And most of us are righties. And when are middle parts or no parts coming back? What happened to the zig zag parts? Very Happy

If you google Side Bangs in Google Images you will see a lot of celebritys having their side bangs from right to left, the left to right bangs are the standard in wigs.

Not that many people have bangs on their sheitel, I find. It's not so natural, very sheitel-y nowadays. Even girls with uncovered hair but bangs are asked if they have a sheitel.

bangs are in now. plus some of us need to have side hair even if we don't wear bangs because of low hairlines. also, I have a long face & the short hair very close to my face looks better than unmitigated long hair. I don't think my shaitel looks 'very shaitely'. as for the bangs, my part is on the side I parted my hair on. Most of my wigs came with middle parts. I don't have a multidirectional part, but my shaitel macher was able to brush it a different way anyway.

Or some of us (myself) have gigantic foreheads and need bangs for that reason. Before marriage I had bangs in my natural hair.

I always had bangs or side bangs because of my forehead and I have a pretty large widows peak. tho it has been getting smaller since I got married...
my hair naturally parts on the left side so I continued the look because thats what I like. when I tried it the other way it looked so wrong
