If you're itching to try out the zigzag part trend but have no clue where to start, have no fear. Celebrity hairstylist Kevin Murphy recently spoke with Bustle all about the Y2K hair trend and broke down exactly how to achieve it. "It followed the disheveled grunge hair of the '90s as a bit of a cut antidote," Murphy told the publication. "It started out casual and became more graphic and pronounced over time."

Be warned; Murphy noted that this look falls between a seven and a 10 on the difficulty scale, so don't expect it to be a snap. But if you're up for a challenge (and have a tail comb, a steady hand, sectioning clips, and some styling products handy), you'll be just fine. 

First, make sure your hair is ultra-clean and dry or damp hair, which Murphy says will make it easier to work with. Then, clip back pieces of your hair (especially those behind the ears). Now, place a finger where you want your part to end. "Then, using the tail of the comb like a pen, draw the desired direction and size of the zigzag on your scalp," Murphy explains. When the comb reaches your finger, separate the hair to either side and perfect the zigzag until it looks how you want it to. Be careful if you comb or brush out your hair afterwards, Murphy warns, as this can disturb the pattern you just worked so hard to create.
