Ok, I think I've found my "hair role model"! I'll be taking this picture to a stylist the next time I get my hair cut:

I think the cut itself is fairly straight-forward (looks like long layers?), but I noticed that her part isn't quite as defined--it just sort of falls naturally to a side part, but you can't really see the part. I'd love to know how to recreate that kind of a part, since when my hair falls to a side part, you can see where my hair "separates" (if that makes any sense).

Anyone have any hints as to how to do a more natural part? Thanks!

I usually do a natural side part. I just use my fingers to place a couple of the curls from the front of the side where I want the part and clip them so there's lift and so they go the direction that I want. Behind that section I clip for height, but clip perpendicular to the part so that the part doesn't extend back to the crown. Hope that makes sense and HTH!

I don't have much a defined part. I tried clipping it recently so I'd have a neat part and didn't like it. Anyway, I start diffusing upside down and then I flip my head up and back and wherever my hair naturally goes on top, I just clip it wherever to get lift. It ends up being a pretty messy looking clipping job, but it works for me. I have some pics in my fotki -- just ignore the one where I was trying to be neat.
