You can take the part a little further down for an edgier look.

However, keep in mind that you want volume on top of your head with long hair but less volume with short hair. Too much volume on top on short hair can make you look off-balance. Also, with short hair, adjust your part according to your layers. If you have lots of short layers up near your face, don’t make your part as deep.

You’re creating more texture up top so it doesn’t look like you just combed your hair over.
