rivkaIf a person's hair has a strongly pronounced natural part on the side, how does that person wear a hairstyle that normally calls for symmetry?
I don't know anything about feminine hairstyles, but (a) it's starting to get hot, and (b) Alex's hair is increasingly in her way, even when we use a barette to keep it out of her eyes. I'd like to do side pigtails, but I'm not sure whether I should disregard her natural part (which seems as though it would look funny, because the part is so pronounced), or have the pigtails be asymmetrical (which seems as though it would look funny too).
This is an area of parenting that I feel completely incompetent about, so I would very much appreciate advice from people who understand long hair and/or hairstyling.

When I was older I had a central some-hair-ponytail instead.
