Ok, so I will breathe easy and STOP obsessing over parts, LOL! I often wonder how tightly pulled the hair is when I see the intricate styles with flawless parts and I CANNOT withstand much pulling on my scalp as it sends my SD into OVERDRIVE and I end up with scaly patches that ultimately ooze and weep, so I plan to try to keep SOME semblance of parting, but not worry too much about it if possible.
