English term or phrase: working against
Hair parts can be the focal point of a hairstyle. Because the eye is drawn to a part, you must be careful in the placement. It is usually best to use a natural part, whenever possible. You may, however, want to create a part according to your client’s head shape or facial features, or for a desired hairstyle. It is often challenging to create a hairstyle working against the natural crown part.
