English term or phrase: Create your parting
¡Salve! (abstenerse calvos y calvas como yo)

El contexto:

Create your parting and divide the hair into sections ready for styling.

Se trata de un utensilio para el peinado del cabello. Las instrucciones indican hacerse la raya y dividir el cabello en mechones.

Sin embargo, tengo la duda si "hágase la raya" es la frase correcta.

Asker: Gracias, pero nada que ver, hacerse mechones correspondería a la segunda parte del contexto (divide the hair into sections).

neutral  JohnMcDove: Tal vez sea para "hacerse mechones", pero primero hay que "hacerse la raya"... ¿no?

create your parting
Marque la raya donde la usa habitualmente y divida el cabello en mechones


Explanation:
No nos peinamos todos con la misma "raya": algunos usan raya al medio, otros al costado, entiendo que de ahí viene el "your" parting, lo personaliza según el gusto del usuario.

Asker: Gracias, Verónica. Muy acertados tus comentarios. Marcar la raya es una buena alternativa para hacerse la raya (al medio, a un lado, etc.)
