This Trick Reveals If Short Hair Would Suit Your Face Shape Or Not

Celebs are chopping their hair shorter now more than ever but sometimes being an A-lister doesn't always mean you're going to suit it. 

So how are you meant to know if you'll look good or not?

THE 5.7cm RULE.

If you're wondering about your hair length and whether chopping it all off would look good, all you need is a ruler and a pencil, and The 2.25-inch (5.7cm) Rule.

International Training Director of Color Wow and Senior Stylist at John Frieda Salons UK, Giles Robinson, says: 'It's all about the angles. The Rule was created by John Frieda, and it is a fool-proof guide for hair stylists to use so they can tailor the cut to make the length as flattering as possible to the face shape.

'John studied faces and saw that the angle of the jaw bone determined whether or not someone would look best with short hair or long hair. He figured out an exact, easy to understand measurement that clearly indicates whether a face is suited to long or short hair.'

HOW TO FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF

Grab a ruler and a pencil. Place the pencil under your chin horizontally. Then place the ruler under your ear, vertically. The intersection of the pencil and ruler indicates a measurement. If it is less than 2.25 inches, then like Audrey Hepburn, your face is made for short hair. If that measurement is more than that length, like Jessica Alba, then long hair will be the most flattering choice.
