Every woman faces that pivotal hair dilemma: craving a bold short haircut but worrying it won't flatter. Unlike dye jobs a pro can reverse quickly, growing out length takes time (extensions aside). Enter a smart tip from PureWow, using your jaw angle for clarity.
Grab a ruler, pencil, and mirror. Position yourself to show half your face. Hold the pencil horizontally from your chin toward the ear. Measure the gap from earlobe to pencil with the ruler. Under 5.7 centimeters (2.25 inches)? A chin-length bob or pixie is ideal. Over? Stick to shoulder-grazing lengths for balance.
This isn't lab-tested science, so experiment freely—even if your measure tops 5.7 cm.
Short cuts span romantic waves, boho vibes, sultry edges, or rock rebellion. They spotlight your face, amplifying lips and eyes for drama. Accessorize easily with clips, bars, bands, or bows. The real win? Instant youthfulness with refined elegance.
