As summer approaches, many of us crave a fresh haircut for that seasonal refresh. But rushing into a chop can lead to regret. Celebrity-loved brand John Frieda shares a simple, proven trick to find your perfect hair length using a 2.25-inch (5.7 cm) ruler. Grab a ruler and pencil: position the ruler vertically along your earlobe and hold the pencil horizontally under your chin to form a right angle. Measure the distance. Under 5.7 cm? Short hair suits you best. Over 5.7 cm? Go long. Simple and spot-on, right?
This method hinges on facial proportions for the most flattering look. A longer face pairs beautifully with long hair to add balance, while a rounder face shines with shorter styles. Pro tip: Try hair contouring by customizing your shade to enhance your features, as recommended by top London stylists. Ready to perfect your style?
