Is the court for you? This technique answers you!

The idea of ​​going short is going through your head, but you don’t dare to take the plunge? Thanks to this express technique, you will soon know if this length is made to enhance your face!

Boyish cut, ball cut, cut boyish, pixie cut… So many short haircuts that make us want to radically change our minds! However, it is far from easy to decide to cut everything, without fear of having to regret it. It’s a fact: going from long, or mid-long, to short, can be a shock if you are not prepared! Fortunately, some techniques allow you to get an idea of ​​the result before going through the hairdressing salon. If the option of filters and photo montages, or even that of the wig, is available to you, know that there is also a low-cost, precise and ultra-easy trick of which here is the secret …

The 5.7 centimeter rule

Believe it or not, we are now going to talk about mathematics! Rest assured, for once: it promises to be child’s play … In order to proceed with the calculation, you simply have to bring yourself a pencil, a ruler (or a tape measure, it doesn’t matter) and a little patience. Once the material is assembled, it is at the level of your jaw that everything happens. Place your ruler vertically across your face, starting from under your ear, and your pencil under your chin, but horizontally this time. Now all you have to do is check how far your ruler and pencil intersect.

Verdict: if the distance between your earlobe and the reference point marked with the tip of your chin is less than 5.7 centimeters, in this case, you can go for it without hesitation! The court will have the art of highlighting your face. Be careful, if this measurement is greater than 5.7 centimeters, that does not mean that short cuts are prohibited. This result will simply mean that your face is more easily sublimated by the length and that you are recommended to rely on the talents of a make-up artist if you choose to take the plunge.

Once this technique is done, it’s up to you to decide, not only if you choose to cut everything, but also which short haircut to opt for if so! From the wisest hairstyle to the eccentric one, you are spoiled for choice. So, while waiting to be able to make an appointment with your hairdresser, continue to stock up on ideas by taking inspiration from the short haircuts all more stylish than the others that we offer you!
