So, you’re agonizing over the idea of ashort cut.
Got curls likeSelena Gomez?
Go ahead and chop them off, if the spirit moves.
She did, and it looked great (viaGlamour).
Is your hair fine, like the locks ofCameron Diaz?
Then you’ve got proof it’ll look good short (viaHairstyles Weekly).
Or maybe you have thick locks?
In that case, could aKim Kardashianshoulder-length bob be for you (viaAllure)?
Long story, cut short (bad pun intended), you do you.
And specifically, the angle of your jaw bone.
Next, angle your pencil horizontally under your chin.
Position the point of the pencil away from your chin for a more exact measurement.
Now, place your ruler vertically under your ear, starting at your ear lobe.
The pencil and the ruler should intersect at a right angle.
What’s the distance from the bottom of your earlobe to the tip of your pencil?
Is it less than 2.25 inches?
Chop off your locks.
In that case, longer hair may be right for you.
Of course, we won’t blame you if you decide to cut your hair anyway.
If you do, just be prepared for extra maintenance.
According toByrdie, short hair should be trimmed at least every four to six weeks to maintain the style.
