For many girls, at least once in their life, the thought arose: “Should I not cut off my hair?” However, not everybody can part with long curls, because in the case of an unsuccessful haircut, this will take a very long time.
AdMe.ru shares with you a simple trick that will help determine whether you should make a short haircut, so that you do not regret your choice.
This method was invented by the famous British stylist and founder of the eponymous brand of hair products John Frieda (John Frieda) and is known as the “5.5 cm rule”. All you need is a ruler and a pencil.
To understand whether you are going to cut short or not, you need to do the following:
- Place the pencil horizontally under the chin, and the ruler perpendicular to the pencil. It should be an angle of 90 degrees.
- Measure the distance from the ear lobe to the point of intersection of the pencil and ruler. If this distance is less than 5.5 cm, you can safely go to the hairdresser. If the distance is greater, it is better to refuse a short haircut.
A good example is Michelle Williams and Liv Tyler.
Michelle is amazingly short, and Liv looks amazing with long curls. According to John Frieda, "it's all about the corners."
Stylists say that this method is reliable and accurate. So if you can not decide on a short haircut, feel free to reach the line with a pencil. Well, or spit on everything and do as you want.
Long hair and age: is loose hair appropriate after 30, 40, 50
We do not believe that there is a certain age, after which the long hair of the indispensable are banned. It all depends on a number of parameters.
Factor 1: Structure and quality of hair
It is obvious that long thin hair looks bad: remember the steady expression “rat tail”? This, of course, should be avoided, especially since there is a huge amount of haircuts and hairstyles for thin hair. But the luxurious, well-groomed and voluminous hair at any age look great.

Factor 2: Face Type
On the most common forms of face and haircuts, which emphasize the advantages and hide the flaws, can be found in our article.
Factor 3: Style
Here we mean both the style of dress and lifestyle. Active sports girls may prefer shorter hair just for the sake of convenience.
Factor 4: Fashion
If you follow the trends and they are really important to you, or if you work in the beauty or show business, perhaps the profession requires you to change your haircut in each season. Nothing wrong with that, changing is fun!
Factor 5: Hair Style
What really looks old-fashioned and even a little old is the long braid (unless, of course, you are in the age of a girl). If you are not ready to straighten, curl or even somehow style and decorate long hair and you know that most likely you will just braid them in a braid or quickly fasten it with a crab barrette - choose a stylish haircut. Haircut does not have to be short - just choose the length that you will be comfortable to take care of.

Factor 6: Personal Preferences
If you want to wear your hair up to your lower back - this is your right. If you are proud of the thick head of hair that you have been growing for several years, no fashionable trends can make you have a haircut. Actress Demi Moore looks great with long hair, British fashion editor Sarah Harris proudly wears not just long, but also completely gray hair and looks very interesting. Actress Sarah Jessica Parker has introduced the trend for long curls. Choose a style icon or create trends yourself.

I am also small, 157 cm tall, but not thin, 48 size, and there is really a lot of hair, when they paint me 2 times in the salon, the paint is not enough. And the real mane, the wind, yes, and even they are not straight, not curly, just curl a little, the wind blows - an explosion on the head. No styling tools do not help. And just during the day I comb my hair 5 times, because they get stuck in icicles.

"I see this" what? My hair is not dyed, thick, light blond. Do not split. I braid it mostly. In the sun the hair is the color of ears, glisten. I understand, if you dissolve, or they are not well-groomed, like a woman's yaga. That is another conversation. Of course you need to monitor the condition of the hair, and not give up on them, supposedly, and so beautiful.

Repainted in blonde, the hair of the industry to the shoulder blades, but I do not like it, it looks good only when straight.

if the woman looks noble, you can see from her face that she is smart and knows how to present herself, well-groomed, thin, then her long hair will go, and if like a hunted horse, always with torches, my aunt's face a la "I have 6 children and everything hungry, everybody needs to be fed, and yet her husband is a lousy intellectual and I consider myself a piece of ooova, where I already have to be beautiful ", then no long hair will go to her, but it looks like such an old aunt clogged up with life that children

++++++ also agrees, it looks beautiful when only to the waist, but to the knees already somehow. buueee. and there is no envy here, envy still does not add health and money and a roll into the throat and so climbs.
just very ugly aunt looks, especially for 30 and the hair is dragging on the ground, some kind of misery, deformity, you are no longer 18 and never will be, and there is nothing to copy such a bee

What will happen. and in old age the face becomes evil, the main thing is to always go with ease and not frown
Advantages and disadvantages of short hair
Short hair, no doubt, more comfortable in daily use, however, they have their own characteristics in the care. Short haircuts are famous for being full of people, because it is believed that they visually narrow the face. In addition, the hair in such hairstyles less split and do not form double ends (mainly because you have to adjust the haircut at least once every six weeks).
Short hairstyles also contribute to a more economical use of funds - shampoos, balsams, styling products.
With a certain imagination and with short hair, you can experiment. Bangs will soften the clear contours of the hairstyle, gel - will make the hairstyle more youthful. But the lush haircut "cap" categorically contraindicated chubby women. Lean energetic girls, leading a sports lifestyle as well as possible go haircuts in the style of Victoria Beckham interspersed with white or even red strands.
Whether you wear long hair or short hair, leave it loose or styled in a complex hairstyle, it is important that your haircut matches your face, overall style and lifestyle - this is the only way to create an individual and complete image. Sometimes changes in the image scare us, but if you think about it, this opens up room for imagination and can bring pleasant surprises to our sense of self in this world.
