Let’s talk about the pixie cut first . An infallible trick to know if this haircut will really look good on you is to use the 2.25-inch rule. This formula consists of measuring the horizontal distance between the jaw and the ear on your face . This rule was discovered by hairdresser and stylist John Frieda, which was inspired by the golden ratio and gave us the key to know which features and which ones cannot be favored with this hairstyle.
To check it, you will need a ruler or a pencil that you must place under your chin and, from there, measure the distance to the lobe of one of your ears. If this distance is less than 2.25 inches (5.71 cm) , we can interpret that the pixie cut is a success. However, if the distance exceeds 2.25 inches, it is advisable that we go for a long cut.
