What is the 2.25 hair rule?

The 2.25-inch rule is a simple hairstyling guideline, developed by John Frieda, to help determine if a short haircut suits your face shape by measuring the distance from your earlobe to your chin; if it's less than 2.25 inches (or 5.5 cm), short hair is flattering, but if it's more, longer styles are generally better. To test it, hold a pencil horizontally under your chin and a ruler vertically under your ear, and check where they meet; if the measurement is under 2.25 inches, short hair works, but if it's over, longer hair is recommended.
