Amy, who uploads as @Bondenavant, said: "This is an easy way to know if short hair will look good on you.
"All you need is two pencils and a measuring tape. Put the pencil underneath your chin.
"You place the second one at the base of your ear - the angle/length of your jaw is everything.
"If the distance is greater than 2 1/4in (5.17cm), then longer hair will look good on you. If it's shorter than 2 1/4in, then shorter hair will look good on you."
