And so does the foolproof 5.5 cm rule for the ideal bobsleigh

  • Take a pencil and a ruler
  • You put the pencil vertically to your chin
  • You hold the ruler on the lower edge of your ear and close to the neck
  • If the distance between the pen - ie the lower edge of the chin - and the ear is less than 5.5 cm, you will have short hair
  • However, if the distance is more, you should do without short bobs and short hair hairstyles. A long bob is the better choice for you.
