But short of motion the shape of the forehead and the surrounding hair locations also impact the impression of one’s facial appearance. Read More…

But when the forehead occupies too much real estate of the face, greater than one-third, it can be too overwhelming and look out of proportion to the rest of the face. By definition the vertical length of the Read More…
