Question

question 27 of 100
which of the following is a general guideline related to body proportions and
hair design?
select the correct response:
longer hairstyles are more flattering on people of short stature.
a hairstyle should not be any wider than the center of the shoulders.
shorter hairstyles are most flattering on people with fuller body proportions.
body proportions are determined by measuring the circumference of the head.

Explanation:

• Longer hairstyles visually shorten short stature, making the first option incorrect.
• Shorter hairstyles can draw more attention to fuller body proportions, which is not flattering, so the third option is wrong.
• Body proportions relate to overall body measurements (height, torso/limb ratios), not just head circumference, so the fourth option is incorrect.
• The correct guideline is that a hairstyle wider than the shoulder center can unbalance the body's visual proportions, so this is the valid rule.

Answer:

A hairstyle should not be any wider than the center of the shoulders.
