Most women have a secret desire.

They don’t talk about it much, especially among strangers.

After all, it’s private.

Then again, even their closest friends may know nothing about it.

There’s always the chance someone could smirk or even laugh, and that would be the worst.

But this secret desire runs deep, so these women often read about it online.

And almost certainly, they have created a mini library of pictures that best depict this secret desire.

I’ve been debating whether I can pull off chin-length hair, too."

After all, women with this secret desire also harbor a not-so-secret desire to get it right.

Chin-length hair literally falls to the end of the chin.

In this case, looks don’t matter.

The measurable length does.

And if you like to measure, you’re in luck.

(And if you don’t, it will be over before you know it).

All you have to do is place the pencil under your chin horizontally.

Place the top edge of the ruler right below your ear lobe, running it vertically.

The pencil and the ruler should intersect.

Make a note of the number where they do, for this number will tell you everything.

It may not seem like it now, but there are many ways to style chin-length hair.

Seek out your options by experimenting on your own or by seeking the help of a professional.

With any luck, it may even exceed those secret desires.
