Does Forehead Length Increase While Smiling?

Posted on Thu, 14 Sep 2017

Question: its a very silly question, but i just wanted to ask that when i strech my hair from behind completely, my forehead looks bigger in length but when i dont strech, it falls by 1-2 cm.. So can u tell me what is actually my forehead length:is it when completely streched from back or not?

Brief Answer:
Actual length of forehead is when you don't stretch your hair

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic,

When you stretch your hair the hairline seems to be slightly pulled back and that's why your forehead appears bigger as compared to when you don't stretch your hair.

The actual length of your forehead is when you don't stretch your hair.

Hope this answers your query, feel free to ask further.

Regards
Dr Asmeet
