Is a 7.5 cm forehead big

Honestly, whether 7.5 cm is "big" depends on how you measure and the rest of your face. The average adult forehead usually falls between 5 cm and maybe 7 cm. So 7.5 is a bit above that, but not some freakish outlier. It's totally within a normal, attractive range for a lot of face shapes. Medically or aesthetically, nobody's calling that abnormally large.

What is the average forehead size?

The typical forehead height — from hairline down to your brow bone — is about 5 to 7 centimeters. Guys tend to land around 6.5 to 7 cm, while women are usually 5.5 to 6.5. So a 7.5 cm forehead is a touch above average, but you see it all the time, especially in men with higher hairlines or certain ethnicities. It's not weird.

How to measure your forehead correctly

If you want to know if yours is really 7.5 cm, grab a flexible measuring tape. Put it right at the center of your hairline — where your hair starts — and run it straight down to the top of your brow bone. Don't measure from the top of your head. If your hairline's receding, use the line you had when you were younger, or the highest wrinkle you get when you raise your eyebrows. That's the trick.

Does a 7.5 cm forehead mean a big forehead?

Not really. It can look big if your face is super short or round. But on a longer or oval face? It's totally balanced. Tons of celebrities and models have foreheads that measure 7 to 8 cm. The whole "bigness" thing is more about the ratio between your forehead and the rest of your face, not just the number itself.
