Is the ideal hairline 3 fingers or 4 fingers tall?

Counting from just above the eyebrows

3

3 due to good hairline but accompanied by a tall skull

the worst to have is a big forhead due to norwooding and a short skull

Depends on the length of the nose. Christian Bale’s somewhat high hairline and low brows harmonize with his long nose as it elongates his upper third, making it roughly equal to his middle third:

Brad Pitt, however, has a short nose, so a lower hairline is more ideal for him (again, to keep facial thirds balanced):

Good comparison!
