Something completely underrated and completely unmentioned on lookism and looksmax is the contribution of the neurocranium to facial aesthetics. Golden ratio masks are limited to just the face.
If anyone knows anything about making an aesthetically pleasing head it is artists. Most artists employ the use of a head template. The most common of which is the use of a circle with a diameter passing through where the hairline would be.
tl;dr Neurocranium should be widest where the hairline begins. Until that point the neurocranium should be almost completely straight and the top of the neurocranium should be as close as possible to a semi circle.

Even though the neurocranium contributes a considerable amount to overall smv. Take shia for example.
He looks completely ridiculous with a shaved head. This is due to his neurocranium being widest at the base and most narrow where his hairline begins. On top of that the top of his head is not semi circular and could be a very small segment of a circle.
Zayn on the other hand is the polar opposite. He has looked his best with a buzzcut. His skull is the widest at the beginning of his hairline and is completely straight until that point. The right side of his neurocranium could be used as a ruler to draw a straight line and the curve of his skull could be used to draw a circle.
Despite how masculine the rest of the rock's face looks, the area above his eyebrows completely drags down the rest of his face, for the same reasons as Shia. On top of the the top of his skull is akin to a parabola rather than a semi-circle and is completely comical.
Now for those who are completely skeptical of this idea that neurocranium should be the widest where the hairline begins, look no further than:Here is a short gif to illustrate this idea. If I were to redo this I would make the sides more straight and angled.

Here is the outline of zayns neurocranium for those who are interested.
Here is the readjusted version for symmetry. Admittedly, I prefer the original.
