Long and Short Head Line

The length of the head line shows how a person thinks, not how intelligent they are.

Long head line

A head line reaching towards the outer edge of the palm shows a detailed, careful thinker who considers every angle. Such people do well in research, planning and analysis, but may overthink.

Short head line

A head line ending near the middle of the palm shows a fast, practical thinker who makes decisions quickly and prefers action to theory. Such people do well in sports, practical trades and emergencies.

Medium head line

A head line ending below the ring finger shows a balanced thinker who is both thoughtful and practical.

A common misunderstanding

A short head line does not mean low intelligence. It reflects a style of thinking focused and direct.
