If it turned out that you _did_ have a proportionally large head, then a career in television might be something for you. People on TV tend to have large heads and hands, proportionally.

Not to mention the freakishly huge egos. 🙂

No. Your head is not too big. And while I solidly agree with the photo-centric remarks above, I would add this: Your long dark hair accentuates the lines of your face and head. You don’t have a very round head- it is tapered and so the lines that are natural to your face/ head shape are accentuated by the lines of your hair: Long, dark straight.

Since beauty is solely in the eye of the beholder, I’d respectfully recommend that you stare at yourself in the mirror in the morning and say, " LOVE what I see !! LOVE who I see ! " and go on about your day !!!
