Lowering the chin stretches the visible nape and changes how the back outline appears. A rear-view check in that position answers a different question from a check with the head upright. Both can be useful, but they should not be confused.

Ask your barber to show the finished silhouette with your head level before assessing the lowest edge. If you prefer a particular width or curve, identify it in that neutral view. A Japanese barber consultation in Sydney CBD can include this simple distinction before the cut begins. It helps ensure that the rear shape you agree on is the shape you mean, rather than an effect created by head position.
