What are the proportions or measurements of where an attractive hairline begins for females?

Question

There seems to be ideal measurements for eyebrow length and placement but are there also measurements for where an ideal hairline begins? I've read that a feminine hairline angles forward towards the forehead from the temples on the sides and a masculine one angles the opposite direction. I'd like to know more about the measurements of the hairline relative to the nose, eyes or other facial landmarks. Thank you.

Dr. Rassman wrote a medical journal article on your question for a proportionate hair line.  You can see the link below.

Da Vinci, who has written extensively re facial proportions, describes the ideal female hairline as irregular, slightly rounded, and located so the face is divided into 3rds from the chin to the bottom of the nose, to the brows, and then to the hairline.

The center of an ideal female hairline is 5-6.5cm above a spot between the eyebrows above the nose(the glabella) in a woman of average height. The shape is relatively straight across from the acutely downward growing  temple hair to temple hair. The shape is also often an upside down U. A more masculine looking hairline can have its height and shape changed surgically.
