The Right Hairstyle for Your Square Face Shape
With a square face shape, your main aim should be to soften your strong jawline.
The right hairstyle for your square face shape.
“Avoid blunt bobs, especially sitting at chin length with
straight heavy bangs as this will accentuate your jaw line and
squareness.”
Hairstyles to Try
- Wispy forward falling hair onto your face will soften your jaw line.
- Wearing bangs swept over to one side will create diagonal movement to minimize square shapes.
- Short to medium length hair will also suit you, especially if the style is rounded in shape or has wispy ends.
- Styles with height at the crown will also work in your favor.
Hairstyles to Avoid
- Avoid blunt bobs, especially sitting at chin length with straight heavy bangs as this will accentuate your jaw line and squareness.
- Middle parts with solid bangs can also work against you.
The Right Short Hairstyle

This
short concave bob is a great looking hairstyle for a square face shape.
The sides falling forward soften the jaw line, while the diagonal
bangs also are ideal for minimizing squareness. The hairstyle has a
rounded appearance making it the right choice for framing square face
shapes. Other short styles that will work are looks with soft wispy
side parted swept across bangs in wavy or curly textures.
The Wrong Short Hairstyle

This
short cut illustrates really well what to avoid on square face
shapes. Firstly, the top area has a very square shape about it.
Secondly, the short tapered sides accentuate the squareness of the jaw
line, and the square hairline only adds to what is doomed from the
very start. Definitely the wrong cut for square face shapes.
The Right Medium Hairstyle

This
hairstyle has all the right ingredients to suit and compliment square
faces. The sides are soft and wispy, falling onto the jaw line hiding
squareness, and the side swept bangs create a diagonal illusion that
loses any focus on squareness. The graduated sides and back angle up
creating a whole new shape to frame the face. Other variations in
different textures will also work keeping to this theme.
The Wrong Medium Hairstyle

If
a picture tells a thousand words, what does this say to you? Terrible
in capital letters! The shape of the cut makes a square face shape
look even squarer. The straight across bangs shorten the length of the
face, while the chin length sides create width and draw attention to
the jaw area. This shape should be avoided.
The Right Long Hairstyle

This
long wavy hairstyle with side-swept bangs is just right for square
faces. The waves are open ended and have curved lines that are softer to
the eye, and the across bangs also help to change the perception of
shape to the eye making it appear rounder rather than square. Other
good long looks include wispy face framing layers in straight, wavy or
curly textures.
The Wrong Long Hairstyle

This
hairstyle looks very heavy and solid all over making it a bad choice
for square face shapes. The heavy bangs create a very square shape
alone, but once they are added to the straight sides and back, the
result is very square and angular. The sides need layers, while the
bangs need to be less heavy and more across. This is a good example of
the wrong cut for the wrong face shape.
