The Square
Face Shape
The Square Face Shape has a strong, square jaw line and usually an equally square hairline.
Try
a short-to-medium hair length, especially with wave or roundness around
the face. Wispy bangs will soften the angular shape. Off-center parts
with height at the crown look great on square faces. You want to soften
the square look of your face with layers and wispy looks around the
face. Height at the crown will elongate your symmetrical shape. If your
hair is straight, you may want to consider a body wave, as some curl or
wave to the hair will achieve a nice balance to the straight features
of your face shape.
Avoid long straight styles that accentuate
the square jawbone. "Linear" straight bangs or center parts aren't the
best choice. A straight bob ending at the jaw line is the wrong thing
to do for your face shape. You can wear a layered bob, however it
should end above or below the jaw line, not at the jaw. Make sure in
styling that you achieve some roundness to the shape and some height at
the crown or bangs, and you will be on the right track.
