How to Choose a Haircut for a Square-Shaped Face

The effect of the right haircut on a square-shaped face is to reduce the hard angles of the face, resulting in a softer look. Before you choose a haircut for a square-shaped face, keep the following steps in mind.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Opt for a shorter haircut. Choose a shorter haircut in which your hair hits either above or below your jaw line.

2. Choose a cut that parts on the side. Side parts are the best option for square faces because they soften the square angles of the forehead.

3. Select a cut with bangs. Bangs are sometimes referred to as "fringes" and are perfect for square-shaped faces because they can conceal some of the angles of the forehead.

4. Pick a haircut that incorporates layers. A haircut with soft layers also serves to soften the hard angles over the entire face.

Tips & Warnings

• Let your stylist make some suggestions before you choose a hair style. They have been trained to choose the proper cut for square-shaped faces.
• Consider getting a body wave in your hair if you aren't looking to get a completely different look.
• Avoid long hair cuts. A long hair cut will highlight the hard angles of a square-shaped face.
• Don't choose a haircut that hits exactly at the jaw line. This will emphasize the harsh edges of the jaw line on a square-shaped face.
