"Hi. My name is Lauren, and today I'm here to discuss what is the best haircut for a square face. Typically your square shaped face is about as wide as it is long, and it's a lot more angular, then let's say your oval or your round face. So, it has a lot more defined features in it. The best length is your short to medium length, for a square shaped face. You don't want anything, too long. You also want to create some softness around your face. Softness can be created by putting some wispy bangs, maybe a fringed bang. Anything that will kind of like cut the corner so to speak, so that way you don't look as if you are as wide as you are long. Angling around your face will also help create a frame around your face. And, where if you blow it towards, it will kind of round out your face, so that way it's not looking as square. The chin length bob is actually really great for a square shaped face. It really works and right now it's in style we have the elongated bob, which is a little shorter in the back and more of a bob in the front. The bob will actually help round around your face also, so that way it will cut your corners and you'll have more of a rounder shaped face, or an oval shaped face. And it will make your angular shaped face, less pronounced. And that is the best hairstyles that you can do for a squared shaped face."
