A sculptural chin and prominent cheekbones are specific features of a square face that often becomes the object of our admiration, because the most gorgeous Hollywood beauties (Angelina Jolie, Keira Knightley, Sandra Bullock, to name a few) have square faces. However, girls with a square face shape often need to correct their strong jawline with a flattering hairstyle, because, in fact, the width and length of their face shape are practically equal. And that is a deviation from the ideal proportions. Stylists recommend using face-framing locks and asymmetry to soften the angular outlines of square faces.

Hair Tips for Square Faces

When working on your styling, pay particular attention to the volume at the roots. This is going to correct proportions, making your face look longer. Use soft waves and round off the transitions between textures to achieve the illusion of an oval face.

Choosing between coloristic techniques, consider dyeing separate locks or go for ombre. Avoid defined borders between the hues. Softness and smoothness is the effect you need to pursue.

The choice of haircuts for square faces is quite wide as well. You can try haircuts for long hair or elongated pageboy haircuts. Layered haircuts with loads of layers are the ideal solution.
