16. Long Beach Waves

Show off your laidback style and try this wavy hair on your square face. Loose waves soften up your angular face. Add a swooping side part and your sexy style is ready to go!

17. Small Box Braids

Add height at each side of your head with an extra layering of braids. This look has small braids, but larger braids can work as well.

18. Elegant Wedding Chignon

Make your jawline more subtle with this low bun wedding hairstyle. Creating imbalance is key, so leave some hair down and curly while tilting the chignon to one side.

19. Big Bun With Braid

Offset a strong jaw with a large bun look. It makes the perfect prom hairstyle for women with square faces but works for any other formal event. Wrap a section of braid around the hairband for a touch of style.

20. Long Hair With Side Part

Curly hair can distract from a harsh, square jaw. For straight hair and square face, a side part can help immensely. It happens to be our favorite softening effect! Pull hair into a half-up style to help open up your eyes.

21. Messy Low Bun With Layers

Cut short layers to length your chin and smooth out rough corners. This works especially well if you leave those face-framing layers down when you tie your hair into a low bun so they can work their magic!

22. Double Fishtail Braids

Double fishtail braids take the braided effect on square faces to the next level! A side part is best for this face shape. Try leaving some of your hair loose and curly at the end of the braids to soften your look.

23. Medium Natural Hair

Round natural hair, like small Afros, are perfect for softening up a square jaw. Plus, they open up and reveal your face so beautifully!

24. Long Fringe Pixie

Create roundness with long, eyebrow-skimming bangs on a pixie cut. If you’re unafraid of a chop, a short crop with bangs will elongate and frame the face for an ultra-feminine appeal.
