Square Face Hairstyles
Do you have a square face? Each facial shape has hairstyles to highlight the features and balance your physiognomy. Discover all the tips you need to know when choosing your new cut without any missteps and finding a tailor-made hairstyle thanks to this square face hairstyles guide!
How to recognize a square face?
As its name seems to indicate, the length/width ratio of a “square” face must be more balanced than on an oval or round shape. But what really makes it possible to detect this physiognomy are the often straight features which outline the face. The jaws are aligned with the cheekbones to create a well-defined line and the chin can be described as “flatter”. Often depreciated for its masculine appearance, the square face can however be made more feminine thanks to a well-chosen haircut. Here are three examples to follow.
Three square cuts perfectly suited to your facial shape
To help you find the right cuts, here are three inspirations that work to perfection with square face shapes:
–The unstructured and very layered long cut
It will add volume but above all lengthen the shape of the face. Focus on shorter strands on the contour to break up and soften the pronounced angles of the jaw on square body shapes. You can also give this impression by lightening a few strands around the face.
–The plunging square
No question of imagining a retro cut like Victoria Beckham in the Spice Girls, the idea is to treat yourself to a modern and ultra-elegant hairstyle. This cut once again takes up the idea of softening slightly strong features… but we can just as easily embrace them completely with a very structured bob. Rather discreet or bold? You choose !
–The mid-length wavy cut
A slight undulation over the entire head can disrupt the proportions and make the face more round than square. Be careful, the square should not stop above the mouth because this will only intensify the structured shape of the chin.
Curly or straight? Bangs or not? Short or long?
Do you have a rather square face and there are hairstyle questions that remain unanswered despite your long searches on Pinterest?
Is it possible to have bangs when you have a square face?
Yes, you can wear bangs if you have a square face! For women who fully embrace their defined jawline and want to highlight it, you can try straight, structured bangs, which give character to your cut! If, on the contrary, you want to soften your face by giving it a shape closer to the oval, opt for longer, lighter or asymmetrical bangs.
Is it better to go for a short or long haircut?
Adopting a short cut doesn’t really have anything to do with the shape of the face! Little tip to know if you can wear your hair in a boyish style? Rely on the height of your neck and your head posture. The tip to know? The 6 cm rule. Take a ruler and a pencil, place the ruler vertically at the height of the earlobe and your pencil under the chin horizontally. If where the two meet, you are below 6m, the short haircut is made for you!
