The square face is characterized by a strong square jaw and ofen square forehead to match. The oval face is considered the perfect shape, so we always try to create that illusion when giving advice about face shape. Try some of these hair tips to help create the illusion of the perfect face shape with your hairstyle for the square shaped face:
- If you have longer hair and a square face, let
it fall past the shoulders and allow some soft layers or a grown
out fringe to fall around the temples.
- Even when pulled back,
leave wisps around the face as this will help to soften your look and
make your face look more oval.
- If your hair is shorter, elongate
the face by going for height at the crown and keep a soft roundness
in the silhouette.
- Cut above or below the jawline
just not on it. Always insist on layers, not single-length styles
or center partings. These will always draw attention to a square
face rather than softening it.

- Book, or drop in at your favorite
or local salon and get a consultation. These are free of charge
and will give you some great ideas that you can have a think
about. If you have a decent printer, you can also print out
some of our images and take them with you to see what the hairdresser
thinks. Hairdressers really appreciate this as it gives them
a starting point to say "yes, we can try this but your own hair
is more wavy so will look more like this" for example. If you
can't find pictures of what you want, take along a picture to
show them what you don't want! We know this sounds strange but
in the hands of an expert it will be obvious as to what you
will like.
