The square face does not narrow much from the cheekbone to the forehead, nor from the cheekbone to the jawline. The square face may also look angular—the jawline may appear sharply-angled at the corners and even the forehead may be squared off.

The way to enhance a square face is to steer clear of blunt bangs, center parts and blunt, jaw-length bobs. Try side-swept bangs, curl or waviness and layers to bring softness to the angles of this face. Also, part hair on the side and, if you pull your hair back, leave some wispy pieces hanging around your face. Short to medium length hairstyles suit the square face shape, because of the strong jaw.
