i have a square shaped face and i have thick wavy hair (which also tends to be frizzy and....fluffy?)
the problem is i like leaving my hair short (like a little longer than chin)
what kind of styles or cuts would look flattering for my face shape? pictures would be great!! thankss
Square faces are similar to round faces, except they are not quite so short. They are shorter than rectangular faces, but just a tad longer than they are wide. The cheeks, forehead, and jawline are all the same width (and the outlines are squared) but, if you are lucky, the chin will curve down a little, giving you a little more length than a round face. You still have to add length to this one, and be careful not to add any width.
Good haircuts to consider will play down the angular jaw. (texture in the form of curls or choppy ends will do this brilliantly). Side swept long bangs will reveal the center part of the forehead, while covering the wide square corners. Short spiky haircuts that add height will work, along with long, sleek styles cut with layers that start at the jawline and continue downward. The shorter layers kicking up, can mask the angles of the jaw and point to that chin that is saving us. Center parts will add a little length, but on this short a face, probably not enough length. I think a short side part, with the rest of the hair drawn back and up, will do a better job.
We need to stay away from one length bobs and blunt cut bangs as they add width and cut the face in half, respectively. Overall one length styles are a poor choice too, because we all know that she's going to tuck that front behind her ears so she can see. And that she's just going to put that angular jaw right where everyone can see it. Whatever you do, the hair should be long enough to cascade around the tops of the shoulders (best case scenario), or at least fall below the chin.
For colour, toplights are in order here. Try to bring all the attention to her eyes and the top part of her face, Play down anything that going to point to her jaw. One or two slices in the top part or her long bangs will fall into a line that looks like the top part of an oval, visually rounding out the top of her face, and covering the square temples.
