Your
perfect hairstyle: Your
style options are surprisingly sexy…
A style, which is feathered at the top
and soft around your ears, is an instant disguise
for a square jaw. As a rule of thumb: if a stylist
suggests a cut that's above your jaw line, go elsewhere.
Really short cuts will exaggerate the squareness of
your face shape.
Fine hair? A long poker-straight cut is absolutely
perfect and soooo flattering for a wide jaw.
If you have curly hair: coax soft, sexy,
textured layers around your face to soften your strong
features. Your fringe options: Most hair types,
except curly, will be able to take a fringe that touches
the eyebrows and which is longer and layered at the
sides. But if your hair's thick or frizzy, layer the
fringe throughout to thin it out. Look at the way Victoria
Beckham does a great job of disguising her square jaw:
she simply sweeps fine pieces of hair just over her
forehead and eyes.
Colour you sexy: Lightening hair all around
the face will soften a square face.
Avoid
Long straight styles that accentuate square jawbone.
"Linear" straight bangs or center parts. A straight
bob ending at the jaw line is the wrong thing to do
for your face shape. You can wear a layered bob, however
it should end above or below the jaw line. Make sure
in styling that you achieve some roundness to the shape
and some height at the crown or bangs, and you will
be on the right track.
