Hairstyles for Square faces



Hairstyles for Square faces 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.

Hairstyles for square faces• 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.

Other Square face celebrities include:
Kristin Scott Thomas, Holly Marie Combs, Sandra Bullock, Demi Moore, Isabella Rosellini
