After regular salon appointments for healthy trims<\/a> and color refreshes<\/a>, you may feel like it\u2019s time to experiment with a new look. Whether you\u2019ve caught yourself thinking about a super-short pixie<\/a> or some shaggy layers<\/a>, the best hairstyles<\/a> tend to work with your natural features and complement your personal style. While all haircuts can be modified for any hair texture<\/a> and face shape<\/a>, some can tend to suit you better than others.<\/p>\n

Square faces<\/a>, for instance, are usually balanced at the forehead, cheekbones, and jawline. This lends itself well to layered<\/a>, asymmetric hairstyles that bring softness and movement to the face. Margot Robbie\u2019s<\/a> pinned-up curls, Yara Shahidi\u2019s slicked-back bun<\/a>, and Lucy Hale\u2019s romantic bob<\/a>, for example, are all great styles to bookmark for later.<\/p>\n

How to style different hair textures for a square face<\/p>\n

When it comes to styling different hair types<\/a> for a square face, \u201cit\u2019s less about the texture itself and more about how the hair is cut, shaped, and styled,\u201d celebrity hairstylist Charlotte Mensah<\/a> shares with Vogue. \u201cTight coils, spiral curls, and corkscrew curls can be incredibly flattering on a square face because they offer both structure and softness.\u201d<\/p>\n

For fine hair<\/a>, she suggests \u201clong layers<\/a> and gently textured bobs,\u201d as they can help create the illusion of fullness while still keeping the overall look light and flattering. According to Larry King’s Andreas Wild<\/a>, the key to mastering all of these looks is \u201cavoiding overly blunt, heavy lines around the jaw.\u201d<\/p>\n

What are the best hair lengths for square faces?<\/p>\n

Nata Bumford<\/a>, stylist at Hershesons Belgravia, says that longer hairstyles<\/a> (like bombshell curls<\/a>) and shoulder-length waves<\/a> are particularly flattering, as they elongate the face. \u201cShorter cuts, including pixie crops<\/a>, can also work well for square faces due to their versatility,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mensah spotlights rounded bobs<\/a> as a great choice, \u201cbecause the curved shape helps soften the jawline and naturally draws attention toward the cheekbones.\u201d All experts agree that the right balance usually comes from adding texture to soften the look and create harmony throughout the cut.<\/p>\n

What are the best bangs for square faces?<\/p>\n

Flattering bangs<\/a> on square faces often include those without harsh lines and that blend into the cut. This ranges from Birkin bangs<\/a> to curtain<\/a>, side-swept<\/a>, and wispy bangs. \u201cBlunt and heavy fringes tend to sharpen rather than soften the look,\u201d Bumford adds.<\/p>\n
