A face of any geometric shape has its own characteristics that must be considered when choosing a suitable hairstyle. The “square” shape is considered quite complex, however, properly selected bangs can easily hide unsightly features and emphasize advantages. The article will discuss which bangs are suitable for a "square" face shape.
Features
A “square” face is a type in which the lines of the chin, cheekbones and forehead are almost equal to each other. The outlines of the chin in this case are pronounced, have clear edges. They are angular, which visually makes the lower part of the face coarse and "heavy." To adjust this shape and make the image more sophisticated, you need to correctly choose a hairstyle. Bangs are of great importance.
Which is better?
It is believed that the owners of the "square" shape of the face are suitable only for those haircuts that do not have bangs. However, this is not at all true. There are many options for bangs that can decorate a "square" face. In this case, there are no restrictions in choosing the length of the bangs, it all depends on the haircut and personal preferences of the owner of the appearance of this type.
Volumetric
Owners of lush strands will fit voluminous and curly bangs. If the hair is naturally straight, this can be fixed with curling irons. Smooth wavy lines of the hair will smooth out rough outlines of the face and make the image softer. Such a bang is perfect for women with a low forehead.
It is worth remembering that the wound fringe visually becomes shorter than its real size and more reveals the face.
Elongated straight
For owners of a “square” type of face with a high forehead, a long straight bang model would be an appropriate option. In this situation, the hair should cover the eyebrows, then the face will become visually shorter. In addition, such a haircut will emphasize the eyes, emphasizing the depth of view.
Asymmetric
This hairstyle looks quite modern and creative. This option assumes the beginning of asymmetry not from the center of the forehead, but slightly away from the parting. The direction of the hair in this case can be either to the left or to the right side (it all depends on individual preferences). Asymmetry makes it possible to smooth out rough features and right angles of a “square" face shape.
Slanting
Long oblique bangs have not lost their relevance for quite some time. Such a hairstyle makes the image more delicate and feminine. For a face in the shape of a “square”, it is necessary to choose a suitable length. Hair should not hang below the chin line. Such a trick will help smooth out the “heavy” lower part of the face.
Short
Along with long models of bangs, you can use more bold, very short options. With the right haircut, the shape of the face can be visually rounded and approximated to an oval. This option assumes the presence of a slice in the form of a semicircle and combing to the side.
Clear geometric cuts, lines and shapes should be avoided.
Extra touches
The image can be made even more vivid by additionally working on the appearance of the bangs. Hair can be highlighted or colorized. In this case, you can make the color both barely noticeable and very saturated. The play of shades will distract attention from the geometry of the face and give the image additional freshness.
You can make an ordinary long bang more original with the help of profiling or “ragged” ends. This hairstyle looks modern and youthful. The "torn" model will allow you to visually adjust the shape of the face, hiding rough features.
Unsuitable Options
There are several options for bangs that should be avoided with a “square” face shape. First of all, this is a short, even option. Such a model will only increase the number of straight lines and make facial features rougher.
It is also worth avoiding excessive density, this option will make the image heavier. However, smooth and bulky bangs are also not recommended.
Too neat options for framing the face with ideal lines will not work, as this will only emphasize the right angles of the chin.
What haircuts to combine with?
The choice of one or another bang for a "square" face depends on the type of haircut. For this form, you can choose both a long and a short hairstyle. Of all the short haircuts for such a geometry of the face, the most suitable option is bob or pixie. A classic square or other shortened options with clear, even geometric shapes will not work, as they will make the image more rigid.
With short hairstyles, bangs go obliquely, which cover only one part of the forehead. Equally suitable options are asymmetry, torn ends, cascade or wavy elongated bangs.
For medium length haircuts, the most preferred option is asymmetry. The long bangs will be decorated with a long bang obliquely. To make the image lighter and more airy, it is recommended to curl hair strands slightly. Thus, you will be able to soften rough facial features, as well as make the transition from a haircut to a bangs smooth.
As already mentioned, under such circumstances it is worth avoiding even, smooth and straight bang patterns. However, it is not necessary to always wear wavy bangs: the option with slightly bent inward hair with profiled tips is allowed.
Long haircuts are the best fit for a face in the shape of a “square”, as they smooth smooth straight lines well, masking imperfections. Make the image easier and in this case, wavy hair will help.Moreover, it is not necessary to twist the strands from the very roots - curls that start approximately from the middle of the hairstyle look quite spectacular. In this case, a straight elongated fringe with twisted tips would be a suitable option.
For elongated hair, options with asymmetry and torn ends are also suitable. A short flight of stairs will work well with both straightened and curled hair. Such a bang will help to adjust the geometry of the face, giving it the shape of an oval.
Care Tips
Caring for a bang is no less important than choosing the right option. Without proper care, the hairstyle will not look spectacular enough, which can disrupt the whole appeal of the image. To give the hair the desired shape, it is recommended to carry out drying with a hairdryer and a round comb.
No need to be afraid to use special hair styling compounds. This will give the bangs the desired shape and make it more shiny. However, do not apply funds above the middle and at the roots, as this will only make the hair heavier.
Foams and styling mousses must be used in moderation, otherwise the hairstyle may deteriorate.
It is worth noting that the bangs are polluted much faster than the rest of the hairstyle. This occurs due to salting of the hair on the forehead from cosmetics, sweat, as well as from the use of styling products. Daily washing of the bangs will fix the problem of the "stale" type of hair. In this case, washing the whole head is optional.
In addition to shampoo, it is recommended to use a rinse conditioner. Alternatively, you can use a special dry shampoo, which can be purchased at a cosmetics store. You can also make a similar composition yourself.
