Haircuts for the "square" face: secrets and tips for choosing

In an effort to visually change the shape of the square type of faces, they usually try to bring it closer to the oval. To do this, you need to slightly stretch your face and hide excessively protruding, sharp angular parts of the face. You can do this with the help of certain haircuts and hairstyles.

A square-shaped face is characterized by almost equal width and height. The forehead is low, and in width - almost the same with the width of the chin. Women of the “square” type usually complain of excessive rudeness, sometimes even a manly image. This is due to a rather massive chin, which is almost equal in width to the width of the forehead, as well as too pronounced cheekbones.

By the way, with the right hair and makeup, it is high cheekbones that become the hallmark of girls with this type of face. Thanks to the clearly defined cheekbones and hiding the heavier lower part under the cheekbones, it is possible to create a sexy, expressive face.

In makeup, women with a square-shaped face are recommended to shift their focus to the eyes. Moreover, most of the representatives of this type of appearance have beautiful, wide-open almond-shaped eyes. In combination with high cheekbones, you get a strong, strong-willed, but at the same time very seductive image. The sharpness and expressiveness of facial features allows you to achieve uniqueness, such a girl is hard to miss in the crowd.

A similar type of face is possessed by such stars as Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lopez. It would never occur to anyone to blame them for being rude or manly, despite a rather massive chin, a low forehead and a wide face.

Determining the shape of the face is quite simple.To do this, you need to collect the hair back or up, combing it smoothly. After this, go to the mirror and circle the oval of the face reflected in it. This can be done, for example, with a dark cosmetic pencil or felt-tip pen. Then you should move away from the mirror a few steps and carefully look at the resulting picture. What geometric shape he will remind, the face shape belongs to this type.

To make sure that the face is square, allows measuring it with a centimeter or tape in three planes - in the middle of the forehead, along the line of the cheekbones and jaw (lower). If all the results are approximately the same (the permissible difference is no more than 1 cm), then the face is considered square.

The oval face is considered to be the most harmonious, therefore it is to him that you should strive, choosing a hairstyle, as well as makeup for the "square". To do this, give the hair a volume at the crown that will visually lengthen, stretch the oval. Flowing strands on the sides will hide overhanging cheekbones. The top of the haircut should be airy, voluminous, the bottom (especially in the area of ​​the cheekbones and chin) - light. Asymmetry, graded and torn strands, oblique or zigzag parting, long bangs to the side are welcome.

Women with a square type of face have long hair and medium length, however, they need to be laid sideways and can be complemented with a light pile. Deliberate negligence, soft waves and natural curls are welcome. Another optimal option is layered and cascading haircuts.

By the way, the hair length for a caret or an extended bean for square faces is also determined.

Owners of a square type of face can choose one of the following types of haircuts and styling:

• long straight and curly hair;
• cascading haircuts on long hair and medium length;
• classic haircuts bob, bob, pixie with a length below the level of the chin;
• elongated, asymmetric caret, bean, pixie;
• curls;
• various layered haircuts.

One of the main mistakes among the owners of a square face is the creation of smooth hairstyles. All sorts of bunches, ponytail, strict classic braids - all these hairstyles, as well as styling, in which the hair is combed smoothly back, should become a taboo. Refuse should be from direct parting, short and straight bangs, smoothing hair on the head. Hairstyles and others should be avoided if their length is at the level of the earlobe or chin.

Too short haircuts for a boy are also a very unfortunate option for a “square”. He will open his face even more, highlighting his shortcomings. Taboo are straight parting, geometrically verified haircuts, thick straight bangs, sharp, contrasting dyeing techniques.

Do not collect the entire volume of hair (make it as lush as possible) in the interval from the ear to the chin. Because of this, the face will become disproportionate, and all the flaws of the form will be noticeable. Long straight hair is better to provide additional volume in the crown. It is advisable, of course, to avoid perfectly elongated strands, it is better to give them a slight disheveled or curled, otherwise the chin is heavier weighting.

To balance an excessively heavy chin and a low forehead, characteristic of a square type of face, curls allow. The volume appearing in this case “lengthens” the crown part, which visually stretches the oval of the face. Curls falling on the sides smooth out overhanging cheekbones and conceal the overall angularity. An important point - the length of the hair should be below the line of the chin, which should be considered for owners of straight hair using curlers or curling irons for styling, because curled hair rises a little and becomes shorter.

As for the varieties of curls, then women are given absolute freedom of choice. Soft and large curls, small curls in the African style, elegant waves in the spirit of retro or slightly wavy disheveled styling - they all look equally impressive with a square face. To mask too prominent cheekbones, because of which the face looks rough and masculine, soft curls will help again, as well as elongated options for hairstyles such as bob and pixie. You can also choose an elongated square.

It is better to choose colors light - golden, chestnut, copper, ashy shades, while it is worth considering the color type of appearance. It is important that it is the elongated caret, messi-bob and similar asymmetrical female haircuts that have been at the peak of popularity for several consecutive seasons and are clearly not going to give up their fashionable positions. Such hairstyles can have many styling options - from perfectly smooth hair to magnificent curls in an African style. “Intermediate” can be called light natural waves or classic curls.

Perfect styling is asymmetry. Torn bangs, blurry thinning, laying on one side - all this distracts attention from the heavy lower part of the face and gives the image an originality, making it stylish. A side parting and a light pile on the crown of the head make the image softer, more romantic.

Medium-length and long hair can be cut in a cascade - with a transition of length, which will allow you to add a twist to the image and achieve the necessary volume. It is no coincidence that this method is recommended for those who have long but thin hair that looks flat.

If we are talking about solemn hairstyles, then preference should be given to bouffant, curls. The main thing is to avoid building bulky towers on the head, which has long been unfashionable and completely not suitable for the type of person under consideration.

Solemn, including wedding hairstyles, can be performed using hoops or hair tiaras. In this case, on the top of the head, immediately from the diadem, a fleece should be done, and right next to the face leave a slanting bang or loose strands. Short or medium length hair can be curled, long curls can also form curls, a fluffy bun or braid a Greek braid. High-hairstyles are very suitable for girls with a square face shape, but at the same time they should be light, lush, somewhat careless. A great option will be curled strands raised with the help of hairpins.

Long, flowing hair on the sides are considered an excellent option for owners of a square-shaped face. However, after about 30-35 years, such styling is not recommended, because they look unnatural, and not every woman with age boasts long and thick, well-groomed hair. At a more mature age, preference should be given to medium-length hair, as well as short haircuts. The best option would be an elongated bob or square, as well as short asymmetric haircuts with volume in the temples and a long beveled bang.

Short haircuts for a boy (pixie, garson) are suitable for both young and more mature women. The main thing is to ensure their basal volume, to avoid “sleek” styling and complement with a magnificent asymmetric bangs. As for the color, sharp transitions of shades should be avoided.The most advantageous look is hair dyed using the ombre technique, shatush, lightening individual strands in the face.

Young ladies unlimited in the choice of haircuts and hairstyles. If nature has endowed healthy hair, you can wear long hair, combing it a little on the top or forming curls. Another option is long straight hair, which also allows you to “lengthen” the face and hide all the “corners”.

Short asymmetric haircuts, unusual coloring techniques and bold styling - all this can be afforded by young ladies, provided that they are correctly selected. Even the classic variations of the bean or square can be made to play in a new way, choosing unusual shapes of bangs or methods of coloring.

Contrary to the current view that it is impossible to pick up a bang to a square face, it is a mistake. Moreover, it is with the help of a bang that you can hide a too low forehead. The main thing is to choose it correctly. Taboo should be straight thick bangs to the middle of the forehead, as well as short counterparts in the French style. The best option is an airy, slanting fringe, reaching the level of the eyebrows or slightly lower. Its ends can be slightly profiled or form light waves on a long bang.

If you decide to use a bang, you should remember, its main task is to bring the square face to the oval. In the best way, such types of bangs can cope with this, such as:

• long oblique bangs - if she suddenly gets bored, she can be profiled, twisted the tips up or painted in a different color, marked out;
• long curled bangs will bring softness and femininity to the image, will distract attention from a heavy chin;
• asymmetric bangs starting from the center of the forehead will also help to look away from the massive lower part, hide overly protruding cheekbones.

If you want to cut your bangs, but at the same time renew the look a little, you can let out a lock of hair near your face, lay it obliquely and curl a little. The curl will bring softness to the image, and the oblique styling will “balance” the upper and lower parts of the face, as a result of which the chin will no longer seem so massive. A long asymmetric bang, starting closer to the ear, will also help add femininity. Its length can be several centimeters above or below the line of the chin.

A classic square with a length at the level of the chin, complemented by a straight thick bang, will only emphasize the angularity and rudeness of the face. You can correct the situation by slightly increasing the length and turning the classic square into an elongated one or a legged bean with longer strands on the face. It is fashionable to collect regrowing bangs into a deliberately careless pigtail, and lay the rest of the hair with light waves.

An unsuccessful square can be turned into a classic bean by changing the length and adding a stylish asymmetric bang to the image.

In this example, the first photo shows excessive volume in the area of ​​the cheekbones, which makes the face look even wider and rougher. However, it is enough to shift the volume to the crown and otherwise style the hair to get a more attractive result.

The unattractiveness, excessive rigidity of the image in the first photo of the next selection is the wrong length of the haircut, it was just at the level of the wide part of the chin and cheeks. Slightly lengthening the haircut and stretching the front strands, managed to achieve the elegance of the image. Stylish haircuts just like in this case always add personality to the image.

Straight hair of medium length is a pretty good option for owners of a square face.However, such styling can look boring and monotonous. Easy and quick to change the image will help styling the hair on a parting, one half of which is noticeably more magnificent than the other, a small pile in the top of the head and neat curls. One of the strands near the face can be turned into a bang, twisting its ends.

Usually, when talking about a square type of face, they say about inadmissibility to collect hair up or back. It should be understood that this rule applies only to smoothly collected hairstyles. If you make a light pile, and leave strands around the face and curl a little, collecting the rest of the hair in a tail or a bun, you will get a very elegant feminine image. The fleece and released strands on the face themselves look soft and romantic, in addition, they hide the imperfections of the “square”.

Below is another version of the collected hair with a square type of face - this is a knot on the crown in the style of hipsters. It is best to combine it with long loose hair, but you can try to build on medium-length hair. The knot extends the oval of the face, thereby balancing the heavy chin, and the slightly curled locks falling on the sides hide the “corners” of the cheekbones. When creating such a hairstyle, one should not strive for its perfect execution, let the knot, as if collected hastily, be a little careless.

Straight long hair can be supplemented with shorter hair at the crown of the head or with a long bang, laid obliquely on two sides of the face.

For medium length hair, it’s best to choose a cascading haircut. Strands with a length below the chin conceal its massiveness and angularity, and a side part hides the cheekbones, drawing attention to the eyes.

An even shorter version of the hair is an asymmetric bean, which looks equally attractive on both straight and curled hair. One of the sides of this creative haircut has a length slightly higher than the level of the chin, and the second is lower, so that it immediately becomes less prominent and noticeable.

Light and elastic curls give the image of emancipation, elegance, as well as noticeably young face. The image is boring, but at the same time quite strict, thorough.
