Hair Style is the final tip-off whether or not a woman really knows herself.

Square Face Shape

Square and sexy. Some of the sexiest women share this face shape: Keira Knightly, Jessica Alba, and Jessica Simpson, to name a few. Square face shapes have a strong square jawline with an equally square forehead. For square face shapes, try a shorter to medium length style with soft layers framing the face. This will soften the strong squareness of the jawbone. Soft and wispy fringe, full bang, or side bang will minimize a wider forehead. Wearing a side part will balance the face's symmetry. Also height is important. It doesn't have to be a bouffant, but having a little extra body to the hair style will add roundness. Short hair can be worn well with a square face, as long as it is past the jawbone and and there is layering to add texture and body to the hair. Long Hair can look great on someone with a square face. When going with a longer style, make sure to have long layering in the hair, face framing layers around the face, and a side bang or wispy bangs. Avoid a middle part. This is the most unflattering look you could have with a square face shape. Remember square face shapes are extremely strong, so we need add softness to feminize our look.
