The face of any geometric shape has its own characteristics that must be considered when choosing the right hairstyle. The “square” shape is considered to be quite complex, but a properly chosen bang can easily hide unsightly features and highlight its merits. The article will discuss what kind of bangs are suitable for the “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 rough and "heavy." To adjust this shape and make the image more refined, you need to correctly choose the hairstyle. The bang is important.
Which is better?
There is an opinion that only those haircuts that do not have bangs are suitable for owners of a “square” face. However, this is not the case. There are many options bangs that are able to decorate the "square" face. In this case there are no restrictions in choosing the length of the bang, it all depends on the haircut and personal preferences of the owner of this type of appearance.
Bulk
The owners of lush strands fit bulk and curly bangs. If the hair is naturally straight, this can be fixed with the help of curling irons. Smooth, wavy hair lines smooth out the rough shape of the face and make the image softer. This bang is ideal for women with low forehead.
It is worth remembering that the twisted bang visually becomes shorter than its real size and opens its face more.
Long straight
For owners of "square" type of person with a high forehead, a long straight model of a bang would be a suitable option. In this situation, the hair should cover the eyebrows, then the face will become less visually. In addition, this haircut will focus on the eyes, emphasizing the depth of the look.
Asymmetrical
This hairstyle looks pretty modern and creative. This option implies 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 allows you to smooth out the rough features and right angles of the "square" face.
Oblique
Long oblique fringe has not lost its relevance for quite a long time. This hairstyle makes the image more gentle and feminine. For a face in the shape of a "square" it is necessary to choose the appropriate length. Hair should not hang below the chin line. This trick will help smooth out the "heavy" lower part of the face.
Short
Along with long models of bangs, you can use more daring, very short options. With proper haircut, the shape of the face can be visually rounded and closer to the oval. This option assumes the presence of a cut in the form of a semicircle and combing on the side.
Clear geometric cuts, lines and shapes should be avoided.
Additional touches
The image can be made even brighter, after additional work on the appearance of bangs. Hair can be polished or colorized. In this case, you can make the color as barely noticeable, and very rich. The game 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 “torn” ends. This hairstyle looks modern and youth. "Torn" model will visually adjust the shape of the face, hiding coarse features.
Unsuitable options
There are several choices that should be avoided when the face is “square”. First of all, it is a short flat option. Such a model will only increase the number of straight lines and make the facial features more coarse.
Also, avoid excessive thickness, this option will make the image heavier. However, smooth and loose bangs are also not recommended.
Too neat framing of the face with perfect lines will not work either, as this will only emphasize the right angles of the chin.
What haircuts to combine?
The choice of one or another bang for a “square” face depends on the type of haircut. For this form, you can choose both long and short hair. Of all the short haircuts for such face geometry, the most suitable option is bob or pixie. Classic quads or other shortened versions with clear, even geometric shapes will not work, as they will make the image more rigid.
Short hairstyles combine well with bangs diagonally, which cover only one part of the forehead. Equally suitable options are asymmetry, “torn” tips, cascade or wavy elongated bangs.
For medium-length haircuts, asymmetry will be the most preferred option. The long bob hairstyle will be decorated with a long bangs diagonally.

Thus, you will be able to soften the rough features of the face, as well as make the transition from haircuts to bangs smooth.
As already mentioned, in such circumstances, you should avoid even, smooth and straight models of bangs. However, it is not necessary to always wear a wavy bang: an option with slightly curled inside hair with profiled tips is allowed.

Moreover, twisting the strands is not necessarily from the very roots - curls that start from about the middle of the hairstyle look pretty impressive. In this case, a suitable option would be a straight elongated bang with twisted tips.
For long hair also suitable options with asymmetry and "torn" ends. Ladder will be well combined with both straightened and curled hair. Such bangs will help to correct the geometry of the face, giving it the outline of an oval.
