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

In an effort to visually change the shape of a square type of person, 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. This can be done with the help of certain haircuts and hairstyles.

The square face is characterized by an almost equal width and height. The forehead is low, and the width is almost the same as the width of the chin. Women who have the type of "square", usually complain of excessive rudeness, sometimes even muzhikovatost image. This is to blame for 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 a properly selected hairstyle and make-up, it is high cheekbones that become the hallmark of girls with this type of face. Thanks to clearly defined cheekbones and hiding the heavier lower part under the cheekbones, it is possible to create a sexy, expressive face.

In make-up, women with a square face shape are recommended to shift the focus to the eyes. Moreover, the majority of representatives of this type of appearance have beautiful, wide-open almond-shaped eyes. In combination with high cheekbones it turns out a strong, strong-willed, but at the same time very seductive image. The sharpness and expressiveness of facial features makes it possible to achieve uniqueness, such a girl is hard not to notice in the crowd.

Stars like Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lopez have a similar face type. It would not occur to anyone to accuse them of being rude or muzhikovosti, despite the rather massive chin, low forehead and broad face.

To determine the shape of the face is quite simple. To do this, collect the hair back or up, smoothly combing them. After this, one should approach 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 a few steps away from the mirror and take a closer look at the resulting pattern. What kind of geometric figure it will resemble, and the shape of the face refers to this type.

To make sure that the face belongs to a square one, it can be measured by a centimeter or tape in three planes - in the middle of the forehead, along the line of the cheekbones and jaw (bottom). If all the results are approximately the same (the allowable 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 up to him to strive, selecting the hair and makeup for the “square”. To do this, give the hair volume at the crown, which will visually lengthen, pull the oval. The strands falling on the sides will hide excessively protruding cheekbones. The top of the haircut should be airy, voluminous, the bottom (especially in the cheekbones and chin) - light. The asymmetry, graded and torn strands, oblique or zigzag parting, long bang on the side is welcomed.

Women with a square face type have long hair and medium length, however, they need to be laid on the side parting, can be complemented with a light fleece. Deliberate carelessness, soft waves and natural curls are welcome. Another best option is layered and cascading haircuts.

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

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

• long straight and curled hair;
• cascading haircuts for long hair and medium length;
• classic haircuts square, bob, pixie with a length below the level of the chin;
• elongated, asymmetrical car, bob, pixie;
• curls;
• various layered haircuts.

One of the main mistakes among the owners of a square face is the creation of smooth hairstyles. All kinds of bunches, ponytails, strict classic braids - all these hairstyles, as well as styling, in which the hair is smoothly combed back, should be taboo. It is necessary to refuse direct partitions, short and straight bangs, smoothing the hair on the head. Avoid hairstyles kare and others, 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 the "square". He will open his face even more, highlighting his flaws. Taboos are straight partings, geometrically adjusted haircuts, thick straight bangs, sharp, contrasting dyeing techniques.

Do not collect the entire volume of hair (do as lush as possible) in the interval from ear to chin. Because of this, the face will become disproportionate, and all the flaws of the form - visible. Long straight hair is better to provide additional volume in the area of ​​the crown. It is desirable, of course, to avoid perfectly stretched strands, it is better to give them a slight tousling or curl, otherwise the chin is heavily weighted.

An excessively heavy chin and a low forehead, characteristic of a square face type, can be balanced by curls. The volume appearing in such a case “lengthens” the crown part, which visually pulls the oval of the face. Curls falling on each side smooth out too protruding cheekbones and hide the general angularity. The important point is that the length of the hair should be below the chin line, that should be considered owners of straight hair, using curlers or curling iron for styling, because curly hair rises a little and becomes shorter.

With regard to the types 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 type of face. Mask too protruding cheekbones, because of which the face looks rough and manly, soft curls will help again, as well as elongated versions of hairstyles such as bob, pixie. You can also choose elongated car.

It is better to choose light colors - golden, chestnut, copper, ashy shades, while it is necessary to take into account the color type of appearance. It is important that the elongated bob, messi-bob and similar asymmetrical women's haircuts similar to them have been at the peak of popularity for several seasons in a row and are clearly not going to give up their fashionable positions. Such hairstyles can have a variety of styling options - from perfectly smooth hair to fluffy curls in the African style. "Intermediate" can be called light natural waves or classic curls.

The ideal styling is asymmetry. Ragged bangs, unsharp filigree, laying on one side - all this distracts attention from the heavy lower part of the face and gives the image originality, making it stylish. Side parting and lightweight bouffant at the head zone make the image softer, more romantic.

Hair of medium length, as well as long, can be cut in a cascade - with a length transition, which will make it possible to add a zest to the image and achieve the required 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 ceremonial hairstyles, then preference should be given to bouffant hair, curls. The main thing is to avoid building bulky towers on the head, which has long been unfashionable and not at all suitable for the type of person in question.

Solemn, including wedding hairstyles, can be performed using hoops or tiaras for hair. In this case, on the crown, immediately from the tiara, you should make a pile, and directly near the face leave a slanting bang or loose strands. Short or medium-length hairs can be curled; on long ones you can also create curls, a magnificent bundle, or braid a Greek braid. Girls with a square face are very tall hair, but they must be light, fluffy, somewhat careless. An excellent option would be curled strands raised with the help of studs.

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

Short haircuts for a boy (pixie, garson) are suitable for both young and more mature persons. The main thing is to provide them with basal volume, to avoid “sleek” styling and to complement the lush asymmetrical bangs. With regard to color, you should avoid sharp transitions of shades. The hair painted using the technique of ombre, shatush, clarification of individual strands of the face looks the most advantageous.

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

Short asymmetrical haircuts, unusual dyeing techniques and bold styling - all this can afford young lady, provided the right selection. Even the classic versions of a bean or a square can be made to play in a new way, choosing unusual bangs or coloring methods.

Contrary to the existing opinion that it is impossible to pick up a bang to a square person, it is erroneous. Moreover, it is with the help of bangs that you can hide your forehead too low. The main thing is to pick it up correctly. Taboos should become straight thick bangs to the middle of the forehead, as well as short analogs in the French style. The best option - this air, slanting bangs, reaching to the level of eyebrows or slightly lower. Its ends can be slightly profiled or form light waves on a long bang.

If you decide to use bangs, you should remember that its main task is to bring the square face closer to the oval. Such bangs as:

• long oblique bangs - if she gets bored, she can be profiled, twist the tips up or paint a different color, gloss over;
• a long curled fringe will add to the image of softness and femininity, will divert attention from the heavy chin;
• asymmetrical bangs, starting from the center of the forehead, will also help to look away from the massive lower part, hide excessively protruding cheekbones.

If you want to shave off the bangs, but at the same time to update the image a little, you can release a strand of hair from the face, set it obliquely and curl a little. The curl will add softness to the image, and the oblique styling will “balance” the upper and lower parts of the face, with the result that the chin will no longer seem so massive. A long asymmetrical fringe, starting closer to the ear, will help to add the look of femininity. Its length can be several centimeters above or below the chin line.

The classic square with a length at the level of the chin, complemented by a straight thick bang, will only emphasize the angularity and roughness of the face. You can correct the situation by slightly growing the length and turning the classic square into an elongated or bob on a leg with longer strands near the face. Growing bangs fashionable to collect in a deliberately careless pigtail, and the rest of the hair laid light waves.

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

In this example, the first photo shows excessive volume in the cheekbone area, because of which the face looks even wider and rougher. However, it is enough to shift the volume to the top of the head and otherwise apply hair to get a more attractive result.

The unattractiveness, the excessive rigidity of the image on 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 extending the haircut and stretching the front strands, managed to achieve the elegance of the image. Stylish haircuts, just as 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 dull and monotonous. Easy and quick to change the image will help hair styling on the side parting, and one half of it is noticeably more magnificent than the other, a small pile in the area of ​​the tops and neat curls. One of the strands near the face can be turned into a fringe, twisting its tips.

Usually, talking about a square type of person, they talk about the inadmissibility of collecting hair up or back. It should be understood that this rule applies only to smoothly collected hairstyles. If you make a light bouffant, and leave the face around and curl the strands a little, gathering the rest of the hair into a ponytail or bun, you will get a very elegant feminine look. Bouffant and strands released by 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 face type - a knot on the top of the hipster style. It is best to combine it with long flowing hair, but you can try to build on the hair of medium length. The knot draws out an oval of the face, thus balancing a heavy chin, and the slightly curled strands that fall 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 be, as if assembled in a hurry, a little careless.

Straight long hair can be added with shorter hair in the crown part or long bangs, diagonally laid on two sides of the face.

For medium-length hair, it is better to choose a cascading haircut. Strands long below the chin conceal its massiveness and angularity, and the side parting hides the cheekbones, drawing attention to the eyes.

An even shorter hair variant is an asymmetrical bob that 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, due to which it immediately becomes less prominent and noticeable.

Light and elastic curls give the image emancipation, elegance, as well as significantly younger face. The image turns out not dull, but at the same time quite strict, thorough.
