4. Square Face Shape - All About That Jaw

PhotobucketPhotobucket

Square shape to your face gives you a jawline fit for a queen, usually matched by the hairline. Because of this, wig hairstyles that work best are the ones that add height to the top and narrowness at the sides. You want to pick styles that create the illusion of length to the face by adding height on top and narrowness at the sides. Try a curly wig that is mid-length to long, or even one that allows for wisps of hair around your face. However, avoid one-length styles, as they only punctuate the angles created by the strong jawline.

You'll want to pick styles that emphasize the cheekbones mid-line of the face are most flattering. Bangs and waves at the temple also soften the square. Wear your best styles with hair swinging forward onto the face to reduce the angles. Hair length is best about 1-1/2" below the chin, or extending to shoulder length to reduce and soften the squareness of your jaw.

Hair worn on the forehead is always perfect for you, as long as it is wispy or fringed. Never wear straight bangs. Hair turned under at the bottom also will narrow the width of the jaw. Styles in loose curls and waves add extra dimension to the square face.

You'll notice that actress Sandra Bullock's hair is multi-length, has that soft look, and works great with that perfectly chiseled jaw.
