Styles for Women & Men with Long, Medium, and Short Hair

Layered Shag

A layered shag haircut is a fantastic way to add texture and movement to a square face. The choppy layers help to soften the jawline and create a more relaxed and edgy look. This style is suitable for women with medium to long hair and can be styled straight or wavy.


For styling, use a texturizing spray like Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray and scrunch the hair for a tousled effect. Regular trims will maintain the shape and prevent split ends.

Asymmetrical Bob for Square Faces

An asymmetrical bob is a stylish and contemporary option for square faces. The uneven lengths add interest and break up the symmetry of the face, drawing attention away from the jawline. This cut is perfect for women who want a unique and edgy look.



To style, use a smoothing serum like John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Serum to add shine and control frizz. Blow dry the hair with a round brush to enhance the asymmetrical shape.

Long Layers with Face-Framing Highlights

Long layers with face-framing highlights are an excellent choice for adding dimension and softness to a square face. The highlights draw attention to the eyes and cheekbones, while the layers add movement and reduce the heaviness of long hair. This style is suitable for women with long hair.


For maintenance, use a color-safe shampoo like Pureology Hydrate Shampoo to preserve the highlights and a lightweight conditioner to keep the hair hydrated. Regular trims will keep the layers looking fresh.

Soft Curls with Middle Part

Soft curls with a middle part are a romantic and elegant option for square faces. The middle part helps to balance the face, while the soft curls add a touch of femininity and softness. This style is ideal for women with naturally curly or wavy hair.


To achieve this look, use a curl defining mousse like Moroccanoil Curl Defining Mousse and a diffuser. Finish with a light hold hairspray to keep the curls in place without stiffness.

Wavy Lob

The wavy lob, or long bob, is a trendy and versatile hairstyle that suits square faces perfectly. The waves add movement and texture, creating a soft and feminine look that balances the strong jawline. This haircut is suitable for women with medium length hair and works well with both natural waves and styled curls.



To achieve this look, use a curling iron and a texturizing spray like Ouai Wave Spray to enhance the waves. Finish with a lightweight hairspray such as Living Proof Flex Hairspray to keep the waves in place without making them stiff.

Sleek Bob with Side Bangs

A sleek bob with side bangs is a chic and polished hairstyle that suits square faces well. The side bangs add a diagonal element that breaks up the strong jawline, while the sleek bob creates a clean and sophisticated look. This haircut is ideal for women with straight hair who prefer a low-maintenance yet stylish look.


For a smooth finish, use a flat iron and a heat protectant spray like GHD Heat Protect Spray. To keep the hair sleek and frizz-free, apply a smoothing serum such as John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Serum.

Short Crop with Layers

A short crop with layers is a bold and contemporary hairstyle that suits square faces. The layers add texture and movement, softening the angular features and creating a more balanced look. This haircut is suitable for women who prefer a short and easy-to-manage style.
