Bangs can be a very good and practical option for square faces. Bangs are cute, sweet, and always trendy. Every year the world goes crazy for at least one hairstyle with bangs. But at the end of the day, the best thing to do is to go for a hairstyle that best suits your face shape and taste.
That is why we have prepared the best bangs hairstyles for women with square faces along with a few additional tips.
Best Bangs for Women with Square Face
If you don’t want to experiment too much, a safe choice that would definitely look amazing is asymmetrical, side-swept bangs. These will make your forehead look less wide and soften your facial features.
Another good choice is bangs that are thinned out. That way you avoid that boxy effect that bangs can have while also covering the forehead.
But if you are a fan of bangs and you’re not insecure about your face shape, go with straight bangs that are cut diagonally on the sides. This will create a slight ‘A’ shape. They are extremely sexy and they will emphasize your features beautifully.
How to Style Bangs for Square Faces with Glasses
Think about the little details. If you want to wear glasses and bangs, and you have a square face, you should find a proper way to match them together.
Tip 1: Choose the right shape of glasses. You can’t change the shape of your face, and why would you want to when so many women would kill for that sexy, strong jawline? But you can make sure that the other lines framing your face are soft to contrast the harsher lines.
Choose glasses that are more oval or round, and make sure they are not too big so that your face can still come through.
Tip 2: Speaking of avoiding harsh lines – opt for bangs that have some texture to them. They could be asymmetrical, messy, or simply thin, but definitely try to avoid those perfectly straight, thick bangs, as combined with glasses they might not look so flattering.
Tip 3: Add some texture to your hair too. Add some gentle, natural waves, a bun, a half updo, or whatever comes to mind. Your hair doesn’t have to be straightened to perfection.
