Square Face Bangs for Women

Fringe choices for a square face: which bangs balance the proportions, which ones fight them.

What works

Soft wispy or curtain bangs round the corners of the jaw.
Side-swept fringe breaks the broad forehead's horizontal line.
Airy, piece-y texture keeps angles from stacking on angles.

What to skip

Sharp geometric heavy fringe — a straight line on a square forehead multiplies the square.

Why this works on your shape

Round the corners: waves, curves and oval frame shapes offset the strong horizontal jawline.
