Short hairstyles are all the rage right now but consider your face shape before you go chop-chop. A blunt cut that ends right at the chin will add more volume and make your face appear squarer. Instead, go for a slightly longer cut, one that ends slightly above your shoulder.

Bangs flatter square face shape, but avoid a straight cut fringe as it will only enhance the squareness of your face. Asymmetrical bangs in varying lengths or curtain bangs are your best bet.
