Best Haircuts for Men with a Square Face

Square face shape is the manliest of all the shapes because of its strong angles on the jaw and the cheeks.

If you’re looking for a hairstyle that looks good on this shape, then short hairstyles are perfect choices. Buzz cuts and fades would be a good option too.

If you opt to go for a shorter style then you can add more volume at the center top of your head and avoid perfectly cut style or with heavy fringes since this will flaunt your strong features.

Below is the list of haircuts and hairstyle that would look good on your square shaped face.

Undercut

If you have a square face and looking for a nice haircut then go with the undercut, this will highlight the face. Keep your undercut shorter on the side since this complements your face shape.

Buzzcut

You can also try growing some beard since this will help make your look way better.

Top Knot

This style is influenced by the man bun. The hair is tied into a single knot at the top of the head and this will give some attention to your hair than your features just leave some hair hanging out.

This hairstyle is a unique hairstyle for men with square faces.

It means that one side of your head has long hair and the other side will have much shorter hair.

If you have enough courage and confidence to try this bold style then this hairstyle would totally suit you.

Pompadour

Short pompadours are the best for guys with a square face. Why? Because this gives less attention to the hair than the face, it has the same effect as the slicked back undercut. Remember that medium to long kind of pompadours will make our face longer and rectangular.

Short Back and Sides

Side Part

The side part hairstyle looks good with a square shaped face. This style is neat and classic since the sides are razored and the longer hair makes the volume when styling.

Side part hairstyle works nicely with thicker hair and this will make the styling easier. You can also ask your barber or stylist to shave a line that will make the style noticeable.

Slicked Back Undercut

Comb Over

The comb over hairstyle is a good option for guys with square faces because this will make your face a bit longer. It has narrow sides, deep division, and smooth top.

Your hair shouldn’t be so short if you want this style since long enough hair is fun to play and style with. You can use pomade and slick your hair to one side.

Close Cut

The close cut haircut is the cleanest and most simple style. This suits squared face men since this will give detail to your face.

You can also keep your top hair a bit longer and thicker. Applying wax and pomade will enhance your look depending on the style you want to choose.
