A square face can be offset by a thinned bob. A thinned bob is basically a bob that tapers at the end, right around your jaw line. To style this haircut, spray on some heat protectant to reduce the damage on your hair, then flatiron the ends of your hair. The Pantene Pro-V Heat Protection Spray is a great product that shields your hair from heat damage while still promoting shine.

An easy way to offset a square face is to deemphasize the jaw, and a haircut that you can try is the tousled shag. With a tousled shag, the many layers with differing lengths can help divert attention away from the jaw. To make the layers more defined, try the Bumble and Bumble Styling Creme.

Going off of the same principle as the previous hairstyle, this hairstyle can deemphasize any squareness in the jaw. The only difference is that this hairstyle utilizes waves instead of layers. By putting waves in your hair below the ears, attention gets taken away from the jaw. The Ouidad Wave Create Sea Spray is a great product to do just that.

If you're not into wavy hair, long, straight hair is the way to go. The length will help soften the hard lines of a square jaw. A nice part also draws attention away from the squareness. The Living Proof Straight Spray is a great product if you opt for a long and straight hairstyle.
