Explore hairstyles for square faces women over 50 would wish to embrace!
If you have angular features with a wide hairline and jawline, you can pick hairstyles just following the trends or get a haircut that accentuates your appearance. These hairstyles for square faces over 50 will suit you perfectly!
Long waves always work well for faces with angular features, as they may soften them, allowing you to embrace your femininity. The beauty of this strawberry golden blonde hue is clearly breathtaking as well. So, if you aim to make a statement with your new look – you know what to ask your stylist for!

Round-shaped haircuts are a good choice for faces with angular features as they are supposed to make them look softer and more delicate. For this layered bob, dry cut your hair to give the perm a pleasant shape and definition. Complement the look with babylights to bring a golden glow to your dark brown curls.

A blunt bob, which is narrow on the sides and paired with cute textured bangs, is a good option for your face shape. Besides, short and sleek looks require minimal styling. You can apply some leave-in conditioner on damp hair, which will smooth your strands after they air dry, or straighten them with a flat iron.

Square-shaped faces benefit from hairstyles that provide height and volume on top, so this side-parted layered bob will work amazingly for your features. Flattering for all hair types and textures, it will look especially gorgeous when paired with natural curls.

Pixies are all about texture and movement, which is great for faces with angular features, as the voluminous top helps balance the squareness of your face. For lightweight styling, use a texturizing spray; alternatively, create spikes with a mousse for a bolder statement.

We believe your hairstyle truly represents how you feel about yourself on the inside, and this classic bob is best to showcase your grace and elegance. The bangs that graze the eyebrows soften square face shapes and bring charming allure.

Smoothed hair, whether shoulder-length or longer, lengthens your face, diverting attention from a wide jawline. Face-framing highlights will also visually add more volume to your straight locks, thus balancing your features. Yet, considering bleached hair needs special care, we recommend using color-safe shampoo hairs, conditioners, and masks.

When choosing a haircut for a wide jawline, pick the length between the chin and collarbone, as it won’t draw attention to the jawline. Choppy bangs and textured wavy layers will also play a great balancing role, adding more texture and height to the crown.
@modestspotcarrillo
By shifting the focal point toward the top of your face, for example, your gorgeous eyes, rather than the bottom, you can soften your square jaw. This is where a voluminous blowout is of use, which you can create at home using a volumizing spray and a blow dryer.
@charlesjuniorlouw
A shoulder-length bob can elongate your neck and visually break the squareness of your jawline. This haircut matches any partings but if it involves subtle layers, you will benefit more from a deep side part that adds volume to fine, straight tresses.
@alisonallvess
The long pixie featuring feathered layers and thick textured bangs will bring attention to the eyes, making you forget about the wide jaw. Accentuate this hairstyle with bright blonde highlights to make your hair voluminous and textured, and cover the grays if needed.
@beto_fariaa
Short haircuts with asymmetry work well for your type of face as they move the accents away from angular features and visually elongate the face. A side parting and layering will also allow you to achieve a voluminous top and make layers the focal point of your look. To make it slightly messy and dynamic, tousle your hair and apply a texturizing spray.

Curls tend to soften the face’s features and bring charming harmony to any appearance. But if it’s a curly bob with curly bangs – you’ve found the look you’d like to stay with for at least some time, until you aim to try something else.
@vitosatalino_official
Flowing medium or long hair is already a good choice for those with square face shapes. But if you incorporate wispy layers and face-framing bangs, you are going to end up with an ideal look for embracing your femininity and charming allure.
@patrizia_dessardo
By parting your hair to the side, you can bring extra volume to the crown, which is a good trick for women with thin hair. If you aim to infuse subtle layers into your locks, make sure they don’t start at the chin, as it will emphasize your jawline.
@charlesjuniorlouw
Rounded bobs maintain a nice edge flattering for those with a square-shaped chin. The bangs swept to the side will also harmonize your features by switching the emphasis from the chin to the forehead and eyes.
@charlenexavier1
Choppy, textured haircuts add an edgy flair to the style and overall appearance. Ask for the razored bangs and front layers for a soft, face-framing effect that balances angular facial features.
@we_professional
