8 Best Trendy Hairstyles For Square Faces Men in 2024

1) Comb Over Skin Fade

A Comb Over is one of the best celebrity haircuts for square face shape men. You may have seen it on Justin Timberlake, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Leonardo Dicaprio.  

Technically:

This style has a side-swept look; attainable by combing the hair to one side and matching it with a hard side.

On the plus side, you can style it to your liking and even combine it with an Undercut for added contrast and style.

2) Pompadour Fade

Notably:

Bruno Mars, David Beckham, Adam Lambert, and Miguel have all been associated with a Pompadour several times.

Now:

Men with a Pompadour stand out from the pack with plenty of shine and volume.

With this, the entire hair is styled upward and away from the forehead. Take yours up a notch with clean fades and a beard to match.

3) Ivy League

This group of haircuts for square faces men originated in Ivy League schools. They are stylish, masculine, and popular among great athletes and scholars.

Basically:

They are Crew-Cuts with longer top-front hair that’s styled to a preferred side. Depending on your judgment, you can go for Messy Ivy League cuts or Curly Ivy league styles.

Meanwhile:

There's also the modern style that gives your hair a more relaxed appearance.

4) Slicked Back Undercut

A Slick Back is ideal for men who want to look professional and simple in an interview, first day at work, or any other formal occasion.

Think of Brad Pitt in the 2014 American war movie - Fury.

Generally:

The Slicked Back Undercut is popular among square-faced men because it adds elegance to the jawline.

Now:

To achieve it, fade or cut the sides of your hair and comb the longer top backward.

5) Buzz Cut

A Buzz Cut is a gender-friendly haircut. It is a low-profile style for men and women who want to look masculine or want to regrow damaged hair.

Now get this:

This low-maintenace haircut features evenly short-trimmed hair all over the head and is sometimes paired with a Fade or an Undercut.

6) Crew Cut Fade

Unlike a Buzz Cut or a skin-level Close Cut, a Crew Cut features medium-length hair uniformly around the head. It is then combined with a Fader to look more stylish and youthful.

Always remember this:

A Crew Cut Fade could mean a Lower Fade, Medium Fade, or Lower Fade. So, it’s important to get specific when requesting a Crew Cut Fade from your barber.

Now, to the last category of the best haircuts for square face men.

AKA the Chonmage.

A Top Knot is a hybrid of long and short haircuts; where the sides and back are trimmed into shorts or fades. Then the longer top is styled backward where it is tied into a bun.

Ladies generally love men that look masculine in all shades. But while you may not have those rock-solid abs and six packs just yet, you can style a Faux Hawk as long as you have long voluminous hair.

What does it do?
