Given below are some bang hairstyles sported by famous celebrities with a square face. Look at these bang hairstyles closely if you are a square-faced female and choose your pick according to your personality, hair texture and lifestyle. 

Celebrity Olivia Wilde is quite famous for sporting different bang styles. Choppy bangs were once seen on her face with a full and straight across the forehead layout. She added a lot of choppiness to break them up and styled the rest of her hair in a high ponytail. Remember to pull out some strands of hair or bangs on both the sides to add some softness to the face.

You can even wear your side bangs a little shorter than celebrity Katie Holmes. Celebrity Mena Suvari styles them a bit shorter. These cover her entire forehead and yet are towards one side. Such bangs need to be cut from higher up the crown along with some layers on the sides to create softness around the face. This particularly looks great with a sleek long bob hairstyle.

 

Rosario Dawson was once spotted in this terrible bang hairstyle. She had cut her bangs really short which makes her face look rather weird. 

 

Sandra Bullock once came to an awards function sporting long and heavy bangs grazing her eyes. If these would have been a little shorter and grazing her eyebrows, it would have made all the difference. Such long and heavy bangs look very unflattering, and all focus draws attention to the lower side of the squarish face.

Thin and wispy bangs were seen for quite some time on celebrity Demi Moore. Thin and wispy bangs appear clumping together and do nothing to hide the vastness of the big forehead. If they were a little longer, they could have been swept on the side, but hanging on the forehead like this, as in the image below, makes a face appear too squarish.

Blunt bangs with long side bangs look like a helmet kept on a square face. The long side bangs look rather weird. Celebrity Keira Knightley was once spotted in this hairstyle, and it was a terrible idea.
