This short hairstyle flatters teenagers, as well as the woman over 50 looking to a hide her receding hairline with a youthful and beautiful hairstyle.
  
  

Angle-Softening Curls

• Wear soft curls for a romantic evening dinner or for a Sunday brunch with friends. "The loose ringlets help to balance out your face's boxiness," reports Marie Claire magazine.
  
  To give your curls extra movement, ask the stylist to create long layers in your hair. For a loose and romantic hairstyle that softens a wide forehead or angular jar, create soft curls with a curling iron. In high humidity, create frizz-free curls by coating dry strands with an anti-frizz serum and a heat-activated treatment before curling your hair.
  
  

Medium or Long Layers with Bangs

• Medium-length or long hair doesn't have to be boring. In fact, long layers that hit near the shoulders are a versatile hairstyle that highlights your face shape perfectly.Shoulder-length layers soften the strong angles of your rectangle face shape. For a long straight look, tease hair with a rattail comb to add height to the crown while reducing the appearance of a boxy face shape. To minimize your broad forehead, pair medium-length hair with flattering diagonal bangs and tousled curls to create a romantic look.
