Wavy Bob
Soft, undone waves in a mid-length bob add roundness right at the jawline, the exact spot that benefits most on a square face. It's a low-maintenance style that photographs well and transitions easily from day to night.

Wearing this with a square face
A square face has a broad forehead, straight sides and a defined, angular jaw that's close in width to the forehead. The corners are sharp rather than curved, and the length and width are similar.
Curtain bangs, wispy layers and waves near the jaw are good references when you want movement around the face.
A blunt bob at jaw level or a heavy straight fringe creates a more graphic outline. Choose it deliberately if that is the look you enjoy.
Would face-framing layers or a blunt perimeter suit my natural texture and the amount of styling I want to do?

Create soft bends with a wide-barrel wand or round brush, keeping the front pieces directed away from the face. Brush through once cool and finish with flexible spray so the layers keep movement.
