What styling choice is recommended for a square face shape?

  1. Shorten the face

  2. Create volume in the area between the temples and jaw

  3. Flatten hair at the top

  4. Sleek, pulled-back styles

The correct answer is: Create volume in the area between the temples and jaw

For a square face shape, it is recommended to create volume in the area between the temples and jaw. This is because the other options, shortening the face, flattening hair at the top, and choosing sleek, pulled-back styles, can emphasize the angular features of a square face shape. By creating volume between the temples and jaw, it helps to soften and balance out the angles of the face, creating a more flattering and balanced look.
