Hairstyles for a Triangular Shaped Face
- People with a triangular face shape generally have a narrower forehead and a wider jawline. There are several hairstyles that work well with a triangular face shape, including those for short, medium and long hair.
- The best long hairstyles for triangular shaped face are ones that don't draw emphasis to the chin and jawline. Layers should be soft and kept loosely curled or worn straight. Never wear a style that feathers or curls near the chin or jaw, as this will only draw attention to this area. Avoid styles with heavy, side-swept bangs, as this can make the whole face appear wider. Instead, wear wispy bangs or forgo them all together. A style that's parted in the middle will also help balance out a triangular face and make the forehead seem more proportional in relation to the chin. Also, chose a style that adds volume at the crown of the head. Keep ends of hair sleek and soft instead of feathered and wispy.
- For medium-length hair, avoid layers cut sharply at the jaw line and never curl these layers outward away from the face. Instead, have the hair cut bluntly of curl the hair inward if the ends fall near the area of the chin and jaw. This will help minimize the appearance of a square or pronounced jawline. Keep the hair parted to the side or in the middle and wear heavy bangs to draw attention to the forehead and eyes instead of the jaw. Soft highlights that frame the face will also work well with a medium haircut that curls into the cheeks and jaw.
- For short hair, avoid wearing heavy bangs, as this will make the entire face seem wider and shorter than it really is. Avoid bangs all together if possible, or keep them very light, wispy and wear them gently brushed to the side. Layers should be cut heavy to make the forehead appear wider and the hair at the crown of the head appear fuller. Add volume to the top of the head and wear chunky highlights throughout to draw the eye upward.
