Triangle haircuts can work wonders in flattering facial structures by concealing broad forehead areas and broadening an otherwise thin jawline. Try wearing this trend with either a soft-angled bob or heavy fringe that adds definition to your hairline. Full bangs that cover your forehead do more harm than good for those with thinner face structures.
Textured Quiff
Quiffs with some textured layers are an ideal hairstyle for triangle-shaped faces, providing height while making a face appear more balanced and proportionate and look fabulous no matter the occasion or event.
To achieve this look, start off with clean, towel-dried hair. Add a small amount of pomade or hair wax and comb through to create a deep side part on one side. Comb the remaining hair back into a casual yet tidy ponytail around your occipital bone; finish this look with a spritz of hairspray to complete this style.
Classic Comb-Over
If you have long, soft hair, a classic comb-over effectively balances out a triangle face shape. A classic comb-over gives an overall more balanced appearance by adding width at the crown of your head and narrowing down that jawline. It works equally well on straight or curly textures – though longer locks work best for this look.
To achieve it yourself, start with clean, dry locks before evenly applying pomade or hair wax to each section of hair for the best results. Avoid hair that falls past the ear, as this can draw attention away from widening your cheekbone and jawline and toward removing focus to your chin instead. In addition, avoid high fades, which might reveal your chin, or long bangs that overwhelm your features; opt for a mid-to-high fade that offers subtlety while still letting you wear a full fringe or keeping hair out of your eyes while looking stylish and neat.
Messy Brush-Up
Men with non-inverted triangle facial structures generally possess wider jawlines and cheekbones while having narrower foreheads. When choosing haircuts for this face shape, the optimal approach is to expand the width of your forehead and chin while narrowing more comprehensive parts of the sides; for instance, a textured pompadour may do the trick!
Another popular style is the messy brush-up, which produces a textured and wavy appearance. Suitable for medium-to-long locks, this look is achieved by sweeping your locks upwards and to one side for an unruly finish.
Curly top hairstyles can also work wonders with this facial structure, giving it a bold yet feminine edge that complements its feminine qualities. Pair this look with an undercut to add a modern edge, or keep the sides and back shorter for more classic aesthetics. If full-length styling isn’t your cup of tea, opt for a crew cut, which still flatters triangle face shapes!
Messy Bun
An effortless, messy bun is ideal for women looking for casual-chic style on even their worst hair days. For an added fashionable edge, use texture powder on the tips of your locks before finishing off with hairspray for added hold.
This platinum wavy medium-length bob with shaded caramel highlights is a chic style that perfectly complements triangle face shapes. The curled hair edges add an eye-catching textured touch, dimension, and sexiness, creating an eye-catching and trendy aesthetic.
This cute hairstyle works beautifully on any hair but exceptionally well on wavy and curly locks with an affinity for frizz or flyaways. The loose style adds volume at the crown, which balances and complements narrower foreheads and sharp jawlines of triangular face shapes; tight hairstyles may cause traction alopecia, so be sure to switch up your styles frequently and incorporate conditioning masks into your routine for optimal results.
