Triangular Face Hairstyles
What about women whose face shape is a triangle? What haircut is suitable for the triangle face shape? Should you wear bangs, a middle part, long hair, short hair? This is what we are going to talk about in this blog post dedicated to triangular face hairstyles!
What is a Triangular face
Also known as the pyramid face, the triangle face is an easily identifiable face shape. However, its shape is less common than a square face, a long face or a round face. We even see inverted triangle faces more often than triangle faces.
Triangle faces are known for having a small forehead compared to their jaw, which is rather wide.
What hairstyle should you choose when you have a triangular shaped face?
–Volume on the top of the head
You should choose a hairstyle that does not further emphasize the lower part of the face, which is already prominent in relation to the forehead. This way, you will instantly soften your features. Concretely, you will have to turn to hairstyles which therefore add volume to the top of the head at the temples.
–A slightly unstructured haircut
Whatever the length of your hair, avoid overly structured cuts like the strict bob. Opt for a wavy hairstyle or curls in your hair. In reality, anything that can give you a play of volumes contrasting with the lower part of the face will benefit your face shape. The volume will soften your features while straight hair will emphasize your angular contours at the jawline.
Among the most trendy hairstyles of the moment, you can opt for a blurred bob or a layered cut which frees the lower part of the face while making it slimmer.
The right hair length
With a triangle face, there’s no denying that certain lengths are more flattering than others. Short cuts above the ears and cuts that are too long below the shoulders are not the most suitable. Between these two lengths, a mid-length haircut will then be ideal, as long as you give it volume around the time. It will also be necessary to refine slightly and subtly at the neck and ears. This is why the famous long and fuzzy plunging bob is the way to go.
If you really want to have long hair, it’s not impossible. You will simply have to make sure to layer the bottom from the ears. It is especially short cuts that should be avoided.
Hairstyles to avoid with a triangular face
You will have understood, a bad choice of hairstyle can be dangerous for the harmony of your beautiful face. If you opt for hairstyles that emphasize the jaws, you will accentuate the imbalance already present. For example, very short cuts like the pixie haircut should be avoided. It will only highlight your jawline.
Smooth and straight cuts will also highlight the difference between the top and bottom of the face. It is better to choose a cut that provides volume, rather than finesse. It’s all about contrast. Without contrast in the hairstyle, it will be difficult to rebalance the shape of the face.
What bangs for a triangular face?
The answer is simple: it’s better to avoid bangs with your face shape! Yes, we know, bangs are in fashion. But which do you prefer? A good face highlighted without bangs or a face whose hairstyle is not optimal because of bangs?
As said above, triangle faces need to emphasize their narrow forehead to highlight it. They especially do not need to camouflage their small forehead under thick bangs, which would accentuate the imbalance.
To give movement and volume to the top of the head, use the side parting, but do not camouflage your forehead (even with thin, tapered bangs).
