Triangular face
A strong, wide jaw line with rather narrow cheekbones and forehead – the triangular shaped face is the inverse of the heart shape. It often looks very energetic and dynamic, and the styling objective is to create a balance to the jaw line, thus bringing out the best in your features.
Go for:
Styles that are full at the temple and get narrower towards the chin – you can achieve fullness at the top of the head with lots of layers and structure. Add volume and width to the upper part of your face to emphasize the beauty of your eyes and forehead: it’s easily done with a good blow-dry and a little volumizing product. Curly-heads can opt for cuts ending at the jaw line – and if you don’t have curls, you can easily create them with a curler.
Better avoid:
Long, full hairstyles over-emphasize your jaw line, letting it appear overbearing. Don’t cut your hair too short, either, since that would draw attention away from your cheeks and forehead, making them appear narrow. If you have short hair, consider letting it grow and adding body and structure to the upper part with curls. Avoid centre partings – off-centre styles are more flattering.
