The triangular face begins with a wider part on the forehead line, then gradually narrows in the eye area and goes into a sharp (or slightly rounded) chin. Such a similar type of face as a heart-shaped one is often distinguished, in which all lines are smoother, the chin is slightly rounded, the cheeks are pronounced, but a noticeable shape of the triangle is preserved. A characteristic feature of both a triangular and a heart-shaped face is the “heart” of the hairline, but it may also be absent.
Short haircuts for a triangular face
The main task of hairstyles for this face shape is to transfer the volume inherent in the upper part to the lower. Care should be taken to shortened haircuts above the ears. Perhaps they will adjust the forehead line, but will not add volume in the area of the chin. If your desire to wear a short haircut is important, you can pay attention to the elongated garzon, bob or pixie.
Garson is a short haircut framing his face with front strands. The hair on the top of the head is deprived of volume, smooth lines reaching the chin smooth out its sharpness, and the slanting bangs visually narrows the forehead. For such a haircut fit large long earrings that can add volume to the lower part of the face.
Bob - a haircut, suggesting the presence of strands of different lengths on the cheekbones. She not only suits this type of face, but also makes the image more sexy and charismatic.
A pixie haircut is good because, due to the different lengths of the strands, it corrects facial features, and at the same time gives scope for imagination when choosing a particular shape (you can, for example, create a volume on the crown or experiment with a bang).
Medium length haircuts
The triangular shape of the face is easily adjusted with medium-length haircuts. For example, a bob (medium length), a square with a corner or graded will help create volume in the lower part of the face. Remember: the parting should be exclusively oblique, so you visually reduce the wide forehead.
A square with a corner is a hairstyle in which the front strands are longer in comparison with the back ones. With the help of such a haircut, the neck opens, and the cheekbones and cheeks remain slightly covered, which visually evens out the proportions.
Graduated caret can be considered the combination of two hairstyles - caret and cascade. That is, having formed a square, the strands are made of different lengths. The hairstyle can turn out smooth or contrast depending on processing.
Long haircuts
Lovers of long hair need to pay attention to the cascade (starting around the earlobes). The main thing is that the hair in the upper third of the face should be stretched out, in the middle and lower - volumetricly laid or curled. Parting can be done straightforward, provided that some strands remain on the face, adding volume in the area of the cheeks and chin.
Bang
Separately, we consider the question of what should be a bang for a triangular face. First, remember what they are. They are divided into straight lines - “conservative” (which can be both long and short), oblique (elongated or shortened) and lacerated. For those ladies who have a triangular face, almost any form of bangs is suitable. So, a straight long one will cover a wide forehead, make the proportions more balanced. An oblique (whether it is long or short), laid in an arc, will smooth the angular chin and cheekbones thanks to a smooth line. Torn redistribute the volume in the necessary places.
Remember: when choosing a bang, you must be guided not only by the shape of the face, but also by the proportions of the body. For example, tall girls will not fit the “licked” style, and low girls should refuse excessive volume and fleece on their heads.
Hairstyles
Firstly, it is worth remembering which hairstyles for a triangular face shape are categorically unacceptable:
- Volumetric and heavy strands on the crown.
- Additional volume in the field of temples.
- Any high hairstyles, including combing back from the temples (while maintaining the volume in the upper part of the head).
- Smooth tails.
- Avoid any hairstyles with your ears fully open.
Now we turn to the recommendations that will help when choosing a hairstyle for a triangular face shape:
- Give preference to curls inward. They should be soft and weightless. Curl them from the middle of the head.
- Create volume preferably in the lower part: starting from the cheekbones and going down to the chin and below. You can use large weaving or curls, comb, even a perm or a thermo-laying.
- I want to experiment - play with styling bangs. Try laying it on different sides, curling it slightly (if it is elongated) or stabbing it.
- The use of hairstyles with parting on one side is recommended. On the one hand, the hair can be fixed or laid over the ear.
Triangular male face. Haircuts for its owner
Having dealt with the choice of hairstyles for the beautiful half of humanity, we turn to men's haircuts. Firstly, they should all be based on a single principle - volume in the crown area and short hair on the temples. The bangs can be either straight or laid on one side.
Pay attention to multilayer haircuts that do not have sharp outlines. They will help smooth facial features and graduation, thinning and blurry lines.
Holders of a triangular type of face are also suitable for haircuts such as British, Quiff and Canadian. Let us dwell on each.
The British appeared in the middle of the last century in America and Europe. Its main feature is long front locks and bangs, short-shaven hair at the back of the head. The bangs can be laid to the side or combed.
Quiff is a less aggressive variety of mohawk, in which the hair is not shaved briefly at the temples, but is trimmed with a ladder. The height of the hairstyle depends on the desire of the man: usually, the lower the mohawk, the shorter the hair cut at the temples. With high options, the strands can be laid back or braided, with lower ones - fixed with varnish or other styling means.
Canada is one of the most popular men's hairstyles. It is characterized by volume on the crown of the head, frontal part, short hair on the crown, temples and back of the head, which are usually treated with a machine. The transition between short and long hair should be smooth. The strands on the neck are trimmed, creating a fringing effect. Thinning is quite acceptable for the long part of the haircut.
Triangular face glasses
How to choose glasses for a triangular face? They focus on the upper part, the line of the eyes, so choosing them incorrectly, you risk aggravating the situation with the proportions of the face. The best option in your case is rimless frames (if vision allows), in extreme cases, solid-rimmed metal in a neutral shade. As for the shape of the lenses, oval or rounded ones are suitable for a triangular face, and rectangular for a heart-shaped one.
Turn to the sunglasses. Those that have a narrower shape below - not your option (these include, for example, "aviators" or "weifarers"). Pay attention to the grandees (let it be "dragonflies" or "butterflies"). The color of the frame should not be bright and attract additional attention, but its lower part can be contrasting. Gradient staining of the lenses in your case is undesirable.
General recommendations
Do you have a triangular face shape? Take the following recommendations:
- Do not focus on eyebrows: too broad or bright can make the frontal part visually wider. But at the same time, they can be slightly lengthened, then the upper part of the face will not stand out against the background of other details.
- The main task of the headgear in your case is to hide a wide forehead. Fitted or wide-brimmed hats will work. They should also partially or completely cover the forehead. Narrow models should be discarded.
- Do you have a triangular face? Then, snoods and volume knit scarves are perfect for you. Lay them in tight rings around the neck. An additional horizontal will expand the lower part of the head.
- Girls should choose elongated rounded or oval earrings. Reaching the chin line, they will add extra volume.
Thus, if you have a triangular face, you should not worry. Listen to the tips, and you can smooth out the angular features. You just have to choose the right haircut and accessories, and you will visually balance the proportions.
