The triangular face starts with a wider part at the forehead line, then gradually narrows in the eye area and passes into a sharp (or slightly rounded) chin. Often there is also such a similar type of face as a heart-shaped one, in which all lines are smoother, the chin is slightly rounded, the cheeks are pronounced, but a noticeable triangle shape is preserved. A characteristic feature of both triangular and heart-shaped faces is a "heart" at the hairline, but it may be absent.
Short haircuts for a triangular face
The main task of a hairstyle for this face shape is to transfer the volume inherent in the upper part to the lower one. Caution should be taken with shortened haircuts above the ears. Perhaps they will correct the line of the forehead, but will not add volume to the chin area. If your desire to wear a short haircut is fundamental, you can pay attention to the elongated garcon, bob or pixie.
Garcon - a short haircut that frames the face with front strands. The hair at the crown is devoid of volume, smooth lines reaching to the chin smooth out its sharpness, and oblique bangsvisually narrows the forehead. Large long earrings are suitable for such a haircut, which can add volume to the lower part of the face.
Bob - a haircut that involves the presence of strands of different lengths at the cheekbones. It not only suits this type of face, but also makes the image more sexy and charismatic.
A pixie haircut is good because, thanks to the different lengths of the strands, it corrects facial features, and at the same time gives room for imagination when choosing a certain shape (you can, for example, create volume at the crown or experiment with bangs).
Medium cuts
The triangular shape of the face is easily corrected with medium length haircuts. For example, a bob (medium length), square with an angle or graduated 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.
An angled bob is a hairstyle in which the front strands are longer than 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 bob can be considered a combination of two hairstyles - bob and cascade. That is, having formed a caret, the strands are made of different lengths. The hairstyle can be smooth or contrast depending on the processing.
Long haircuts
Lovers of long hair should 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 elongated, in the middle and lower - voluminous.laid or curled. Parting can be done straight, provided that some strands remain near the face, adding volume to the cheeks and chin.
Bangs
Separately consider the question of what should be a bang for a triangular face. First, let's remember what they are. They are divided into straight - "conservative" (which can be both long and short), oblique (elongated or shortened) and torn. For those ladies who have a triangular face, almost any shape of bangs will do. So, a straight long one will cover a wide forehead, make the proportions more balanced. Oblique (be it long or short), laid in an arc, will smooth out the angular chin and cheekbones thanks to a smooth line. Ragged will redistribute the volume in the right places.
Remember: when choosing bangs, 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 a "licked" style, and short ones should give up excessive volume and bouffant on their heads.
Hairstyles
First, it is worth remembering which hairstyles for a triangular face shape are categorically unacceptable:
- Volume and heavy strands at the crown.
- Additional volume in the temple area.
- Any high hairstyles, including combed back from the temples (while maintaining volume at the top of the head).
- Smooth tails.
- Avoid any hairstyle with fully open ears.
Now turn totips to help you choose a hairstyle for a triangular face shape:
- Give preference to curls curled 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 weaves or curls, bouffant, even perm or heat styling.
- If you want to experiment - play with styling bangs. Try laying it on different sides, slightly curling it (if it is long) or pinning it up.
- It is recommended to use hairstyles with parting on one side. On one side, the hair can be pinned or tucked behind the ear.
Triangular male face. Haircuts for its owner
Having de alt with the choice of hairstyles for the beautiful half of humanity, let's move on to men's haircuts. Firstly, they should all be based on the same principle - volume in the crown area and short hair at the temples. Bangs can be either straight or styled to one side.
Pay attention to layered haircuts that do not have sharp outlines. Help smooth facial features and graduation, thinning and blurry lines.
Having a triangular face type will suit haircuts such as British, Quiff and Canadian. Let's take a closer look at each.
The Briton appeared in the middle of the last century in America and Europe. Its main feature is long front strands and bangs, short shaved hair at the back of the head. Bangs can be laidsideways or combed.
Quiff is a less aggressive variety of Mohawk, in which the hair is not shaved short at the temples, but cut with a short flight of stairs. The height of the hairstyle depends on the desire of the man: usually, the lower the Mohawk, the shorter the hair at the temples is cut. With high options, the strands can be laid back or braided, with lower options, they can be fixed with varnish or other styling products.
Canadian is one of the most popular men's hairstyles. It is characterized by volume on the crown, in the 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 cut off, creating a fringing effect. Thinning is quite acceptable for the long part of the haircut.
Glasses for triangular faces
How to choose the right glasses for a triangular face? They focus on the upper part, the line of the eyes, so choosing them incorrectly, you risk exacerbating the situation with the proportions of the face. The best option in your case is rimless frames (if your eyesight allows), in extreme cases - solid metal rims in a neutral shade. As for the shape of the lenses, oval or rounded ones are suitable for a triangular face, rectangular ones are suitable for a heart-shaped face.
Let's turn to sunglasses. Those that have a tapered bottom shape are not your option (these include, for example, "aviators" or "wayfarers"). 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 coloring of lenses in your case is undesirable.
