30 Flattering Hairstyles for Women with Triangle Face Shapes

The triangle face shape has distinct features, and finding hairstyles that complement it is a smart approach. Stylists recommend paying the most attention to the hairstyles that balance the broader or narrow jawline by adding volume or width at the temples. Also, haircuts with soft layers and side-swept bangs work well.

1. Shaggy Cut with Bangs

Achieving the right balance with bangs is the key to accentuating triangle face shapes. In this style a feathered fringe is accompanied by voluminous layers, thus elongating the whole silhouette and distracting attention from the width of cheekbones.

3. Layered Curls and Feathered Bangs

Determining whether your jawline is soft or angular is an essential step in understanding your facial features and choosing hairstyles that complement your face shape. So, for example, angular jawlines like this can be softened with longer layered styles like the one made by Dougllas Dias from The Art Salon.
