With a triangular face shape the object is to narrow your chin and widen your forehead.

The right hairstyle for your triangular face shape.
“Shorter is generally better than longer. Avoid any
hairstyle which will draw too much attention to your chin area such as
straight solid bob cuts.”
This
short layered hairstyle is perfect in how it puts hair exactly where
it's needed to make our models triangular face shape look balanced and
proportional. The heavy top layers allow hair to be rounder and
fuller above the ears, while no bangs make the face shape appear longer,
bringing attention to the forehead and away from the jaw line.
This
short hairstyle is the perfect example of what doesn't suit
triangular faces. For a start, the bangs are heavy forward falling and
in the eyes. This makes the overall shape of the face appear to be
shorter and wider. Worse still, due to the sides being layered in short,
the jaw area actually appears larger and wider than it really is. The
geometry is all wrong as our image shows very well.
This
is a very nice hairstyle shape which suits our models triangular face
shape to a tee. The sides fall softly onto and away from the jaw line
creating cover in the right places, and the side swept bangs work
well to create diagonal direction drawing attention to the eyes. The zig
zag part creates some height and builds length into the look, while
an all over rounded shape frames the face nicely.
Too
wide, too square! This hairstyle is the worst possible shape for
triangular faces. The sides only make the jaw area, which is already
large naturally, look even wider and bigger. The heavy bangs make the
face shape appear even shorter and wider which leads the eye to the
sides and width once more! The hairstyle follows the actual shape of a
triangular face shape instead of compensating and adjusting it.
This
long soft wavy hairstyle is a nice look and a great example of how to
design a hairstyle that will suit triangular face shapes. The soft
waves have a naturally soft appearance that falls nicely due to the
layering. The middle part also helps to top divide the face into two
long narrow portions to create the illusion of length. This shape will
work in straight and curly textures.
Another
good example of the wrong hairstyle on the wrong face shape!
Triangular faces are pear shape and are narrowest at the top forehead
region and widest at the jaw line chin area. This hairstyle follows that
same shape. This style kicks out at the bottom and sides and only
draws further attention to the jaw region, while the heavy bangs,
although to the side, still make the face look shorter and wider.
