Best Haircuts For A Triangle Face (Men)
A triangle face has a narrower forehead and a wider jaw. The goal is the opposite of a round face: add volume and width up top to balance the stronger lower half.
Best cuts
Build volume on top: a pompadour, quiff, or textured crop with height adds width at the forehead and balances a wider jaw. Fuller styles up top are your friend.
What to avoid
Avoid very tight sides combined with flat tops, which makes the jaw look even wider by contrast. Skip styles that keep all the bulk low.
How to ask your barber
Ask for height and volume on top with sides that are not shaved too aggressively. Say you want to balance a wider jaw with more width up top.
Styling and upkeep
Style upward and outward for volume. A medium-to-strong hold product and regular trims keep the top full and balanced.
