Finding the Best Men's Hairstyles For Triangular Face Shapes

By Marsudi Suwarnaadi
With the ever growing male grooming trend continuing, it can be a challenge to decide which hairstyle to go for. What is seldom appreciated when looking for a new cut, is to match it to the shape of your face. With this in mind, it can be a little tricky if you are looking at hairstyles for triangular face shape types.

A triangular face shape is defined by the growing width of the face from temple to chin. As a result, it is important to select hairstyles that do not draw overstated attention to the lower half of the face.

Taking some time out to consult with a good barber or professional hair-stylist could help you look at options you not have originally thought of. However, if the expense of this is not practical, there are some key tips you should follow.

As a rule, longer hair should be avoided. However, depending on the bone structure of your cheekbones and neckline, you could certainly go for something mid-range - that tapers out towards the nape of the neck.

In the main, anyone with a triangular face should stick to something very short, and close cropped. This will accentuate your strong brow, and draw the eyes of whomever you are talking to, to your own eyes. It can also help make you look younger, as there is minimal shadow falling across the face - with their being little or no fringe line. Consider Justin Timberlake for inspiration with this.

For a more ambitious approach with hairstyles for triangular face shape, layering can work extremely well. This brings body to the hair, whilst allowing for strands to fall naturally over the face. It is important to have such a cut professionally styled however, to avoid giving too much weight to the entire facial area.
