Also, leaving out a few soft pieces around the face will help balance out your triangle. Updos + Chignons: You can do almost any updo, chignon or pony when you have an inverted triangle face shape.You want layers, especially around the face. All that’s going to do is make your face appear longer and more narrow. Super straight hair with minimal layers: That would be the one style I would suggest girls with inverted triangle face shapes should avoid.That way there’s hair on both sides but it still appears that you’re wearing a heavy side part. Use a tailcomb or a pencil if you don’t have a tailcomb, and start slightly off center, working your way over to a deep side part. See how Anja’s hair is parted diagonally in the bottom right photo? If all that hair was pulled to one side it would likely make the forehead appear wider. Diagonal side part: This is a great trick.Everything just looks in perfect proportion. The side bang leads into layers which do exactly what is mentioned above– widens the cheekbone/jawline and diffuses the width of the forehead. The reason is, you can typically get great texture and layers in a bob or long bob. Also one of the most flattering, softening, balancing cuts for this face shape. Wavy bob + bangs: This is one of my favorite haircuts for the inverted triangle face shape.I always tell my clients “style your bangs in the direction of your ears.” You want that hair from the center part to then lead into some sort of layers near your cheekbones. You don’t want your bangs or layers to be styled “down”, you want them to be styled “out” once they pass your eyes/eyebrows. Center parting: The key to center parting on an inverted triangle face shape is not letting it lengthen you.I would even say you could get away with a half-moon bang in this post as long as it’s got some soft roundness to it and it’s not just a blunt, straight across, heavy bang. I would recommend something similar to Alexa’s long bangs, Brigitte’s “curtain bangs” which are essentially short and long bangs combined, or this heavy side swoop bang. Avoid a heavy straight-across bang only because it could potentially make your face even more triangular. Obviously if you want to embrace the forehead you’ve got and not have bangs– do it, girl! On the other hand, if you want the option to show a wider forehead sometimes and narrow the appearance of your forehead other times, you’ll need some sort of bang. Bangs: Almost every single girl I know with an inverted triangle face shape loooooves having bangs and will never give them up.I like that the “baby hairs” just above her temples are not pulled back into the braids– they’re down and it’s just enough to help diffuse the width of her forehead. Gotta love a good illusion! I think the key with Anja’s look on the bottom left is that the hair is wavy and that she has a center part. A half updo can narrow the forehead + widen the look of your cheekbones + jawline. Half ups: I love half updos for girls with inverted triangle face shapes.Here are some helpful hints from me to you: That’s pretty easy to do, but you also want to avoid making the face look longer and more narrow when doing so. Most of my clients with an inverted triangle face shape ask me to make their forehead appear less wide. Knowing that you can clearly see (thanks to Polish beauty Anja Rubik) that an inverted triangle face shape is wider at the forehead than it is at the jaw. Last but clearly not least in our hair talk on face shapes we have the inverted triangle.(Hooray!!) Inverted is just a fancy way of saying “upside down” or “flipped”.
