Best men's hairstyles for a triangle face.
If your face reads triangle, these are the cuts that balance it. Each one links through to a full guide with barber instructions and styling steps.
Brush Back
A brush back sweeps all the hair on top backwards, away from the forehead, with no part and no shine. It is the matte, textured cousin of the slick back. How much lift you build at the front decides whether you are wearing the loose, the short or the voluminous version.
Curly Top with Taper
This cut keeps your natural curls full on top while the sides are shortened with scissors instead of clippers. The result is soft and rounded rather than sharp.
French Crop
The French crop is a short cut with a blunt fringe pushed forward onto the forehead and short, tapered or faded sides. The top is cut choppy, so it looks messy on purpose.
Fringe
A fringe is a haircut where the front hair is left longer than the sides and worn over your forehead, across it, or pushed back off it. It is one of the easiest ways to change the shape of your face, and there are five main versions to choose from.
Medium Layered Cut
The medium layered cut keeps your hair around ear to collar length, with layers cut through it to remove bulk. It is a simple, versatile shape rather than a bold statement. The same layering works short and messy, or swept to one side.
Pompadour
The pompadour is length at the front swept up and back into a rounded shape, with short sides for contrast. It is the boldest of the classic cuts. This guide covers all four versions, from the full modern pompadour down to the short one you can style in five minutes.
Shag
The shag is a medium-length cut built from choppy layers, shortest near the crown and longest at the back, with a soft fringe at the front. It is meant to look lived-in rather than groomed.
