Haircuts for a triangle face

Widest at the jaw, with a forehead narrower than the jaw.

What balances it

Volume at the crown and temples, and soft layers that fall past the jaw, balance a jaw wider than the forehead.

What makes the outline stronger

Short, flat sides and volume around the chin make the jaw look wider. That is a choice, not a mistake: some people want their face shape to stand out.
