Face shape fit
Wearing this with a triangle face
The shape
A triangle face — sometimes called pear-shaped — is narrowest at the forehead and widest at the jaw. The lower face carries the weight, and the jawline is the most defined feature.
Works to explore
Crown lift, layered cuts and fullness near the temples are options to explore when you want more visual weight above the jaw.
Be careful with
A heavy blunt perimeter at the jaw or a flat crown creates a lower-weighted silhouette. Choose it if that graphic shape suits your style.

How to achieve it
Prep the roots with dry shampoo or texture spray, gather the hair high, and secure the bun without pulling it too tight. Leave a few soft pieces near the hairline to keep the shape flattering and undone.
