Triangle Face Shape Celebrities, 10 Hair and Beard Looks From Tom Cruise to Rami Malek

Timothée Chalamet, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a triangle face shape.

The styling idea his profile illustrates is loose, tousled curl worn with length on top, which places visual weight at the crown and, if the curl is left full through the upper sides, at the temples too.

If you want to try it, ask for enough length on top for your curl or wave to form, with layers that remove bulk without flattening the pattern; how much length that takes depends on your curl and shrinkage, not on a fixed measurement.

The look this profile describes is clean-shaven, which leaves the jaw outline fully visible; that suits you if you like your jaw, and a beard remains an equally open choice.

Tom Cruise, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a triangle face shape.

The look this profile focuses on is a side-swept cut with some lift at the front and crown, a tidy option if you want height without a tall quiff.

To ask for something similar, request enough length on top to sweep to one side, layered so the hair lifts at the front, and say whether you want the temples kept soft or trimmed close.

Light stubble is the facial-hair option paired with this look; stubble shades the jaw outline a little without adding length or side fullness, which may or may not be the effect you want.

Tom Holland, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a triangle face shape.

The cut this profile describes is a textured crop, which means shorter length on top, cut and styled for separation, with the front either pushed up or worn slightly forward.

A textured crop suits straight or wavy hair that holds separation; with very fine hair, ask the barber to keep enough weight on top that the texture does not look sparse.

Clean-shaven with a textured crop shows that hair alone can move attention upward if that is your goal, with no beard decision needed.

Harry Styles, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a triangle face shape.

The look this profile focuses on is longer, layered hair with natural wave, which adds width and movement at the temples and upper sides when the layers are cut to sit there.

If you want that effect, ask for layers that begin around eye level or above, so fullness collects beside the forehead rather than at the jaw; longer layers that end at the jaw put fullness there instead, which is a choice rather than a mistake.

Check the result dry. If the waves collapse or frizz, the cut or the product needs adjusting, and your barber can tell you which.

Marcus Rosner, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a triangle face shape.

The look this profile focuses on is a classic cut with moderate length on top and graduated sides.

That graduation is a choice you control, and keeping the temples slightly longer than the lower sides adds a little width high up, while taking everything close gives a sharper, narrower outline above the jaw.

Light stubble kept to an even length is the facial-hair option paired with this look; whether it emphasises your jaw depends on how far the stubble runs down the neck and how defined you keep the cheek line.

Jonah Hill, pictured above, is cited on this page as an example of a triangle face shape, while The VOU’s collar guide for round faces cites him as a round-face example; neither label is a measurement, and one photograph can support more than one reading.

The look this profile focuses on is a short textured crop, a low-maintenance cut that needs little daily styling.

With a beard, side fullness and chin length are separate choices. Keeping the cheeks and jaw sides short limits added width, while leaving more length at the chin extends the lower face, and you can ask for either or both.

If your hair frizzes, a textured crop can be cut slightly longer so the texture reads as intentional; ask your barber how short your hair can go before the texture disappears.

Taylor Zakhar Perez, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a triangle face shape.

The look this profile focuses on is a fuller, voluminous style on top, which adds height at the crown; height lengthens the outline, so it suits you if you want more length above the eyes, while width at the temples is a separate request.

To ask for it, request length on top that your hair can lift, layered so it does not lie flat, and say separately how full you want the temples.

This profile pairs the volume with a clean-shaven face, leaving the hair to carry the upward emphasis.

Manny Jacinto, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a triangle face shape.

The look this profile focuses on is a textured style with height on top and the temples left soft rather than taken very close.

Height through the top and fullness at the temples do different jobs, with the first adding length above the forehead and the second adding width beside it, so decide which you want before you sit in the chair.

This profile pairs the cut with a clean-shaven face; that is one option, not a rule for a broad jaw.

Pete Davidson, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a triangle face shape, and this profile focuses on how colour and length change where the eye goes.

Bleached or lightened hair draws attention to the top of the head because it contrasts with the skin and brows; it does not change the width of your forehead, and lightening is a colour service with its own upkeep, best discussed with a colourist.

Changing length on top changes the outline more than any styling product, because longer hair that lifts adds height, while a very short cut keeps attention on the face as a whole.

A matte finish shows texture without shine; whether you prefer that to a glossy finish is a matter of taste rather than face shape.

Rami Malek, pictured above, is often cited as an example of a triangle face shape.

The look this profile focuses on is a textured cut with length on top and neat, controlled sides.

If you want some width at the temples with this cut, blow-drying the upper sides slightly outward before styling is one way to try it at home, and keeping the lower sides close stops the fullness collecting near the jaw.

Check the finished style dry, in daylight, from the front and the side; that mirror check tells you more than any description of a celebrity’s routine.
