Triangle head hair, often referred to as a "pyramid head" shape, is a hairstyle characterized by a narrow, flat top that gradually widens towards the ends, creating a triangular silhouette. This is often a concern for people with curly hair.
Understanding Triangle Hair
The distinctive triangular shape is created when hair is flat or less voluminous at the crown, gradually increasing in volume towards the base of the hair, resulting in the widening. This shape is often more visible on curly or wavy hair textures. The reference likens it to Hermione Granger circa 2001, whose hair was known for having such a shape, and the infamous Pyramid Head which highlights the specific widening.
Characteristics of Triangle Hair:
- Flat Crown: The hair sits close to the scalp at the top, lacking volume.
- Widening Shape: The hair widens significantly towards the ends, resulting in the triangular silhouette.
- Lack of Volume at the Roots: There is minimal lift or body at the top of the head.
- Heavier at the Bottom: Hair appears denser and bushier towards the ends, contributing to the triangle look.
- Often Seen in Curly Hair: This shape is more pronounced with curly hair patterns, due to curl's natural weight and pull.
How to Avoid Triangle Hair?
It is often a result of a few factors, and it can be avoided by implementing these techniques:
- Layering: Adding layers to the hair will create volume and reduce the density of the hair at the ends.
- Root Lift: Techniques that lift the roots, such as using volumizing products or a root-lifting diffuser, can help to create a more balanced shape.
- Appropriate Haircuts: Certain haircuts are more likely to cause the triangle shape. It's best to get a consultation with a stylist about the type of cut that will enhance the natural shape of hair.
- Proper Styling: Use styling products and methods that encourage lift at the root and definition through all hair.
Why Does it Happen?
- Weight of Hair: Hair, especially when long, can weigh down the roots, causing it to fall flat.
- One-Length Haircuts: Cuts with no layering can lead to a heavier bottom.
- Hair Texture: Curly and wavy hair can naturally create a triangle shape if not styled correctly, due to its natural coil and tendency to form more volume in this particular shape.
