Reasons every guy over the age of 10 must have sideburns:
1) They frame your face.
Would you put a photo that’s important to you on a shelf without a frame? Maybe, but the picture won’t attract any positive attention because without a frame it keeps falling over, or the edges start to curl, or the color gets warped. But, put a nice frame around the photo, and the photo takes on a whole different meaning. People will stop and look. Same goes for your face, put the proper frame around it, aka sideburns, and you’ll look like the best version of yourself.
2) No matter the haircut style, always have a side burn.
I don’t care weather you have long flowing locks or a number one all over. No haircut style can go without a sideburn.
3) Length matters.
The length of the sideburn matters. When I tell you to grow a sideburn, I am visualizing a certain length I consider to be the “perfect” length. That perfect length can be found by using the following method: Take a look at the inside of your ear- it has a little circular notch at the bottom. The bottom of that notch is where your sideburn should end. That is where you bring the edge of your razor to when you are shaving. That’s my perfect length on almost everyone, but the answer is yes, there are other acceptable lengths, none of which go above halfway up the ear. You can never go wrong with my “perfect” length but if you go just above or just below my perfect length, it’s cool. ps. I don’t know what’s worse though, no sideburn or a sideburn that was cut too short. Either of the two are my worst nightmare.
4) Depth/density matters.
By depth/density, I mean how thick are the sideburns I’m telling you to have. Keep your sideburn depth in check. The hair should be cut and blended tight to the face. Enough density to see the sideburn shape but close enough to the face that in a week you wont have peyot.
5) Width matters.
Don’t EVER shave into your sideburns to make them thinner.
I can’t even talk about those toothpick sideburns I see guys walking around with. That’s like whole next level shit. I can’t begin to get involved with talking about what I feel is wrong with that. To me, a natural shaped sideburn is the only sideburn to have. By natural shaped sideburn, I mean the way the sideburn grows naturally next to the ear before what we would consider to be your beard hair. Thin out the depth but always leave the natural width. Some guys have more width than others in their burns, and that’s ok. Natural is always the way.
6) You do have hair to grow a sideburn, even if you think you don’t.
Even if you can’t grow a beard. Even if throughout your whole life you never thought you had enough hair to fill in a sideburn, let whatever hair is there grow.
7) Everyone will start to comment that you look better.
They’ll probably say “Have you lost weight?” “Are you tan?” “Did you get laid last night?” When in reality all you have done is grow a fucking sideburn.[ATTACH=full]20151[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]20152[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]20151[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]20152[/ATTACH]
