So you have your haircut down, but you’re stuck on the question of “to sideburn or not to sideburn?” It can be tricky to know which style to go with, let alone whether you want one. Don’t worry – we’ve put together some tips and tricks for achieving the perfect polished look.
Choosing the ideal sideburn style begins with understanding your face shape. Oval faces suit most styles, while round faces benefit from longer styles to elongate the face. Square faces can be softened with wider, longer sideburns, and rectangular or oblong faces look better with shorter sideburns to balance facial length.
Medium-length sideburns add width to heart-shaped faces, and diamond-shaped faces are complemented by medium to long sideburns to balance wider cheekbones. Your hair type also matters; straight hair is easy to style, curly or wavy hair adds texture but needs more maintenance, thick hair requires frequent trimming, and thin hair suits shorter styles.
To maintain neat sideburns, trim them every one to two weeks. Use quality clippers or scissors for precision, starting with a longer guard to avoid cutting too much. Define the edges with a razor or trimmer for clean lines where the sideburns meet your hairline and ears, ensuring symmetry by checking both sides in the mirror. Blend your sideburns with your haircut; if unsure, ask your barber for assistance on how to trim sideburns during your haircut for a cohesive look.
Incorporate sideburn care products into your daily routine by washing and conditioning them to keep them clean and soft. Use a mild shampoo and conditioner for longer or thicker hair. Moisturize with a light moisturizer or beard oil to keep the hair and skin hydrated, preventing dryness and itching. Exfoliate your skin regularly to avoid ingrown hairs. If maintaining it is challenging, visit a barber regularly to ensure your styled sideburns stay perfectly shaped and trimmed.
