What are sideburns and how to grow them?

Many are accustomed to the fact that a mustache and a beard are an important part of the brutal image of a man. But somehow everyone forgot about the sideburns. Some argue that they have long gone out of fashion, and in general are uncomfortable. But this is a wrong statement. In fact, sideburns are a very modern masculine feature that gives the image of its owner a touch of solidity and uniqueness.

Men with sideburns attract the attention of others, especially the fair sex. Ladies believe that they emphasize the sexuality of the male image. After all, even science has proven that men with a lot of body hair produce a lot of testosterone in the body, which means that they are the most passionate sexual partners.

The history of sideburns began in the 18th century in England. Everett Burnside became the founder of the style. He assured that sideburns are the future of fashion trends. The "highlight" of the style represented by Everett was the models connected with the mustache. Thus, a continuous line of hairs was drawn, while the chin had to remain clean-shaven.

Gradually, the fashion for sideburns reached Germany, and then ended up in Russia. The Russian people took the new trend of fashion with great interest. Many famous people began to grow sideburns. For example, the great Russian writer A.S. Pushkin.

In the 19th century, several styles of growing sideburns were distinguished. Roman Empire implied splicing a sideburn with a haircut on the head. English required that the hairs of the models lengthen, respectively, lagging behind the cheeks. Of course, a lot of time has passed since then, and the style has changed in many ways.

In the modern world, sideburns are a sign of a man's solidity, emphasizing his high status in society. However, few representatives of the stronger sex are ready to grow them on their faces. For most men, these options are a thing of the past.

Experienced specialists will be able to give recommendations to every man who wants to complement his image with sideburns. For some, the option of combining with a mustache is suitable, on others the connection with a beard will look beautiful. Other options for growing are possible, for example, a complete combination of sideburns, mustaches and beards, or the presence of only the former.

Today, many stars of Russian and foreign show business grow sideburns. And after all, such vegetation looks exquisite and unique on them. But ordinary men are no worse. Just one trip to the barbershop for a consultation, and you can safely start growing "tanks".

Many representatives of the stronger sex are sure that sideburns are a relic of the past, and not a single modern man will grow additional vegetation on his face. Someone thinks that "tanks" look defiant, others are sure that it is very difficult to take care of them, and not everyone will agree to spend money on trips to the master.

Unfortunately, when growing sideburns, representatives of the stronger sex do not pay too much attention to the hairline and features of the face oval. They simply "wear" additional facial hair, and in fact it often looks unpresentable.

Short sideburns are suitable for those with a round face. Men with a narrow elongated face should let go of their sideburns. Representatives of the stronger sex with a non-standard square face should consider options for "tanks" of a wide shape and medium length.

To date, fashionable stylists and barbers have developed several models and styles of sideburns. Each development ideally matches the images of gallant gentlemen, it remains only to choose the most appropriate option.

• Checking hormonal levels. It is important to get tested for hormones. The lack of active growth of facial hair is probably due to low testosterone levels.

• Follicle transplant. This is the most extreme way to deal with hair loss. It is used only when all the previously presented methods have proved to be ineffective.

Only when the hairs, passing from the temples to the mustache and beard, have grown to the required length, can you begin to create the appropriate shape of the sideburns. It's about trimming, shaving and modeling facial hair.

These same tools are an easy way to fix the design of overgrown sideburns.

In order for the sideburns to always have an impeccable look, it is necessary to carry out grooming procedures on a regular basis.

• Daily wash. The hair on the head is usually washed with shampoo. Sideburns - the same hair as on the other part of the body, only it has an individual structure.If you neglect to wash with shampoo, after a few weeks itching will appear, the hair itself will lose shine, volume, and will seem dry and lifeless.
• Regular brushing. Sideburns, regardless of length, must be brushed every day. Use combs or combs with fine teeth as a grooming tool.
• Shaving. Having created an appropriate hairstyle from sideburns, mustache and beard, you will have to regularly maintain its design. If necessary, shave areas of the face that should be smooth.
