How to Do Sideburns

Introduction

• Sideburns are unique and vary by individual.
• There are specific guidelines for creating harmonious sideburns.

Guidelines for Sideburns

• Face Positioning: Look at the face straight on.
• Hair Management: Use a headband or clip to keep long hair back.
• Waxing Guidelines:
  • Do not wax above the "hollow" of the ear.
  • Wax only from the hollow down to avoid disrupting facial symmetry.
  • Waxing too high can make the face, eyes, or forehead appear too wide and disrupt alignment with eyebrows and cheekbones.

Waxing Technique

• Preparation:
  • Pull down hair below the hollow.
  • Use an index finger and thumb to stretch the skin.
  • Use a mascara wand at an angle, not straight across.
• Application:
  • Wax in small patches.
  • Follow the natural angle of hair growth to maintain a natural look.
  • Blend facial hair on cheeks using stippling to avoid harsh lines.

Special Considerations

• Some individuals may have coarse hair on cheeks or areas where men's beards grow.
• Wax these areas carefully, ensuring to hold the skin down when removing wax.

Post-Waxing Care

• Apply a cold compress to waxed areas for a few minutes.
• Repeat on the other side or area as needed.
• Finish with a soothing body milk after removing the compress.
