Lecture on How to Do Sideburns

Introduction

• Sideburns are unique to each individual.
• Guidelines must be followed to achieve the best results.

Preparation

• Use a headband or clip to hold back long hair.
• Always view the face straight on when assessing sideburns.

Guidelines for Waxing

1. Determining the Waxing Area:
   • Identify the hollow where the ear hits the first hollow (after the earlobe).
   • Do not wax above this hollow; only wax from this hollow downwards.
   • Make sure to brush down any hair below the hollow.
2. Importance of Waxing Technique:
   • Waxing too high can disrupt facial symmetry and harmony.
   • Incorrect waxing can affect the perceived width of the forehead, side of the face, and alignment with eyebrows, eyes, and cheekbones.

Waxing Process

• Stretching the Skin:

  • Use index finger and thumb to stretch the skin.
  • Pull the side of the face down with the thumb.
  • Use the index finger to apply pressure and soothe.

• Using the Mascara Wand:

  • Always angle the wand; never cut straight across.
  • Follow the natural hairline.

• Blending Techniques:

  • Use stippling to blend facial hair on cheeks.
  • Create a natural faint fading effect instead of a solid line.

Considerations for Men's Beards

• Beards often reach the cheek.
• Coarse hair may require waxing.
• Apply wax, hold skin down, and pull up.
• Check the direction of hair growth (usually downwards).

Waxing Strategy

• Work in small patch areas.
• Avoid waxing the whole face or cheek at once.
• Focus on sideburns, jawline, and cheek areas separately.

Post-Waxing Care

• Apply a cold compress to the waxed area for a few minutes.
• Alternate compress application to different areas.
• After waxing, apply soothing body milk to the skin.

Conclusion

• Proper technique and care can ensure effective and aesthetically pleasing sideburns.
