Sideburns were invented by a man known as Ambrose Burnside. His name is where sideburns obviously came from and he kept hair from his beard connected to the hair on his head. I don’t know why the sideburns are not called burnsides though. Most men sport these by not shaving this hair on the side of their face. It was a popular look in the 70s.

sideburns are for elvis. if you have sideburns you need to keep them up well or you just look gross. most guys that i know that have sideburns are either dbags, or making fun of dbags. along with the ed hardy wearing homos….facebook fan page what
awful.
your side burns are awful.
the way the stick up in all different directions when you wake.
the fact that they are a different color than the rest of your air.
their awkward length.
they irritate me to no end.
but i love you all the same
sideburns are weird
mostly they’re on men..but some unfortunate women have them, too.
i mean, i say ‘unfortunate’, but whatever, they may like them.
i’m not fond of them, myself..
i can imagine some old guy with a monocle and a top hat having sideburns..
Katie
Do myself a favour and become the saviour of another fucked up behavior,bringg in some change make it all known from being strange.
Siddhant
I like some sideburns they can be cool, but sometimes gross. Why are they called sideburns? Do they burn the side of your head? I tried to grow sideburns, it didn’t work. I was sad.
Carl Sanders
They weren’t allowed in my school, yet I wore them anyways. I did a lot of things that went against the dress code at my school. I rarely tucked my shirt in. I did not wear a belt. The thing is…why do they make us follow pointless rules when the greatest writers were known for not following the rules?
the thing that is on the side of peoples faces and elvis had really long ones. got to love side hair. the side hair needs to be tamed sometimes. wahoo.
Chrissy
A hairy man with looooooong sideburns is looking at me. “Hey”, he says, “what do you think of my sideburns?”. “I think they’re awkward”, I respond.
soucacuca
He had long sideburns, neatly trimmed and even on both sides of his face. They accompanied his greased hair and dark sunglasses, his white tee shirt and gold cross hanging around his neck. He grinned at the young waitress, who swooned at the sight of this handsome trouble maker.
Jessie
Looking at the keys and feeling the spiked mint julep course through his cables, Jensen rubbed his growing sideburns and grizzled face. What the hell is happening to me, he thought. Maybe I should call someone. Then again, maybe the 911 station operators a might bit busy. And then he slouched down into the corner of the booth.
For men, generally associated with the South. I think they’re pretty ugly, but I guess it would depend on the person. I don’t know why I am writing about sideburns, but I suppose the point of this exercise is to wonder why you do anything.
Jean
He wasn’t handsome, but his visage called for attention; sideburns too long, the menancing smile he now wore too wide for his face.. She cowered against the alley wall, trapped like an animal in a cage. And he laughed a wicked laugh, both of them knew the ending to this story. No one escapes Jack the Ripper.
Sabrina
to be honestm sideburns are really rather strange to me. I am a girl, therefore i don’t really have the same problems as guys when it comes to sideburns. I mean, mine are always gonna be the same length, made up of long wisps of my hair. Oh, except for the time i got an undercut. Then i saw how actually downy my face was and my sideburns stood out
Anna
I hate sideburns. they make me think of Elvis’s long mutton chops and the one lone hair that grows on the side of my face. why do humans even grow hair there. they are useless
Erica
So, sideburns are an excess of hair near a man’s ears, sometimes women have sideburns but then they usually get them waxed so as to appear perfect to the opposite sex. Sideburns have been replaced by fancy moustaches worn by hipsters today. the moustache is to a hipster what side burns were to a kid in the sevenities. Side burns are funny, can be shaped differently.
maggie
From the Civil War general mr. Burnsides. He had huge sideburns and that why we call them that. Interesting bit of useless information.
Anne
I wanted these, 8-year-old that I was. Or maybe I just had them because I had so much hair, and some had to come off. I had bangs, sideburns and then all this hair just waiting to usurp the spots where there was no hair, be it cheek, jowl, nose or brow.
Sported best by Wolverine in the X men movie, they add a certain suaveness to the male specimen. Not to be tried by those of fairer hair colors.
tani
big and bushy. they came all the way down his face into his beard. he had brown hair and a red beard. girls always thought it was weird but this one always liked it. he looked like he was from the 70’s though with them. his mom always wanted him to shave them off.
Elvis introduced me to sideburns. Ever since the day the were given a name in my young seven yearold mind… I loved them. I think men look masculine with sideburns. I think that it is stylish and sexy. Girls don’t have sideburns… only men with attitude do.
Jacqueline
I find myself feeling highly indifferent about sideburns. On some people they look goodish but on others they look creepy. Wait, does everyone have them? I guess I just don’t notice these types of things.
I really love sideburns. I love facial hair in general. I think I’m just a sucker for indie boys with facial hair. Beards, mustaches, sideburns, stubble. Just so attractive. I have kick ass sideburns. Since I have an undercut. It’s all in good fun.
Sam
her sideburns are really long, like they haven’t been trimmed since she was young. they poke out from underneath her baseball cap and curl into little flares around the cap’s edge. They are thin, delicate, but very prominent.
Orly
sideburns are very attractive on the proper person. though they remind me of camels to a sense. they have an odd texture and i think of tongues… when i see them from time to time…i like to play with them. they are quite amazing i wish i could grow a whole facial beard, but for i am a chick and can not. such a shame. :)) i love the whole grease monkey look and boy howdy!!
Randi
Sideburns are icky! As long as they aren’t very noticeable, they don’t seem to be that big of a deal to me. But when a man grows out his sideburns and claims to be proud of them, it almost disgusts me because it isn’t something that is that great to be proud of. It’s like, “you hav
Emilia
His sideburns screamed “I’m too hip to be square”. No one had worn such facial hair since the late 1970’s, but he was not just anybody. His self perception was off the charts. He determined his look, and thereby his destiny.
A free-willed individual, perhaps an iconoclast is a person who would grow significant sideburns. Strict conservative people may be put off by such a display of personal freedom.
David
han hadde skinnskjegg. jeg så på ham på plakatene, på konsertvideoene. det var litt gråstenk i håret hans, og det lille fjorten år gamle hjertet mitt hoppet litt hver gang jeg så ham. en gang møtte jeg noen som kjente ham, og plutselig ble det hele litt ekkelt. forbudt. hun hadde kjent ham da de var små, og jeg klarte ikke å like henne, men jeg vet ikke om det var fordi jeg var misunnelig, eller fordi jeg ikke var det.
Jenny
A bar more full of smoke than air. The smoke itself is heavy, drunk on fumes. A broken piano sits in the corner, played by a broken man with sideburns and a cowboy hat. This is downtown.
He looked like a walrus with those things. All hair and gray and yucky. I wondered how he ate with those things on his face. Could it be that he thought he looked good like this?No way. He needed to get to a barber shop fast. I would take him there myself. Unfortunately, we were strangers.
Betsy Clemings
I once had sideburns when I was teenager but then they turned into a full beard.
Conor
Sideburns on old men with curly beards and mustaches who like to eat grilled sausages on sunday afternoons in the mossy green sunlight of their back porches while the dogs frisk in the fields and the fiddle plays on and on and on and on oh sweet love.
alfhofgr
He sat down at the counter, giving the waitress at the other end his eyes and a raised finger. A moment later, a cup of steaming coffee sat before him. He ordered a slice of cherry pie and slicked his hair back in the men’s room. As he sat back down on his stool, he unrolled his shirt sleeve and took out a pack of Marlboro. The waitress came over a second later with a clean ashtray.
“You know,” she said snapping her bubblegum. “You got everything right, except the sideburns.”
Heather
i dont understand them. They arnt attractive. Just shave it off, please. What purpose do they really serve? If your cold grow a beard or get a freaking hat. You look like a monster.
julie
I have never had side burns, thats kind of gross. You know, if my crush had sideburns i would probably shave them off in his sleep, there hairy and nasty and i just don’t approve
anna
is a literal english translation of the german word for the pains you sometimes get when you go jogging. it might be funny if used in this sense in english as it actually means something else. the german word is Seitenstechen.
J
sideburns are hot. as long as they aren’t too long and curly. nicely kept sideburns are a very good thing. I enjoy a good pair of sideburns ON A MAN. A sideburn on women is a no-no. yummmmm.
