Exciting New Trends In Sideburns

Exciting New Trends In Sideburns

1. Sausages.
As the name suggests, these are 'burns which curve. Beginning vertically at the ear, they sweep majestically away from the jaw-line, becoming horizontal towards the upper lip, culminating in a rounded point.

2. The Lightning Strike.
A 30's art-deco look, these begin at the ear, initially maintaining the standard 'burn line until they dogleg, then come to a point, resembling nothing so much as their namesake.

3. Hot Eggs In Bed.
Today the trend is away from straight. In much the same way as Sausages, Hot Eggs In Bed follow a curved path down from the ear then back up, with the effect being essentially a big hairy egg leaning with the small pointy end at the top of the ear.

4. Zulus At Dawn
A 'burn in honor of the Battle of Roark's Drift. Victorian England is the look here chaps, so start growing! One of the newer freeform 'burn categories.

5. The Gentleman's Excuse-Me.
Perhaps the most daring of all new-wave 'burn styles, this is a standard rectangular (or "Johnnyboy") 'burn, the hairs of which have been grown significantly longer than that style generally dictates, then waxed to a horizontal point.
