    Tips & Warnings

    • Trimmers designed specifically for use on facial hair work well for trimming sideburns. Other trimmers can be too large and make trimming sideburns difficult.

    • You can also trim your sideburns using scissors and a comb. Follow the steps outlined in this article substituting the scissors for the electric trimmers.

    • Trim sideburns in front of a mirror. This will help guide you and allow you to see what you are doing.
