Tips & Warnings

• Groom your sideburns as needed when they appear to be too long or unruly.
• 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.
