Getting a great haircut is not enough. Your sideburns need to look super too. If you don't want to look like a sidey, we suggest you maintain the right length of sideburns. Here's how: Short
If your sideburns are shorter than half the length of your ear, it's likely that you look like a school kid, says hair stylist Jawed Habib. But, don't sport this length if you are over 35 years of age
Great for: Men with small features
Long
Reminiscent of the Elvis era, long sideburns look hot on men with funky haircuts and unconventional dressing styles. But make sure that your sideburns aren't too bushy or you'll look the caveman tamed
Great for: Men with long faces
Mid-length
According to Jawed, sideburns that are half the length of your ear are the most common and suit most people. From long hair to the funky retro hairdo, this length is the safest to sport
Great for: Men with straight hair, as it gives them a softer look, says Jawed
Sharp / pointed
For some strange reason, this look gives you a very intelligent look. It'll look even better if you spike up your hair
Great for: Men with curly hair, suggests Jawed
No sideburns
Very few people can carry off this look, so don't try it unless you're an SRK or an Owen Wilson. Sideburns are an important feature so you might look a little funny if you roam around sans them
Great for: Men with clear skin and sharp features
Broad
If you have a haircut like Suniel Shetty, broad sideburns will look fab on you. They give you a very clean look. But, make sure you don't sport a beard with this style. A stubble is as far as you can go
Great for: Men with a well-defined or harsh jaw line
