Besides shaving your sideburns, consider trimming them and then waxing them. You could also purchase an epilator or a hair removal cream to get rid of your sideburns.

Yes, if you shave your sideburns they will grow back. Shaving is a temporary method for removing hair. It will likely begin to grow back within 1-2 weeks.

It depends on what looks you like and what you are comfortable with. Pork chop type sideburns combined with short hair can give your look a very feminine soft touch, as long as you're trimming them properly. However, if you want a more edgy buzz type of haircut, then you can use a clipper or razor to get rid of the sideburns.

Try using a razor. It won't scratch your skin as much but will still remove the hair.

Question

Can you use homemade materials to remove the hair?

Community Answer

You can make your own wax-like paste with sugar (1 tbs), lemon (1 tsp), and honey (1 tsp), heat it in the microwave, and use it just as you would the wax in a store bought kit.

Question

How can you hide it if you shave too much of your sideburns?

Community Answer

Shaving your sideburns is usually a bad idea because it can be very easy to accidentally shave too much off. If you have long hair, wearing it down so it covers the sides of your face can help hide a shaving accident.

Question

How do I keep a natural shape while using hair removal cream?

Community Answer

For a natural look, use your natural hairline as a guide when you're applying the cream -- but use a little less of the cream than you think that you need. You can always remove a little more if necessary, but once you've removed the hair, you'll have to wait for it to grow back.

Question

Will using a hair removal cream make the sideburns thicker?

Community Answer

No. It may appear thicker or thinner when it returns, but it will actually remain the same.

Question

Why do we need to remove sideburns? Aren't they natural?

Community Answer

That's correct, sideburns are totally natural, and it's fine if you don't want to remove them. Some girls feel more comfortable without sideburns, and others don't mind them. Whatever makes you feel beautiful!

Question

Do your sideburns grow back after waxing them ?

Maggie

Community Answer

Hair does grow back after waxing, it just takes longer to grow back than shaving. If you wax the hair continuously, eventually the hair follicles will die.

Question

By mistake I removed my sideburns. I used a shaving machine but look not nice. What do I do to look normal again?

Emery Cailin

Top Answerer

All hair grows back if you cut it or shave it off, and knowing now that you don't like how it looks shaved, you can avoid that next time. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do right now except wait for the sideburns to grow back.

Question

Can you get rid of your sideburns at any age?

Emery Cailin

Top Answerer

Yes. Although if you're particularly young, you may want to ask for help the first few times, and if you're older, your skin may have loosened and you'll have to be more careful with any razor-based form of sideburn removal.
