Managing my sideburns (and optionally the short hair in the neck) also greatly motivate me to keep growing it out. A mayor concern to me was that long hair doesnt look "presentable" and looks kinda lazy, but a quick 10 minutes every 2 weeks or so makes a massive difference and motivates me to not cut it all short! Almost two years growing now!

Thank you, I am 61 and I am growing my hair out after decades of short crop hair. The only thing bothering me is my sideburns. I watched your video and cut them. I think it looks better thank you.

I'm always worried that I'll accidentally end up trimming some of the longer hairs when trimming sideburns, but, you make it look easy lol

I love this dude. Thank you for the tutorial. It was informative, helpful, and entertaining.

Thank you!! I have long hair and I was always super worried about trimming my sideburns myself this video quickly made that feeling go away

I loved this video thanks. I do the same thing, only difference I like to cut the “wings” the same length as my beard, which my sideburns area is no more than a 1/4” long then tapers longer towards my chin. Cutting off the “wings” even FEELS better and cleaner. I didn’t even know about the wings at first, and just tried to tuck them away lol after cutting them I’m discovered how clean it looked, now I see this video and this proves it looks so much better cut!

Man, You don’t know how much Your tips saved my life thank goodness! Way to go man You got a sub!!!

Thank you for this video just what I needed!!!. I have to trim my sides as well

Just keep growing Martin! You’ll have long hair in no time!

Thank you very much. I don't really know how to cut my long thick hair, I always get a buzzcut. Now I can test this method out on my own. I really want to grow out my hair...

Needed this!

Appreciate this video so much!!!!!

This is helpful. I now know how to fix the "wings." Thanks

Thanks for posting.

Thanks you so so much just what I needed lots of love from India💛

This helped a lot

Thanks for the tips! Just starting to grow my hair out for the first time and the wings have been killing me.

Thanks man, you’re such a life saver!👍

Any advice on defining that line between actual long hair and sideburns as the hair grows out?

Will try!

I needed this!

Thank you Chris Pontius

Have you done a video on the neck line trim?

I love these videos

This beat hard. Who produced it?

Wow! Can't believe 5 years have passed since the older sideburn video. Time goes so fast.

Thank you so much by the way 🙏

Epic video as always

I have super long hair I get it braided before I ride the Harley and it does help with tangled hair but it still gets tangled is there any spray or something you can recommend that can help with the knots and tangled hair shampoo and conditioner doesn’t seem to help either

thank you bro

The Viking God has RETURNED!!!!?

I need to this today, my wings make me look like I'm about to take off at any moment!

Just trimmed mine tonight!

Awesome video mate:)

Nice one 👌🏼

how do you trim the sideburns while you are growing out your hair?

Wow, finally someone who has a beard like mine. Much thicker on the left side, right? Wonder if you have any videos about that…

Thank you

Fun story. I’m growing my hair out and had massive awful wings like this because I’ve always had no idea where my head hair ended and beard hair began. So I mulled it over in my head and did exactly what you did here, and now I’m thanking god I did it right lol. Tucked the long hair back behind my ears and went up there exactly as you did with a 5mm guard. It came out looking so nice and now I won’t have goofy wings when I wear my hats with my hair tucked behind my ears. 👍🏻

I have very thick hair, including my sideburns. Should I just grow my sideburns out to be the same length as the rest of my hair?

Gonna try it this upcoming weekend. Wish me luck and I'll update when done. Any tips before then is greatly appreciate.

This is actually cutting off your side burns and chopping off some of your long hair. If you grew your side burns out and then lined them up you would see what I’m talking about.

Is that from “Long Hair” by Weedd (Filipino band) on the background?

Tried the method it works pretty well just need some practice, kinda messed up my right side but i can cover it up a bit so not all is bad

First time growing my hair out, sideburns driving me nuts, this is the first video google search suggests. I dunno if I did a great job, but the situation is lots better that's for sure.

Love your humor bro, some jim carrey, Chris Farley, Robin Williams slapstick shit, big ups

I usually just tie the hair back, and hold the side hair out of the way with one hand, while I buzz/trim the sideburns with my other hand. Pretty much get the same result. I'll have to keep the "no guard" step in mind next time tho.

I'm still in the early stages of growing out my hair and I have massive "wings" but the problem is I cannot grow sideburns. So it looks very BAD if i were to cut the wings. I'm kind of stuck wondering if I should even do this at all now because I look so poor with a patchy ugly beard and it looks weird if I were to pull my hair back behind my ears and there's no hair there.

I cannot wait to have long hair and a ponytail. It will feel so rewarding. This was really great information on sideburns.

Mine get curly and I been rocking them long for years and just tuck them behind my ears. Glasses help keep them pinned back, but I started wearing contacts more and having too many blowouts. Did this with scissors today and instantly looks better when pulled back

I’ve only used tiny scissors. I’ll have to give this a try.

I wear glasses any tips if you have?

I pretty much used scissors to trim mine when I was growing my hair, and funny how I find a tutorial from this channel 6 months ago and 6 years ago.

You look great!

1:33 Christian Bale role transformations are wild.

Dude, it's easier if you keep SOME length in the sideburns. I use a 7mm guard and touch them up once every couple of weeks. It takes like 2 minutes. Then every once in a while I fade some of the medium hairs above my sideburns, which looks pretty cool. THAT idea might be worth another video.

if i cut some of my long hairs on accident will they grow back to the same length as my other long hair or am i stuck having short hairs on the side of my head the rest of my life

I vibe to that technique 🤔👍

thx for the vid but i think i went way to far up on my sideburns without the guard and now its just so bald

I hate sideburn wings! Thank u for ur channel

Boom was satisfying

In the process of growing my hair out…. Seven months and going strong in the awkward phase. I wish I would have watched this before I tried to do my normal sideburn beard blending technique. At about the three month mark I ended up hacking into my hair a bit and it looked pretty awful. I tried to wait it out to see if it would grow out a bit and look better but unfortunately there was just no saving it. I had to go to my barber and get it blended. With the combination of me hacking into my hair and the blending I lost a few precious months of hard earned growing. Super frustrating at the seven month mark, because my hair should be starting to go over my ears and it just doesn’t. I definitely set myself back a few months from being able to tie my hair back and getting out of the awkward stage. My advice to anybody growing from a buzz cut that also keeps a beard is just to let it grow until you’re hair is long enough to kind of lay over that drastic line where you’re beard/sideburns begin and hair starts. Or leave it to the professionals. They call it the awkward stage for a reason 😂

And the hairs looking suave mate:)

Fudge! I keep wanting to get a disconnected undercut with a man bun. So I got brave a "trimmed" my sideburns with NO GUARD! 😳

Damn foo sickkk

I find lifting the hair up with a hair band allows me to get to my sidies and hairline above my ear alot easier

I'm new to all of this. Starting to grow my hair out. Around 4:45 why not just let those "wings" grow out and become a part of the main long strands of hair? I don't understand that part. Could somebody please explain?

What do you do if your hair is just a tad to short to tie back

W Arc

What if I left my side burns grow to where I can put them behind my ear? I'd like to have the least amount of maintenance as possible. I'm no where near where I want to be I'm about to enter the awkward stage

I have to apologize; I sort of neener neener you guys when you did your video on neck hair and said that being Asian, I don't have neck hair. Now you're talking about sideburns, and mine is much longer than El Moreno. I also hate it when I eat dinner when a breeze blows behind my back and the pesky haIr lands in my mouth and eyes. Thanks for the video El M Man.

I just noticed mine are too bushy I think rather than shaving them trimming with sheers will lessen the "bushiness" 😔 a bit

Immah bot to trim my sideburns too

After having long hair for almost 2 yrs now. I still have no idea how any of you with long hair wears hats cause they all just slide off my head cause all my hair

Wish my barber new how to do my sideburns without snagging my hair. Every time I get a shape up I take my bun out and there's always a bunch of extra hair that comes out that shouldn't

I use an afro comb to trim my sideburns, I don't trust the guard on the clippers, tie my long hair back and put the comb through the SBs and clipper them down with an unguarded clipper.

5:10 lol the voicecrack

How much is too much to cut?

Is 3,7 cm normal for almost 3 month hair growth ?

smashed that bell

Me watching after messing up my sideburns🥰

I usually just shave those off with a razor, and just as you said it grows out fast.

I need a long hair, long beard tutorial!

"Now pay close attention" *camera keeps focussing on person in background* :(

Aww man. I have had the wings for so long i even got a nickname from someone i knew. They called me wingnut. Hahhahahahah I really have to get rid of these.

I wouldn’t shave it off completely, but good video

Ah, so people do cut their medium long hairs by their ears so that they don't stick out. I was wondering why so many people with ponytails don't have hair sticking out by their ears. I've been trying for hours how to tuck those medium long hairs underneath my longer hairs once it is tied in a tail, but they end up sticking out no matter what I do. The only thing that seems to work for me is putting hairspray on my sides.

I'm pretty Lucky, my sideburns get pretty long so I can tuck them behind my ear and problems solved!

First, great video! Second, are you invisible?! People are walking right behind you and not acknowledging your existence ,then getting their hair did!!

Bro looks like me if I had 3x the testerone as I do now

at 5:30 you look like Sergio Ramos

I don’t even have sideburns yet I’m 20

Your funny😂

Yep not today

growing out my hair after finishing my military service! 3 months in now and its such a slowwwww process

Thank you Christian Bale

I just use tiny scissors

If you ever decide to cut your hair... Do a third instructional video and "accidentally" slip. Then go total Britney Spears with it

Yooo supp

Long hair
