Sideburns are patches of facial hair grown on the sides of a man's face, extending from the hairline down past the ears.

They connect the hair on the head to the beard, or stand alone when the chin is shaved.

The width varies from thin strips to bushy mutton chops: He grew out his sideburns in the seventies style.
