sidelocks
Hair beside ears
Sidelocks are locks of hair grown long at the temples, hanging in front of the ears.
The term most often refers to the payot worn by Orthodox Jewish men, which religious tradition forbids cutting: His sidelocks curled past his jawline.
The style also appears in various historical and subcultural contexts.
