Unless you’re very prettyboy-esque with some white features, you can’t afford to have sideburns as an ethnic.

I don’t know why but they make ethnics weird looking and also makes their eye areas more aspie, very unapproachable.

You can have a high fade, mid fade, low fade or sideburn taper. Whichever one you have would depend on face/head shape but the bottom line is don’t have sideburns.

Applies mainly to Indian/Pakistani pheno but yeah there’s a reason most black men have fades.

Unless you have a perfect es ratio you should never have a fade

Completely depends on face/head shape.

High and low fade can cause drastically different effects.

Ethnic eye areas look worse with sideburns.

Med should be fine i.e. Michelle Marrone but even then he’s cutting it fine lol

Absolutely, I personally blend my sideburns into my stubble.

When my sideburns are noticeably longer than my stubble it looks shit.

If you have long face having short sides is a big failo tbh

Bro you can have volume on your sides but still have a sideburn taper….

Regardless, still depends. Long face or long head? How wide is the jaw? Zygos? Temples?
 
Legit
I clean shave my face so when my side grown longer usually about 2 weeks I have sideburns ffs

So majority of the time I'm looksminned coz my fade lasts a week, then I have 3 weeks with thicker sides

Mainly to Indian pheno but as I said above, there’s a reason why most black people have fades.

Your looks are important as it affects your mentality/self-confidence which affects your whole life.

Getting haircuts more frequently is a worthwhile investment.

You'd have to burn ur face off in order to lose that much, and that's assuming ur higher than 5psl which is probably chadlite in itself

Apart from the 5PSL exaggeration the difference is noticeable.
 
Fade is love fade is life

So clean shaven is better for med? Look up Tommy fury for what I mean by med. dark skin light eyes etc

I didn’t say anything about clean shaven; if you have stubble just blend that into the sideburns. Stubble is ideal anyways

I know who Tommy Fury; for guys like that it depends, sideburns isn’t automatically an SMV killer like it is with Indian/Pakistani pheno.

Why does ethnic always have to mean South Asian curry?

Can I dm you

Not always but mostly. South Asians make up most of the ethnic user base here.
 
no one should have sideburns
 
@thecel What’s troubling you?
 
@MakinItHappenReturn I saw this with your fade pic as well; it made your eye area look better compared to when you had thick sideburns.
