They’re Like Wings
These out of control sideburns have been my biggest nemesis over the last month. I was aware of this potential threat in my 9 month hair update, but now at just 10 months of hair growth it seems like they've tripled in size.
I’ve tried tucking them behind the ear, applying balm to secure them down and shoving them up under my hat. Somehow they always seem to work themselves loose.
The most awkward part is they find a way to sneak themselves out at the most inopportune times, like during a breakfast meeting with a respected colleague.
You’re certain the pesky sideburns are locked in place. As the conversation progresses you begin to notice the person is no longer making eye contact, but rather focusing on the side of your head.
You reach up for an exploratory feel. As your fingers graze the hairs that have come free you realize you’ve got a problem. Those sideburns have perfectly positioned themselves over the ears, forming a beacon of awkwardness.
You try and tuck them back in hoping they hold their position, but those wings are deployed and you’re just looking goofy.
It’s annoying beyond belief.
Ready For Take Off at 10 Months' Hair Growth
The good news is this is an easy problem to solve. With a little tune up you’ll be right back to looking sharp.
In my hair update at 10 months of hair growth I show you what I’m working with as far as total length, then I head over to Brightside Barber to get these sideburns dealt with.
