From Ralph Waldo Emerson to Luke ("Dylan") Perry, sideburns have gone in and out of style for centuries. Join the march of time by growing your own.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A razor
A comb
Electric clippers or scissors

Step 1: Stop shaving

Stop shaving. Let your facial hair flourish untouched for a few days or weeks, depending on how hairy you are and how fast your hair grows.

Tip: Consider going on vacation to avoid going through the scruffy, transitional phase in full view of your coworkers.

Step 2: Pick a shape

Pick a shape for your sideburns. Do you want the "classic tab," which very discreetly extends only to about the midpoint of your ear? Or are you after the "full grizzly," which can reach as far down as your jaw line and stand off your face as high as you want?

Tip: If you have a long, thin face, create bushier sideburns to soften the angles and beef up your look. If you have a roundish face, go for close, sharply angled sideburns to lend your face some squareness and definition.

Step 3: Shave into shape

Carefully delineate your sideburns by shaving them into the shape you've decided on.

Step 4: Trim hair

Use a comb and scissors, or adjustable electric clippers, to trim the hair forming your sideburns to the desired length.

Tip: To maintain your new look, keep the length of the hairs in check, by trimming them often, and redefine their shape every time you shave.

Step 5: Check mirror

Check the mirror to make sure you're stylin'. Next stop, muttonchops!
