A bit of history
Alexander the Great has been shown in portraits to be having sideburns. During the Napoleonic era, military men used to sport this type of hair growth. Soon this Western trend spread to the Far East as well and people in Japan were also seen growing this type of side-locks.
The youth in South America also adopted this as a fashion. In the 19th century, they took a more extravagant style and were named side whiskers. By the start of the 20th century, they went out of fashion.
