Sideburns can be worn and grown in combination with other styles of facial hair, such as the [[moustache]] or [[goatee]], but once they extend from ear to ear via the chin they cease to be sideburns and become a [[beard]], [[chinstrap beard]], or [[chin curtain]].

Indigenous men of [[Colombia]] and [[Mexico]], including Aztecs, shaved their heads and wore their braided sideburns long, said to be wearing "balcarrotas", rarely seen in modern times, but prized in the 16th century as a mark of virile vanity and banned by the colonial authorities in [[New Spain]], resulting in rioting in 1692.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cervantesvirtual.com/obra-visor/vocabulario-de-mexicanismos-comprobado-con-ejemplos-y-comparado-con-los-de-otros-paises-hispanoamericanos--0/html/03b9b7a8-f6cc-4cca-9e5d-1358d09b2197_4.html#1510|title=Vocabulario de mexicanismos : comprobado con ejemplos y comparado con los de otros paises hispano-americanos|author=Joaquín García Icazbalceta|publisher=Fundación Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes|access-date=March 1, 2013}}</ref>
