A long time ago my barber (mistakenly) cut off one of my peyos. In my immediate agony, I didn’t object to him cutting off my other peyos to make it “even”. (I don’t know if it would help any if I had him leave the second side; I may have looked a bit out of place though.) Anyways, even since I have never been able to reestablish my previous peyos.
I am “heimish” (down hat, etc.) and my peyos were thick and about down to my chin, though I keep them behind my ear.
Any ideas how to get them back to what they once were?
