Peyos פאות

Peyos (payot) are sidelocks or sideburns worn by some Orthodox Jewish men based on Leviticus 19:27, which forbids shaving the "corners" of the head; pe'a means "corner" or "side." Styles vary widely among chassidim, Haredim and Yemenite Jews. Among chassidim a boy's peyos are first left at his upsherin at age three.
