Just guessing?

A somewhat educated guess. I believe I heard that as the explanation for not shaving the sides of the head and marring the sides of the beard. That along with giving yourself scars and getting tattooed were pagan practices. But I'm not completely sure about that. So I'm researching it.

Edit: What I really wanted was to see what someone Jewish had to say about it, and I found this:

Payots aren't biblical. Leviticus 19:27 says not to shave the sides of your head. Which I'm guessing was a pagan custom at the time.
I kind of like the idea of just letting my beard and sideburns grow, but of course we don't follow most of the other levitical laws either.

God said don't cut sideburns. Not to wear a little hair wig.

I posted it as a joke because you said, "I think they look like a pain to maintain". I hope my humor didn't offend anyone.

Wig is like fake hair?

Yes. Although some wigs are made of real hair. There are people who grow their hair long and then cut it off and sell it to wig makers. People also donate their hair for wigs that are made for children who lose their hair from cancer treatments etc. Locks of Love Since 1997

Jews don't use wigs though, why do you give relevance to that image?
