sideburns
鬢 refers specifically to sideburns, the hair growing on the sides of the face in front of the ears.
鬢 combines 髟 (hair) with 賓, which likely contributes the sound ヒン/ビン and may relate to the idea of something at the side or temple area. The exact historical development is uncertain.
The top 髟 shows long hair, and the bottom 賓 looks like a guest with a roof and a shell. Imagine a guest whose hair is styled so that the sideburns are especially prominent.
For ビン, picture a bin (a container) placed beside the face, and the sideburns are the hair that falls right next to it: bin -> ビン.
