We have a few suggestions, which are not unbreakable rules to follow when you are thinking of growing a mustache. We want to encourage you to create your own style and, but we have some topics we think you should consider.

So, here’s what you need to have in mind:

 

 

Decide on the type:

Decide what type of mustache you want to have. There are some people with famous mustaches in history, like Salvador Dali. If you want to go for that look, we need to let you know it’s hard. Most experts recommend that you start with a basic shape and grow it into something more different.

Think about what kind of mustache suits your face best: do you want to go with the Stalin or with a pencil mustache like Clark Gable.

When deciding this, take your face shape into consideration. Mustaches usually add volume to the face, so if you have a thin lip line you can grow a bigger mustache. Also, if you have softer features, you can sharpen them with an edgy mustache with clear lines.

 

 

Trim and shape it

It’s not the 1500s in Japan anymore, so make sure to trim your mustache or keep its shape. Use your beard-trimmer to trim it and your razor for shaping. To give it a proper shape, you can use the defining tool on your trimmer.

Also, an important thing to remember is that keeping the area around it well-shaved will make it look more defined. Speaking of looks, you might not have known that there are special mustache combs which can help you styling your stache.

In order to keep it clean, you can shampoo your mustache once a week or so. If you want to make it softer and shinier, you can you hair conditioner too. Some men lose their hair color and want to keep it as long as possible. You can dye your mustache with special products for men’s beards and mustaches.
