We all know how glorious a handlebar mustache looks on a man’s upper lip. Read on and find out how you can have one yourself.

How To Grow A Handlebar Mustache In 5 Easy Steps

 

Step 1: Grow Your Patience

Before you even begin to think of growing that mustache, the first thing you need to do is grow your patience.

Growing a handlebar mustache is a long-term commitment. It is going to take roughly 3 months before anything even close to respectable grows on your upper lip. Usually, a full handlebar mustache will only be ready after half a year. It also takes a lot of maintenance. You will need to wax, comb, style, curl, and wash it almost every day. A handlebar mustache is a powerful tool for men to have. Always remember that with great power comes great responsibility, so be prepared for that.

Step 2: Prepare Everything You Need

As you start your journey towards the mustachioed life, it is extremely important that you equip yourself with the right tools. These tools should include the following:

  • Beard Growth Supplement

To be clear, a beard growth supplement cannot work wonders if you are genetically incapable of growing facial hair. They work like Vitamin C to your immune system or calcium to your bones. For our bearded and mustachioed brethren, beard growth supplements will help them grow that famous handlebar mustache thicker, stronger, and faster.

  • Mustache Wax

A mustache wax will allow you to curl the tips of your stache into a handlebar. The best mustache wax has a strong grip while keeping the hair soft and nourished. It should not contain harmful chemicals, preservatives, or colorants that can harm the hair and the skin underneath.

  • Beard Shampoo and Beard Conditioner

Beards and mustaches trap a lot of dirt, oil, bacteria, and other foreign materials that can cause numerous problems for bearded man. Beard shampoo and beard conditioner are some of your most important tools as they allow you to clean your beard and ‘stache. They help you easily wash off wax from the hair and keep it strong and healthy.

Step 3: Grow Your Mustache

Now that you have the patience and the tools you need to grow a handlebar mustache, the next step is simple: Grow it.

No matter what you do, do not trim your mustache at this point. Loose hair might occasionally find its way into your mouth but resist the urge to trim it. You can instead choose to wax it or comb it out of the way.

Preferably, those growing a handlebar mustache ought to grow a goatee or a full beard at first. Those months before you are able to style your mustache into a handlebar can look a little awkward. A goatee or a beard can complement the ‘stache and prevent it from standing out too much.

When it reaches that six-month mark, then your mustache should be ready to be styled into a handlebar. Depending on your preference, you can choose to shave off your beard or use the handlebar mustache as a crown to it.

Step 4: Style Your ‘Stache

Styling your ‘stache into a handlebar is a tedious but rewarding task. Remember, though, that this is the reason why patience is the first step. Forcing your ‘stache to cooperate may be a challenge at first, but if you style it this way every day, you are also training the hair to grow in the shape of the handlebars.

To shape your mustache into a handlebar, apply some wax between your thumb and forefinger. Work the wax evenly into the mustache. Towards the ends of your ‘stache, curl the ends upwards by rolling them inwards.

Make sure the wax holds, and voila! You have a glorious handlebar mustache!

Step 5: Wash and Trim It

Perhaps the most important aspect of growing a handlebar is maintaining it. A full handlebar mustache needs to be kept clean and neat.

To do this, it is important that you wash it every night. Beard shampoo and conditioner should help you wash out the mustache wax. They also condition your hair to be softer as it grows.

As it grows, knowing how to trim a handlebar mustache takes some skill. Trim wild hair, especially those that start forming close to the crease of the lip. Hair that can enter your mouth should not be trimmed. Instead, you can move those to the side with your ‘stache wax to complement your handlebar.
