Any opinions on what I should do with this? Wife wants a mustache, never had one in my life. I’ve always just taken an electric trimmer and let it grow for 4 months then shave it off to stubble. Seeking any help or tips. Should I get some type of mustache gel to keep it away from my mouth? I have no clue what I’m doing with this.

Hello friends!

I have been growing out my mustache for a little more than a month (The chin patch has been there for much longer) and was looking for some advice from this wonderful crowd. Any input or advice ya'll could offer would be greatly appreciated.

I want to grow it out into a classic handlebar look but have a few issues I'm struggling with.

First off is the direction. When I try to comb or brush it to the sides, it tends to just stick straight out instead. Will that problem get better as it gets longer, or is there a tool or product I can use to help?

Second is the shower situation- I'm bald and don't use hair products. It has been getting cleaned when I wash my face normally. Should I be getting shampoo/conditioner just for my mustache?

The last issue is color and texture. Not a fan of how dark it is or how coarse it is growing in compared to the patch on my chin, but I'm just hoping those will clear up as it gets longer. Any input here would still be appreciated though.

Thanks for your time reading this! So fam, how is it looking?

Excuse the stubble, I haven’t shaved in a few days. I’m having trouble deciding where to trim the corners of my mouth. Right now, when I try to brush it sideways, the bottom hairs stick out underneath and look messy. My ultimate goal is a Wyatt Earp style mustache, so how long should I actually leave the corners of my mouth?

Moustache starts from high up/almost into my nostrils. Am I meant to be trimming/shaving this section? If so, how?

Thanks

My growth, Last 3 pictures are most recent as of this two days ago. I like the density and ruggedness of a walrus stache (ala nieztsche) but also don’t want to comb down and cover my whole mouth. Any suggestions? I’m open to experimenting. I have not trimmed it or cut it in about 10 weeks now. so just letting it grow out and do its thing while putting on oil, balm and wax for care.

Hey guys so my research suggests Dali used a Hungarian wax to get his stache airborne like that..cause nothing i use has worked - and that includes the death grip dealio which is is way too waxy and even after you overcome the challenging part of melting it down a bit of it on your fingers, the wax immediatley gets hard and you end up looking like you just crawled out of bed with very obvious residue which you end up frantically trying to clean up - and pull out a few hairs in the process. The bare bones version wont get your stache airborne, its more for the subdued/generic everyday look.

My guess is Dali must have used a much better concoction...the question is "what"?

Male 30. One year of growth and that middle just won’t fill in. It’ll kinda blend after I comb/brush but ends up like this again after like 10 minutes. Am I doing something wrong? Is it just genetics or can I do something about it?

Still missing the beard. I have had a beard in many forms for the last 30 years. It was such a shock getting rid of it completely. Now I’m settling into the new look of just the stache, I’m sorta, kind of liking it but not 100% there yet. Already got a bit of stubble and fighting the urge to grow my beard back 😂

Whichever one of you said "remember, they're brothers not twins" - thank you. Helped the stache in security a lot

Camera really struggles at times to catch the colour, but got quite close here.

Never was much of a facial hair grower but the stache is vying for legitimacy

And I'm aware I need a hair-cut 😅😂

I’ve been growing it for about a month.

Hello, my moustache fellowshipmen.

I’d like to grow a Chevron, but I’m not sure whether my moustache is suitable for it.

In the barbershop, they used to “destroy” my moustache by trimming it much higher than my upper lip, even though I told them I wanted to grow it out. So it has been growing for a while, but about 5–6 weeks ago I stopped trimming it completely and just let it grow out (first photo from yesterday). The hairs were still curling into my mouth, even though I was combing them downward several times a day.

Today I couldn’t stand it anymore because I felt unkempt, so I asked my wife to trim it, and it turned out like this (second photo).

Do you have any tips? Did I mess it up? Is the moustache too sparse? What about a soul patch?Thanks for your opinions.

About a months growth, not sure if it’s thick enough tbh or if the goatee looks good

So this is my stache. It has been growing for around 3 weeks. I want it to look as natural as possible, so I was thinking about not “shaping” it. However, several hairs are pointy… should I just them grow? are they going to soften anytime later ? Or should I remove some of them ?
