Invest in a good quality trimmer. Whenever trimming facial hair, you should invest in a trimmer to make trimming your beard easier. ^{[2] X Research Source} It’s easier to accurately shape your mustache with an electric trimmer than with a basic razor for clean shaving.

Usually, you can buy a rechargeable trimmer for 300-400 thousand which is available in most retail stores. The trimmer will be sold with a variety of guard shapes and optional sizes, making it easy to shape your mustache.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/60/Grow-a-Mustache-Step-3-Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-a-Mustache- Step-3-Version-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/60/Grow-a-Mustache-Step-3-Version-7.jpg/ v4-728px-Grow-a-Mustache-Step-3-Version-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Trim what you don’t want to appear on your face. Most basic mustache styles only extend down the sides of the mouth, leaving the whiskers on the upper lip. All it takes to shape a basic mustache is to shave off any hair you don’t want, usually all of the beard on your cheeks, below and along your jaw, and around your mouth, with the exception of the upper lip. . ^{[3] X Research Sources}

After trimming the desired basic shape, leave the mustache as it is. Shave or continue trimming other areas of facial hair growth to keep your mustache stand out from the rest of your beard.
For some types of beard, people sometimes let the beard grow back and have a mustache a little longer than the rest. It’s half beard, half mustache, and full sugar.

Wait patiently for the beard to grow. While a beard can grow fairly quickly, it can take several weeks to more than a month for it to fully grow, depending on the type of mustache you want and how quickly it grows. This process takes time, so don’t be impatient.

Contrary to popular belief, regular beard trimming does not cause it to “grow back thicker”. That’s not always bad advice, though: It’s often a way to convince guys with unsightly beards to shave off the fuzz and wait until it starts to get a little thicker.
You can use some basic healthy techniques to stimulate beard growth faster. Maintain a diet rich in protein, saturated fat, and Vitamins A, E, and C, get enough exercise and rest, and most importantly keep your face clean and well-groomed. May help promote facial hair growth in men.

Choose a style that suits your face. Not all mustache styles are suitable for all faces and hairstyles. ^{[4] X Research Source} Pay attention to the process of beard growth and where it grows thickest. There’s nothing wrong with trying out a straight fu-machu if your beard isn’t as thick as your mouth.

To see what a mustache looks like, try editing your photo in Photoshop, and then adding a fake mustache. You can also ask your friends and family what they think you should look like. If not, just look in the mirror and imagine how you would look with the mustache of your choice.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f8/Grow-a-Mustache-Step-6-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-a-Mustache- Step-6-Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f8/Grow-a-Mustache-Step-6-Version-5.jpg/ v4-728px-Grow-a-Mustache-Step-6-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Try shorter styles. The shorter mustache style is the best choice for men with very coarse, thick, and dark beards. This short mustache looks better when the beard is denser and coarser. Try these short mustache styles:

Pencil Mustache : The mustache of celebrities like John Waters, R. Kelly, and countless silent film villains, a pencil mustache looks like it’s been thinly drawn on the tip of the lips with a makeup pencil. . To trim the beard, trim along the upper lip line with a trimmer, carefully shaving between the nose and lips until a thin line remains. The beard should end at the corner of the upper lip or a little further. ^{[5] X Research Sources}
Straight mustache fu machu : This classic has a pencil-like mustache that starts at the corner of the mouth and grows down the sides of the face until it reaches the jawline, and sometimes extends past the jawline-like jawline. as a Chinese philosopher. Beards grow thicker and wider, this same basic mustache shape is known as “horseshoe mustache”, ^{[6] X Retired wrestler Hulk Hogan’s mustache source} .
Wagon mustache : The wagon mustache is a fairly simple mustache that only extends almost reaching the corner of the lips. To trim this style, let the mustache grow naturally, then trim a line perpendicular to the corner of the lips so that the beard ends just before the corner of the lips. The mustache should look like a perfect rectangle. Don’t trim it short, or you’ll end up with a signature brush mustache by Adpf Hitler and Robert Mugabe. ^{[7] X Research Sources}

Try a longer mustache. A bushier, larger mustache often pairs best with a straight beard that is still coarse. Especially thin beards that will grow long, but won’t be “thick”, and may eventually grow above your lips like the tusks of a walrus (which will feel uncomfortable). If you already have the right beard style, consider the following longer mustaches:

English Mustache, Lower Lip Mustache or Handlebar Mustache : An English mustache makes you look like you stepped out of a Victorian novel. To style this mustache, you need to stop cutting the mustache just above the corner of the mouth and let it grow a little longer, then using mustache wax, twist the longer hairs at the corner up, curling into a curls. ^{[8] X Research Sources}
The mustache : The mustache is a mustache for outdoorsmen, rhino hunters, and men who know how to throw hand axes. Think of Theodore Roosevelt. To grow a mustache, you absolutely do not need to do anything but shave your cheeks, leaving the mustache. Don’t prune until it’s fully enjoyed by you (which may not take long). This style is not for beginners. ^{[9] X Research Source}
Selleck Mustache : Named after popular TV personality Tom Selleck, this mustache is also known in some sources as “porn star”. Basicly shaped like a walrus, the mustache runs down to the sides gently, the Selleck mustache is fully distributed from the lips to the nose, but is trimmed to avoid hanging over the lips. ^{[10] X Research Source}

Try a variety of mustache combinations. While it would be nice to give silly names to mustache styles, the main problem is that mustache growth largely depends on creating a beard in front of a mirror with a trimmer. If it makes you look better then it’s the right choice. Try out combinations for the next time you shave to find the right one. You can always shave it off.

Goat beard or round beard around the chin, basically a straight mustache or handlebar mustache connected on the chin. You only need to shave on the cheeks and under the neck. ^{[11] X Research Source}
The lamb chops that are directly connected to the mustache give the impression that you are a theater artist or a civil war character, like you just jumped out of a photograph, or the movie Brooklyn. ^{[12] X Research Source}
Try growing a straight mustache, with a 5 o’clock shadow and a small patch of facial hair just below your lower lip and above your chin if you want to look like a freelance actor.

Trim the tail of the beard. Although some mustache believers debate the merits of trimming, ^{[13] X Sources of Research} it’s possible that your mustache needs regular grooming. Some mustaches will require more care than others. However, a combination of washing, waxing, combing, trimming, or shaving should be part of your daily mustache care routine if you want your mustache to grow in volume.

Depending on your mustache, trim it with mustache scissors every day or once a week. After a month of weekly mustache trimming, you’ll have a pretty good idea of how many facial hairs to trim for each trim.

Apply the right care regimen to keep the face clean. Wash your face with a natural foaming cleanser every morning and before bed. This will keep the face clean and healthy for easy grooming and waxing.

Having facial hair of any kind causes the body’s natural oils and dirt to be trapped on the skin, causing breakouts in some men. It is important to keep your facial hair clean and well-groomed for healthy skin.

Shaping mustache. Some mustache styles require a bit of shaping and use a lot of wax, while others can be held in place with a comb. If you style a bushy handlebar or pencil-polished mustache, you’ll probably need to brush, twist, trim, and even shave every day to keep an attractive look.

After washing your face or showering, apply a small amount of wax to the center of your mustache with your fingers. Next, lightly apply the wax to the outside, covering the entire mustache, then use a waxing brush to wet it completely.
To brush your mustache, use a specialized beard comb that is smaller in size and has tighter teeth. Add a little natural beard oil to wet the small teeth of the comb, it will help lubricate and shape the hairs.
Start brushing at the center of the mouth (the opening under the nose), work outward towards the corners of the lips, and brush down.

Advice

Some people argue that shaving foam or gel is not beneficial. Instead, they choose water or moisturizer. Please use clear shaving gel for more accurate results.
Growing a mustache makes you look more masculine, and can make your face look more balanced, even if your face is already symmetrical; that will increase your attractiveness.

Warning

Be careful when shaving.
When shaping a mustache, hold the trimmer on the hairs below the lips and move it to the right, then back to the middle of the mustache and move it to the left. Never do this all at once, as the mustache will look uneven.
Shave against beard growth with a razor. ^{[14] X Research Source}
