Expert Answer

Consider going to a barber to get your handlebar mustache started. Take a picture to your barber and show them what you want. Then, trim away the stubble as it grows around your mustache.

How do I get mustache wax out of my fine toothed comb?

Try using a hair dryer to heat up the wax. Once softened, wipe off the wax with a towel or tissue.

Can a bald guy over 50 wear one?

Community Answer

Absolutely! Bald men look especially handsome with handlebar mustaches. For example, Tom Hardy rocked the bald-with-handlebar-mustache look in the movie Bronson.

Question

Which wax should I use if I want to grow my mustache?

Community Answer

This depends on the coarseness of your hair. If your mustache is wiry and thick you'll need a strong wax. If it's thin and fine you can use a softer wax. When in doubt get a stronger wax. You may need to buy a few different kinds and experiment. Good luck!

Question

How do I prevent my hairs on my mustache from breaking?

Community Answer

Usually they break when they are crinkly or bent. Once they break, they straighten out as they grow back.
