    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.

    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!
