Question

When does a mustache start growing?

Community Answer

It varies from person to person, depending on your genetics. If the men in your family have mustaches, you're more likely to have one yourself. If their mustaches started growing in earlier, yours is more likely to as well.

Question

I'm 18 and have been growing a mustache for 6+ months without shaving; it's grown to a decent length but is still very thin and flat. Is there any way to make it grow thicker, or is this a genetic thing that I can't do anything about?

Community Answer

Everyone is different, and it sometimes depends on genetics. But really you should wait and keep shaving. After you shave, feel your face the next day, if the hairs on your face feel a little stiff or "whiskery," that's a good sign that you might be able to grow something. And just keep waiting, it might grow thicker as you get a little older.

Hair follicles grow in at different rates. Just keep trimming or shaving, and eventually it will grow long enough.

How do I grow a thick mustache?

Community Answer

Don't trim it when it's growing over your lip and into your mouth. Instead, put oil on it and comb it to the sides.

Question

How do I get facial hair at 19?

Community Answer

Give it time. Shave your face regularly until you notice the hair is growing in more thickly. Also, a word of caution: some guys aren't ever able to grow a full beard. You may have to learn to work with what you've got.

Question

How can I make a thick handlebar mustache?

Community Answer

Try growing a full beard for around a month. After you notice that you have a decent beard, shave off the beard and keep the moustache only. Try shaping your ends downwards every day and avoid trimming the ends too much.

Question

How do I grow a mustache longer than a beard?

Curtis Fairgrieve

Community Answer

Keep trimming your beard area, but leave the mustache area untouched. Use the longest guard setting on the beard trimmer, as you can't put back what you've cut off.

Question

Do young people look awkward with a mustache?

Community Answer

It depends on how young the individual looks. If someone looks like they're under 30, then it could be a little awkward, but it's dependent on the person's facial structure.

Question

I'm 13 years old and I've already grown facial hair (under my chin). Will I look like an old man when I'm 18 years old?

Community Answer

No. Getting facial hair at an early age does not mean you're actually aging faster, it just means you're going through puberty a little faster/differently than your peers.

Question

How do I grow the middle portion of my mustache under my nostrils?

Community Answer

The area you are talking about is called the "philtrum," and unfortunately, there isn't anything you can do to target hair growth in that area. I would recommend growing out the sides of your mustache to draw attention away from the sparse middle area.

Question

If I am younger and I have peach fuzz, will it take longer?

Community Answer

You can’t really grow out a mustache or a beard on just peach fuzz. Personally, I let the peach fuzz grow out a bit, then I shaved it, and I don’t know why people say that it doesn’t make it grow back thicker, but in my case it did. In short, grow out the peach fuzz to an acceptable level, then shave all of it regularly until you can see stubble after you shave.

Question

How long does it take a mustache to grow back if I am a teen and shaved mine off?

Community Answer

It might take a while since it's in its first or early phases. And the growth rate is genetic, so there's really no way to know for sure. Apply some essential oils, like olive oil, jojoba oil, etc. This will help with growth.
