You can grow your mustache hair longer or trim it as soon as it passes over your lip. If you want a handlebar mustache, use mustache wax and a small comb to move your hair to the side to make it look fuller.

What do I need to use to keep my mustache in shape?

You could use an eyebrow shaper. It should work on a mustache also.

Question

How do I get new hair to grow in my mustache?

Community Answer

Just let your mustache grow without cutting it, but make sure to routinely trim it. If your mustache isn't growing to your liking, there isn't much you can do. You can't force hair to grow.

Question

The ends of my mustache are full. How do I grow my mustache in the middle?

Community Answer

There is no fool proof way to grow in the rest of your mustache. However, you can try supplements, exercise, a healthy diet full of hair healthy foods and you can even try beard oil.

Question

How do I trim the middle of a mustache?

Curtis Fairgrieve

Community Answer

With great care. Use a beard trimmer with the guard removed or a pair of small scissors. This is necessary for some mustache styles, but not all. However, mustache hair should not be hanging over the edge of your lips, as this not only looks untidy, but will feel irritating.

Question

How do you trim a mustache with scissors?

Drew Hawkins1

Community Answer

Hold the scissors parallel to your lips and make small cuts following your lip line until you've trimmed your mustache to the length that you desire. Be careful not to cut your lip while you trim along it!

How do you trim a thick mustache?

Community Answer

You can reduce the volume of your mustache by combing up and away from your mustache to extend the ends of the hairs, then use a pair of scissors or an electric trimmer to trim the hair.

Question

Can I get scentless and tasteless mustache waxes?

Community Answer

Yes. You should be able to find this at most drug and variety stores. This is going to be a small item so you likely will have to hunt a bit for it.
