How to Get Your Mustache to Twist
Most long mustaches are twisted into shape with the help of mustache wax or pomade. While the handlebar is the most notorious of the twisted mustaches, your choice of grooming style is only limited by your imagination and the length of your mustache. According to the Park and Bond website, prospective mustache groomers often have to suffer through an awkward growing stage, where your mustache will be too short to work with. For best results, adopt a daily practice of combing, clipping and waxing to ensure a well-groomed twist that survives the day. Does this Spark an idea?
