How to Trim a Mustache

There are many ways to groom a mustache. Decide how you want yours to look before following these instructions.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Full-length Mirrors
• Electric Razors And New Blade
• Mustache Combs

1. Wet your mustache slightly.

2. Use a fine-tooth mustache comb to brush the hair down.

3. Clip the hair on your mustache's outer edges with a pair of thin scissors. Remember to clip conservatively.

4. Snip across the bottom of the mustache.

5. Trim the body of the mustache to achieve the desired evenness and bushiness, and to clip errant hairs.

6. Touch up the top of the mustache with a razor until you have the desired line. If you have an unusual mustache, such as a pencil-thin or handle-bar mustache, use more or less use of the razor as appropriate. Take care not to shave off the top of the mustache accidentally.

7. Comb again with the mustache comb.

Tips & Warnings

• Work carefully. Clipping even a small amount of hair can change the appearance of a mustache greatly.
• A beard trimmer is an excellent tool for reducing the bushiness.
• For fancier styles, use mustache wax to shape or groom.

on 12/20/2005 To thin or debulk your mustache; cut with scissors in a vertical orientation, so the blades are parallel with the hairs rather than horizontal and perpendicular to the hair. You can cut right into the bulk of the hair without removing too much. Another method is to stick a comb into the hairs, then cut with trimmers or scissors over the top of the comb to effect the same length of cut (think of the ramp on hair clippers).

on 11/23/2008 1. Don't shave at all, It will grow even more hair.
2. Get a rough bath or shower rock or even a rough towel.
3. When you are in the bath or shower, rub your upper lip.
4. Do that everyday and you will be beautiful!
