face and accentuates facial features like eyes, chin,
jawbones, etc. But how many of you would actually go that

care? Moustaches need regular trimming and ignoring that
will make you look like you haven’t heard of shaving! You
need to take care of the moustache and maintain it just the
way you do for your hair. Check out how to grow and maintain
a proper moustache.
Moustache Trimming Tips
- You need to
let your stubble grow for almost two weeks to get a thick
moustache. If you don’t like to grow hair on the cheeks,
shave it off but be careful so as not shave off the
moustache in the flow.
- Thereafter,
take a sharp pair of scissors and trim off the corners
carefully with the scissor blades tilted at an angle.
- Take a comb
and comb your moustache hair to make it straight. For this,
you need a comb that has very less spacing between the
teeth. You need to comb your moustache so that any curled up
hair can be straightened and trimmed properly.
- Your upper
lip line should be the template for cutting or trimming your
moustache. Ideally, the moustache should not reach the lip
line and should be trimmed in accordance to the shape of the
lip.
- If you
think it is too bushy, reduce its volume by trimming on the
top of the moustache. You may also apply a bit of gel or oil
to keep it in place and make it look subdued.
- The moustache should not
grow beyond the corner of the lips in length. So if it does,
take care to trim it till the corners.
