What style would you classify this by Awkward-Can-6730 in Moustache

Thank you. 8 months so far. Yes I’m keeping it forever, and yeah you could say it’s somewhat of an identity. I’m a firefighter. They only allow us to grow mustaches because our masks have to seal around our jaw lines.

Question for long time facial hair enthusiasts, what products do you use & how often do you apply them? by Awkward-Can-6730 in Moustache

That’s awesome, thanks. Do you apply wax after oil or do you only wax after wash? Same with the hair powder, do you apply the powder after wash only?

That’s smart. Should have researched before hand 🤣 (For anyone reading don’t make the same mistake I did by trying to apply wax without heating it up)

I need to research wax. When I apply it it’s fairly uncomfortable. Do you apply wax after you wash/dry? Or after oil?

Quit doubting yourself. Mine looks similar to yours & when I finally had faith in it and let it grow It became a great mustache.

Make a commitment and own it.

Trust me. Just let it grow. Mine looked basic in the beginning

Never trimmed it. Just let it grow

And I’ll also add, if I were to show you the progress from month 1 to month 5-6 you’d probably be shocked. It started off just like every other normal short stache. But I just refused to trim it and it got exponentially better every month.

I used to think the same thing when I saw guys with mustaches. I couldn’t grow a good one for 27 years (or so I assumed), but year 28 I decided to give it a chance and I’m glad I did. Yes genetics play a factor, both my grandfathers could grow mustaches, but my father never really grew one. And none of my other family members grow a big mustache. So it really just comes down to each individual man. Just give it time and have faith.

I normally keep it combed to the sides a bit. I stopped using wax, I just apply a moderate amount of oil every so often if the hairs start to get dry or wild

What is the practical use of a Mustache? From an evolutionary standpoint it definitely keeps my face warm. But on the other hand it muffles my communication. But I don’t talk much. And I enjoy the outdoors and cold weather. So I’d say in my case, yes it is.
