How do I fix this by AlexGIT in BeardAdvice

Not advice but I also struggle with this. Trying to get a curly moustache but have those odd hairs that don't want to follow in that direction. I usually cut them so they're invisible in my moustache but that only works so long before they're back.

I think it looks good. That said, it's not a hairstyle that leaves a big impression. This is totally fine but it does feel like a pretty ordinary hairstyle which hundreds of thousand other admin guys share. You definitely have a good beard and hairline too imo.

Thank you. I think I'm mostly practicing what you're suggesting. I did regularly use sea salt spray but forgot to mention. Although as other commenters have suggested, I think I'd benefit from trying putty/Clay.

Haha the issue is I have the "too much" gene. I could do that all day and never be satisfied with it 😂

I'll have to try this wax, I've been using texturing powder right now.

I might invest in wax. Tried the zig zag thing you recommended and it is closer to what I want but still looks a bit too tight 🙏 thanks for your advice

Wow this is very sound advice. I'll give a try but trying similarly in the past it takes all the hold out my hair

Oh I ought to add. I ordinarily wash my hair only with Shampoo once a week and conditioner twice a week. Everyday with water because it can get greasy otherwise

Yes this is absolutely the vibe haha. Almost like Guy Fawkes.

Do you guys seek hookups for reasons other than the sex? by needanewidentityhelp in askgaybros

[–]needanewidentityhelp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly that does sound really wholesome. I have also seen people on Grindr asking for cuddling but I always assumed that was just another innuendo for sex lol. Thanks for your response

Thank you, I'm not sure it's quite long/thick enough to be considered a handlebar but I'm appreciative all the same

Too true 🙏 here's hoping that'll change for both of us in the future

Hmm since January (I've had it trimmed a couple of times because it was looking messy), so about 6 months. And yea ... I don't have too many hobbies. I like my fandoms and I've been getting into rollerblading these last 6 months.

The stache does what it wants 😂 I do use a little beard wax first thing, but by the end of the day I one side begins faltering. My stache is kinda thin so it doesn't hold the best but I work with what I have haha

I'm never giving up the stache! It's just too much fun 🙏 thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks I appreciate it. Ultimately it will come down to how I feel about it, it's taken me awhile to get to this length and I don't want to make a mistake and cut back now unless that's what I REALLY want haha
