How to Trim a Mustache

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

Things You'll Need:
* Full-length Mirrors
* Electric Razors And New Blade
* Mustache Combs


Steps

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.
