What You’ll Need
- A small mustache comb or brush
- High-quality mustache wax
- A hairdryer (preferably with a concentrator nozzle)
- Mustache scissors (if needed)
Step 1: Clean and Comb
Start by washing your mustache with a gentle facial cleanser and warm water. Gently pat it dry with a towel. Once it’s dry, use a small comb or brush to remove any tangles or debris. This will ensure a smooth curling process.
Step 2: Apply Mustache Wax
Take a small amount of high-quality mustache wax on your fingertip. Rub it between your fingers to warm it up and make it pliable. Apply the wax evenly throughout your mustache, making sure to coat every hair. This will provide hold and help your curls stay in place.
Step 3: Choose Your Curling Technique
There are several techniques you can use to curl your mustache. Two popular options are the twist method and the heat-based method. Choose the one that suits your preference and style the best. For the twist method, simply twist small sections of your mustache hair with your fingers into the desired shape. If you prefer the heat-based method, proceed to the next step.
Step 4: Heat and Shape
Take your hairdryer and adjust it to a medium heat setting. Attach the concentrator nozzle to direct the airflow precisely. Take a small section of your mustache hair and wrap it around your finger to create a curl. With the hairdryer on a medium heat setting, gently blow warm air onto the wrapped hair for a few seconds. Release the hair from your finger and let it cool while holding the curl shape with your hand. Repeat this process for the desired number of curls.
Step 5: Maintain the Curls
To ensure your mustache curls last throughout the day, apply a light coat of mustache wax over each curl after they have cooled down. This will add extra hold and prevent the curls from unraveling. Use a mustache comb or brush to lightly groom your curls and achieve the desired shape.
Step 6: Trim and Tidy (if needed)
If your mustache has grown too long or there are any stray hairs, use a pair of mustache scissors to trim and tidy up your facial hair. Be careful not to trim too much at once and always start with small cuts. Remember, it’s easier to trim more later if needed, but impossible to undo a big cut.
Congratulations! You’ve now mastered the art of curling your mustache. Whether you’re heading to a special event or simply want to up your style game, these curls will definitely turn heads. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if your first attempt doesn’t go perfectly. With time and patience, you’ll become a mustache curling master!
