In honor of Movember, the mustache-growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men’s health, Details presents this helpful guide to growing your own:
How To Grow It
If you’re clean shaven, you’ll mostly likely need the entire month to grow your facial hair to the right length—about two inches. Damon Zilly, owner of Fred’s Barber Shop in Los Angeles, suggests keeping the stubble from getting itchy as it grows by washing it daily with a mild soap like Cetaphil or Zirh Wash. Then, before you leave for work, tame any rogue strands by smoothing on a pinhead-size amount of beard wax like Clubman Moustache Wax (regular hair pomade works too).
Other Tips
As the hair on your upper lip becomes thicker, you will need to trim it into shape with a small pair of scissors. The best way to do this is to ask your hair stylist or barber to help shape it for you. Then tend to it daily by keeping it trimmed and combed.
That moustache looks soooo cute on George… I mean, it looks kinda funny, but he looks great no matter what.
Leila: I know, right? He does look good no matter what. And the moustache is kinda dashing. ;)
