How to Trim a Moustache

Guide on Grooming your Moustache

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

• Step 1. Wet your moustache slightly.
• Step 2. Use a fine-tooth moustache comb to brush the hair down.
• Step 3. Clip the hair on your moustache's outer edges with a pair of thin scissors. Remember to clip conservatively.
• Step 4. Snip across the bottom of the moustache.
• Step 5. Trim the body of the moustache to achieve the desired evenness and bushiness, and to clip errant hairs.
• Step 6. Touch up the top of the moustache with a razor until you have the desired line. If you have an unusual moustache, such as a pencil-thin or handle-bar moustache, use more or less use of the razor as appropriate. Take care not to shave off the top of the moustache accidentally.
• Step 7. Comb again with the moustache comb.

Tips

Work carefully. Clipping even a small amount of hair can change the appearance of a moustache greatly.

A beard trimmer is an excellent tool for reducing the bushiness.

For fancier styles, use moustache wax to shape or groom.
