HOW TO APPLY MOUSTACHE WAX
Moustache wax is a must-have for any gentleman looking to keep their facial hair in check, but the process of applying it can be a bit daunting for newcomers. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to apply moustache wax:
- Heat the Wax
Most moustache waxes are made with beeswax, which gives them a hard consistency. To make the wax easier to work with, warm the tin before use. You can use a hairdryer, leave the tin on a warm surface for a few minutes, or simply keep it in your back pocket to warm it up.
- Prepare the Wax
Once the wax is warmed up, use the back of your index finger or thumbnail to scoop out a small amount, about the size of half a pea. Rub the wax between your thumb and forefinger to soften it further, making it easier to apply.
- Apply the Wax
Starting from the center of your moustache, work the wax outwards using your thumb and index finger. By starting in the middle, you'll have more control over the hairs as you work with their natural direction of growth. If you're going for the classic handlebar look, work the hairs towards the ends of your moustache and twist them up and around at the points.
- Shape Your Moustache
Shaping your moustache can take time and effort, but with persistence, it's a look that many gentlemen can master. If you have a bushier moustache, it will need more care and attention. Use both hands to apply the wax evenly to both sides of your moustache simultaneously and a fine toothed moustache comb to help the styling process
- Helpful Hints on Removing Moustache Wax
When it comes to removing the wax at the end of the day, use a small amount of beard shampoo. Gently work it into the hairs and leave it to soak for a few minutes, then rinse with warm water and towel-dry before applying a drop or two of beard conditioning oil.
In conclusion, applying moustache wax is a simple process that requires a little patience and attention to detail. By following these steps, you'll be able to achieve the perfect moustache every time.
