How to Grow & Twirl a Handlebar Moustache

The average person’s hair grows 6 inches every year. That means that the world’s longest moustache took 28 years to grow. So, it is going to take some time to grow the perfect moustache.

 

Three months at least, at that rate of growth, even if you’re not looking to get into the Guinness Book of Records. Styling it is a different art.

 

The moustache has a long history and the handlebar is no exception. You could be at the very start of your handlebar journey. Or taking your current ‘tache in a different direction. No matter, we have all the details on growing and styling your facial hair for you.

 

What Is a Handlebar Moustache?

 

The handlebar isn’t limited to one style of moustache. It’s a loose term used to describe a family of styles.

 

A Handlebar Moustache is one whose length extends beyond the corner of the mouth. It has ‘graspable’ extremities.

 

Its tips are usually curved upwards, but not always.

 

Handlebar Moustache Problems

 

Depending on how fast your hair grows, a handlebar can take upwards of 3 months to achieve. The length required to produce a proper handlebar moustache is what takes the time.

 

Here is a very useful article on ways you can encourage your hair growth https://haircareology.com/how-to-make-your-hair-grow-faster/  by Emma Lee.

 

As it grows, it might not look too great. You’ll need to be taming and tending to it to keep it in place. After a long night out or a day of exercise, this can be difficult.

 

As your moustache grows and the hair gets longer, the temptation to trim will set in. It will get in the way of drinking and eating. It will try to get into your mouth. It will come between you and your loved ones when kissing, too!

 

How to Grow One

 

If you are ready to accept the challenge, here is everything you need to know.

 

Start with a Beard

 

Incorporating your moustache into a beard will help disguise how rough it looks as it grows. Once it reaches the desired length, shave the beard off if you wish. Then you can work with the moustache that remains.

 

Give All Your Hair a Boost

 

It’ll take at least 3 months to get to a good length. But there are some things you can do to help it along.

 

Your hair growth depends on your age, hair type, and general health. Your body requires energy to grow hair. So, ensure you’re eating well-balanced meals and taking care of your body. This will support faster growth.

 

You can also use essential oils to help the process. Pumpkin Seed, Rosemary, and Peppermint Oil can help thicken the hair and keep it healthy.

 

If you are preparing the concoction yourself don’t use the essential oils undiluted on your skin. Thin them down with a carrier like Castor or Coconut Oil, which can also help to prevent damage.

 

Using a ready-bought Beard Oil can be more convenient. My mate Dougie recommends Bulldog Beard Oil.

 

Some people think Keratin Supplements help grow hair but there’s not much science to back that up. But they might encourage shine which can make your moustache look healthier

 

Don’t Trim!

 

Facial hair gets itchy because of a build-up of dead skin cells, dirt, and bacteria on the skin.

 

Wash and condition your moustache often. This should help prevent the build-up and relieve itchiness. But avoid using chemical washes, lotions, and foams. They can also contribute to itching.

 

Relieving itching may ease the temptation to trim. If you trim in haste you are likely to repent at your leisure. Whether you’re starting with a beard or a moustache on its own, try not to cut it while it grows.

 

It takes a long time to grow and direct the hair so you need all the length you can get.

 

How to Style Your Handlebar

 

Here I’ll tell you when to start styling and how to maintain it once you’ve got it where you want it.

 

Experiment

 

You can do this whilst it is still growing.

 

Start twisting the ends to style them upwards. Spend some time experimenting in front of the mirror. This will give you a good idea of the shape you want to achieve and how it’s going to look.

 

Wait until you have enough length to start curling the extremities. Then you can think about trimming the edges to achieve your desired shape.

 

Train the Hair

 

You’ll need to start training your hair to grow in the right direction. It doesn’t happen on its own.

 

Once a day, create a central parting in the moustache. Do this by combing under your nose, to the left and right, splitting the hair down the middle. Do this at least every day.

 

You can also use a blow dryer to train the hair. While the hair is damp, comb your moustache into the right shape and curl the tips around your fingers. You can use a regular comb or invest in a special beard one. Dougie gave me this natty little one for my Birthday.

 

Use a low setting on the hairdryer to ensure you do not heat damage your hair. Hold the blow dryer at arm’s length and dry the curled edges with the hair wrapped around your finger.

 

Find Your Style

 

Consider how long you want your moustache to be and what style you’re going to aim for. The various styles of handlebar are Natural, Dali, English, Imperial, Hungarian and Freestyle.
