Mustaches have always been the sign of masculinity and with time there have been many changes in the ways men adorned the mustache. Given below are some of the popular mustache styles that you can choose from if you are wondering how to grow a mustache in different style. You can also combine these mustache styles with beards or wear them solo.

Chevron

Dali
In this style a narrow mustache with long points is curved steeply upwards. It is named after an artist Salvador Dali who sported this type of mustache and made it popular. Men with square shaped face are ideal for this kind of mustache style.

Fu Manchu
Would you like to have a cute Chinese style mustache? If the answer is yes then Fu Manchu is an ideal option for you. In this mustache the whiskers are grown very long, even below the chin.

Horseshoe
This mustache is quite similar to Fu Manchu but the only difference is that it does not hang down the chin. This style involves full mustache with vertical extensions from lips to the jawline that resembles an upside down horseshoe.

Sideburns Styles
If you are a man who neither likes beard nor a mustache then experimenting with sideburns is definitely worth a try. For people who love sporting facial hair can combine sideburns with mustache and beard for a better look.

Stretched Sideburns
If you are bored with regular sideburns then you can have a new look without taking much efforts. Just let the sideburns grow a little extra, say till the earlobes. This looks trendy as well professional.

Square Sideburns
This is one of the popular facial hair styles for men. It involves growing stretched sideburns a little wide and shaping them in squares or rectangles. You can also shape them like pointed sideburns to get a cool look.

Tapered Sideburns
Those who long for a rugged hunk look can go for tapered sideburns. In this facial style the half part of the sideburns which is close to the ears is grown vertical and the later part is tapered to resemble 'L' shape.

How to Stimulate Facial Hair Growth

How to Stimulate Facial Hair Growth - Stimulate Facial Hair Growth Naturally
Natural way of stimulating hair growth includes following a healthy lifestyle and eating the right food. Certain vitamins and minerals stimulate hair growth. These include vitamin A, B1, B3, B6, B12, C etc. Thus, foods that stimulate facial hair growth are the ones which are rich in these nutrients. Proteins also stimulate facial hair growth. Moreover, taking adequate sleep is also important since your body uses the time you sleep to repair damaged cells of the body. This promotes hair growth in some way. Stress leads to weakening of hair or even delayed hair growth. Hence, try to lead a stress free life as much as possible.



Exercise to Stimulate Facial Hair Growth
Exercises are required to keep you fit, mentally and physically. Exercising improves blood circulation to various organs. As a result, when you exercise, the blood circulation to your face is promoted, which in turn stimulates facial hair growth. (If that does not happen, you'll at least achieve a lean and fit body, much to the envy of your bearded friends, with beer bellies!)

Does Shaving Stimulate Facial Hair Growth?
Now, that's a million dollar question, that unfortunately has no single answer. While there may be many men who would vouch the effectiveness of shaving to stimulate facial growth, there are these unlucky folks who shave day and night, but to no avail. Scientifically, shaving has no effect on the stimulation of hair growth, however, if you already have sparse facial hair, you might try shaving, as it creates an illusion of thick hair. Shaving is definitely not a recommended option for young boys unless they want to regret it later, when they have barbed wire like hair all over the face!



Face Cleaning to Stimulate Facial Hair Growth
Keeping your face clean and free of dirt, opens up your pores and keeps the hair follicle clear. Exfoliating your face once a while, to remove dead cells is also a good idea to stimulate facial hair growth. Also, always keep your skin moisturized so as to prevent the incidences of ingrown hair. Dry, flaky skin results in stunted hair growth.

Moustache Wax Recipe

Moustache Wax Recipe - Homemade Moustache Wax Recipe

Moustache Wax Ingredients
  • Beeswax

  • Castor oil

  • Double boiler

  • A low tub or jar

Directions
  • Grate or chop the beeswax in to small fine pieces and place them on to the upper part of a double boiler. You may also use a small saucepan inside a larger one instead of double boiler.

  • Put the castor oil in to the beeswax in the ratio of 1:2, i.e. one part castor oil to two parts beeswax.

  • Pour little amount of water into the bottom of the double boiler and transfer the pan over medium heat. Stir the wax and oil together until the wax melts, and a smooth, evenly blended mixture is formed.

  • Remove the pan from the heat and shift the melted wax to a clean, shallow bowl or jar with a lid. Keep the bowl/jar aside, remove the lid and let the contents to cool.

  • Now the wax is ready to be applied on the moustache or other unruly bits of hair. Make sure you cover the unused portions of wax and store at room temperature.

Other Moustache Wax Recipes

Moustache Wax Recipe #1
Ingredients
  • ½ pound gum-arabic

  • ½ pound oil soap

  • 1 pint rose water

  • 1 pound white wax

  • 1 ounce attar bergamot

  • ½ drachm attar thyme

Directions

In a saucepan, melt gum-arabic, oil soap, rose water and white wax. Stir continuously until it forms a uniform consistency. Now add bergamot and thyme for fragrance.

Moustache Wax Recipe #2
Ingredients
  • Beeswax

  • Petroleum jelly

  • Coconut oil/shea butter

  • Essential oils

Directions

Mix equal quantities of petroleum jelly and beeswax and melt in a double boiler. Now add coconut oil or shea butter (half in quantity of petroleum jelly or beeswax) to the mixture and heat until it melts completely. For an appealing fragrance, add few drops of essential oil once the mixture cools.

How to Use Moustache Wax?

The first step before applying the wax is to blow-dry the hair completely. After the moustache wax has cooled down, rub your finger tips lightly over the surface of the coagulated wax. Don't dip your finger into the wax container, as excess of wax may result in a greasy moustache. When your finger tips are lightly coated with wax, put them against the hair you want to shape. To spread the wax evenly, slightly run your fingers against the hair in the same direction as the hair grows naturally. After applying, shape and style the moustache with your fingers. Apply more wax if necessary, and to remove, wash the applied area with mild soap and rinse well with lukewarm water.

Applying excess of wax may give a messy or greasy look to the moustache, therefore, be careful while applying and remove the extras with cotton. The aforementioned moustache wax recipes will not only shape or tame an unruly moustache, eyebrows or other facial hair, but they also help to strengthen the hair by coating it with tough, shiny and protective covering.
