How to Make Mustache Hairs Thinner
By Christopher John
You can style the hairs of your mustache to give it the appearance you want. This is important because certain styles go better with thinner mustaches instead of thicker ones. How thick your mustache grows depends on genetics, but you can trim the hairs in such a way as to make your mustache thinner.
To Make Mustache Hairs Thinner You’ll Need:
- Rag
- Mustache comb
- Electric mustache trimmer
- Trimmer guards
To Make Mustache Hairs Thinner Instructions:
- Moisten a rag with hot water, and wet the mustache with it. Use a small mustache comb to comb through the mustache hairs in the direction the hairs grow. This reveals any hairs that are longer than others.
- Trim the bottom edge of the mustache, shortening and aligning the hairs with an electric mustache trimmer. Make sure you remove the hairs that cross the top of the upper lip. Trim the mustache’s top edge, also.
- Install a shallow guard on the mustache trimmer blade.
- Trim the mustache hairs by holding the trimmer with the blade facing down. Trim from the top down, using short strokes. Start in the middle and work out toward the corners.
- Install a shallower guard on the trimmer if the mustache is not thin enough. Use the same short strokes, working from the top down.
- Hold the trimmer with the blade facing up, if you want to taper the mustache. Use short upward strokes from the bottom up, and work from the middle out to the corners.
- Remove the guard and trim the bottom edge of the mustache with the trimmer blade, if necessary.
