A lot of men want to know how to grow an epic mustache. I don't blame them as it's a great feature that you can have on your face. The difference between an epic mustache and a handlebar mustache is the fact that the epic has a beard while the handlebar doesn't.
The best way to grow an epic mustache is to set a goal and stick to it. In my other how to grow a beard video I stressed the point of making a goal that was based on months of growth. With the moustache the trick is to make a goal based on length.
A mustache grows at various rates depending on who is growing it and it can even grow at a different rate than your beard. This is why it's important to set a goal of length. The ideal length is for the mustache hairs to grow down past your lips. The key to doing this is not trimming the mustache at all if you want to grow it fast. You can trim it along the way but realize you will be slowing down your progress.
Along the way using mustache wax and a comb really helps keep the wildness at bay. Keep in mind that there will be some awkwardness, irritation, and frustration as your mustache will be touching your lips and getting into your mouth. This is normal and to be expected. You will get used to it over time but the first time around it will be very strange, resist the urge to trim it during this phase.
Be aware that you will potentially receive a lot of comments on your epic mustache, both positive and negative. An epic or handlebar mustache isn't a common thing seen in public and people will react to it. - Навчання та стиль
I've been trying to grow my mustache for 6 minutes and 42 seconds and it still hasn't worked
You're expecting too much, too soon. I found that I really turned a corner at the 7 minute mark. I suggest you start again and exercise a bit more patience.
You'll need a toothpick and a small piece of tape for your mustache. You'll should also try to get one of those old style pocket watches on a chain, since those look great with your future mustache. Just open up your watch glass, wedge the toothpick just under the minute hand, and tape it down for about 5 months and 2 days. Try not to forget or you'll have mustache all over the place.
It takes at least a Half an hour. Your patience will be rewarded.
Love the outdoor chair.
This is a great channel. I'm about 5 weeks into my first dedicated attempt at growing a beard. Lots of great tips, and inspiration here! Thanks man! 👊
I love how you don't have any splices in your vids. Just straight talk from start to finish. No editing needed. Keep up the great work man
Four months into my first yeard and I'm finally starting to love the stache! Definitely gotta comb it and wax it, but it's really looking good! Thanks for all the great vids!
I've been trimming my moustache every few weeks and not sure if I could really pull off an epic moustache, but after checking out your videos it gave me a boost of confidence to try! Just ordered wildwood beard oil, beard pocket comb, moustache wax, and moustache comb!
Epic beard sir! Thanks for the videos
Hey Chris, thanks for your order! I look forward to you getting it! Best of luck on your epic mustache!
So cool I've been wanting for years to grow a handle bar mustache but I never had the patients after the 1st bad trim I'd give up going to finally see this through so glad I found you thanks.
Just wanted to say you have an AMAZING beard!! There's a lot of people out there that don't appreciate a good beard and an epic mustache... Just wanted to say thanks for all your videos and for the confidence boost because there's too much negativity about beards out there.. Been growing my now for about three months still got a ways to go but looking good it's coming together:) thanks again man and I really mean that from my soul brother!!
Pinetop here (from FB). Thanks for the new video! Apparently I'm growing an Epic Mustache and I had been refering to it as a handlebar. Thanks for clearing that up. Epic sounds much better. Anyways thanks for the tips! I've been trimming it up on my upper lip like you stated because it was driving me a bit crazy. But actually I had just started letting it grow out. It's starting to do it's thing, so off we go. I'm about at my 4 month mark and loving it! I love that it's starting to get peoples attention. Thanks again John!
Hey Pinetop, it's a common thing to call it a handlebar but it's really only a technicality that you'd run into in the competition circuit. It's great though as you're realizing the bigger it gets the better!
I love how you are in a different place every time I watch a video. Also great tips, some I learned over the years with just a nice tight beard but these videos have helped with my failed attempts at a large beard. Thanks.
zulu2132 Thanks for watching and finding the info useful!
really love the chair out in the middle of nowhere. been growing the beard and mustache for a little over 2 months now and i love all your videos!
I started using beard oil after watching your video on beard oil. Had I had this in high school, I would probably have stopped shaving at that point in my life. This stuff is amazing. And know with a better understanding of mustache wax, I can't thank you enough for making these videos.
Also, it looks like you got a new layout on the website. Looks really nice.
Please make more vids! I follow beard UA-cam's, but yours are the best. I loved the party on you did this year.
Thank you for the advice, I've been getting some negative comments but you've encouraged me to ignore them and keep growing! Thank you Sir for all you do!
Best Beard/Moustache advice ever.
The first time I grew out an epic (8month) moustache, I got a lot of negative comment and a lot of positive comments. The positives were very encouraging, "NICE BEARD!" etc, and the negatives weren't all that original and ranged from "you auditioning for Duck Dynasty?" to my sister laughing out loud while we were having a semi-serious conversation, "I CANT EVEN WATCH YOU WHEN YOU TALK!!!"
Presently, the job I have requires that my moustache not be "epic" and so I trim it to slightly less than epic status.
First time I grew one out it drove me crazy... Next time I grew it out I barely noticed.
Gonna need to see a video on "How To Make-Out Whilst Having An Epic Mustache". :)
Jonathan Grandt The first epic mustache is always tough but like you said the second time around you hardly notice. I'm at the point where I forget that I even have a mustache!
Got an epic mustache similar to yours. I keep my beard length at about an inch and a half to two inches so it really stands out. You're right about it driving you nuts until it's tamed and under control. I've had mine for about 6 months now and will never go back to short. Love the look, feel, challenge, all of it. It gets a lot of good responses from folks too.
Love the channel, keep up the good work for all us beard growers and mustache men out here in cyber land.
MrMetuber1 Once you go for an epic mustache there's no going back :) Thanks for watching and enjoy your mustache!
Great video....learned some things I never knew about growing a mustache. Thanks.
Thanks for making your videos! I'm a first time beard grower here. Lol. I've been shaving since my facial hair started growing. I have been shave free since the beginning of July and it's really tough to not shave it or trim it. You've got my sub!
i was waiting for this one :D good video buddy
Thank you for this awesome video. I'm on my stache journey now. Rounding 4months along with the beard
Thanks for the inspiration!!! Im new to your channel and growing my beard/mustache. Im about a month and a half in growing facial hair and I get comments that I look old or whatever. I will definitely keep your words of encouragement in mind! keep up the good work, and nice beard, man!
geebergeistify Glad you found some inspiration! Best of luck with your beard!
The "it makes you look old(er)" comments aggravate me. Don't hear them often but when I do my go to response is "well if you don't like it, don't look at it" seems to shut everyone up pretty fast. May have a lil to do with im 6 ft tall 220 pounds and covered with tattoos lol
Just got my Wildwood mustache wax today! Already love it, really helps tame those hairs and keep them in place. Love the smell of the Wildwood too!
Great to hear you're already enjoying the Wildwood Zack!
Nice vid, love looking at the nature in background.
Absolutely perfect video on describing everything and what you're going to experience. I'm 10+ months into my beard and mustache, only thing is, I hate the feeling of wax in it. I tried using some other things like water based pomades, but I just don't like anything in there haha
Your beard inspires me to grow my mustache out, and to get past that awkward phase of it coming in contact with the mouth. Keep it up!!
MarksBucket Best of luck with your mustache Mark!
bro you reached down and touched my soul, I'm in the phase where it's starting to hit my lip and it's awkward as fuck. thanks for the motivation gonna keep the beard going strong.
Sir, you are the baron indeed! A lot of good advice, I've shaved recently, so looking forward to trying out your method and seeing the results in half a year :D
Bro I always rock a beard and growing mine out again. My mustache grows a lot and I have never let it grow to it’s potential and it’s not stopping lol. My mouth will soon be covered in a couple months. Your beard bro is awesome and I’m glad I came across your channel. Great beard bro👍🏿
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and your support! :)
Great video. I've been growing mine for 5 months, but the struggle I have is that there is no real line between the outside edges of my mustache and my beard. Makes styling it a challenge. Considered lowering my beard line a little to make the mustache more distinct, because it's sort of a mess right now.
Thanks for the video, good stuff. Keep em' coming
Will do Kenneth, thanks for watching!
Love your videos, it really shows that you are invested in the world of the beardz and are eager to share your experience! I'm on my 3rd month of my first try to grow and have only got positive feedback which feels great.
Great to have you aboard and that you're already enjoying your beard!
This is not my first time growing a handlebar mustache (my beard doesn't connect and is pretty thin so i shave it)
the only tip i have ever gotten before was from the internet and it said to not trim my mustache. this is my third time growing a dedicated handlebar and i can see how this is the most important thing. but having a knowledgeable bearded man encouraging me to keep going really helps. I've only had it for 2 months but I'm already getting lots of compliments on it because i wax it and comb it. thank you for your encouragement it really helps cuz i know the very itchy period is coming.... and I've set my goal for christmas this year!
John is not kidding about the mustache wax and how it works to manage a larger mustache. I am not at the point of the epic stache yet (6 months of growth or so, but I trimmed a couple of times before I decided to go big). I just recently purchased the wildwood wax from the Beard Baron and its making things much more tolerable for me. One of my favorite responses to a gentleman being questioned condescendingly about why he is growing a large beard was simply "Beard equals man." I think about that comment often when looking for the strength to push forward.
Great stuff! Thanks for for all the guidance. I've got heavy chin whiskers and a fairly decent mustache (just below the top lip and about 2" out from the corners of my mouth) but zip on the sides so any advice on promoting beard growth is appreciated.
Great advice Baron. First time growing one and it's pretty hard, but it's getting better and better. There is coverage where there was none, specifically close to the nostrils it's starting to get coverage. Will probably take a year total to get a mustache like yours, it's been 5 months now.
A lot of people can grow a decent beard within 1-2 months, but a decent mustache could take 6 to 12 months. So even though progress is of course individual and varies with each person, mustaches really does appear to grow much slower on average than beards.
Yes! Please make a video about dealing with the mustache and eating. I've decided to let my mustache grow out and the worst part is eating or just feeling like I have hair in my mouth. Sometimes I actually do get hair in my mouth lol.
Great advice again,thanks beard baron. One month in to growing my 'tache and you're right...I am already getting loads of comments,mainly positive,a few negative...a few just plain odd. My wife is coming round to the idea I think and as I said to her, "judge it when it is finished....I don't judge your hair cuts/dying/styling half way through....I comment when it's finished...so please do me the same courtesy!! Thanks again,Tim
tim garner Good approach Tim! And you've got the wisdom right as a mustache should never be judged while growing out. Great to hear your wife is on board, that's half the battle!
Great Videos!! Very Helpful!
Love the setting! Beard Baron rocks!
Thanks Stephan!
I had a lot of trouble growing my stache initially. What really helped me was when I finally trained most of it to grow to the sides. I don't like the feeling of wax, but oil and balm helps to train it.
I recently started growing a mustache about three months ago. I have a little bit of a natural curl. In that time, I did trim the hairs at my lip line cause I hated the way it felt and it made eating and drinking a new chore. After watching this, however, I feel like I ought to just let it happen as irritating as it might be at first. I already have a long goatee but I am letting the rest of my beard catch up. I am excited to get your wax and recommended combs in the mail so it will make growing easier. I think the one thing that I don't like the most about my mustache is the hairs that are growing between my beard and mustache at the corners of my mouth because they ARE mustache hairs but they are sort of rogue right now on their own waiting for the actual mustache to catch up. I'm tempted to but them but in the meantime, I recently (before being recommended to your videos and website) came across some decent pomade that I use just on the ends and a bit throughout just to help get those hairs out of my mouth haha.
So I've recently stumbled upon your channel here. Really enjoying the content and I just want to ask you a question about the curling of a mustache. When is the best time to start adding in the curl? would it be once you start applying mustache wax to manage and train the epic mustache or would it be later after the mustache has started to fill in properly? I noticed you've said your mustache isn't grown to have a curl and I'm just curious what the difference is in growing an epic mustache like yours and one that curls. If I missed this in one of your other videos I'm sorry for asking an already explained answer.
great vids, I'm pumped to be able to start growing my facial hair back as I no longer have to head out to work sites with H2S gas (have to be clean shaven so your respirator seals on your face in case of a gas leak). The mustache has always been the most irritating part. I'm 2 months into growing and appreciate the info and inspiration to power through and practice "when in doubt grow it out".
Ryan Leslie Glad you're enjoying everything Ryan and the fact that you get to grow it out!
Awsome video bro..and nice set up to make the video..im using ur oil is very good..im 2 month into my moustache getting great and 3 weeks into mu beard...
I'm working on growing my beard right now. first time ever in my 37yrs on this planet. its been about 2 months and so far so good on my cheeks and chin but boy you aren't kidding about the mustache growing at much different rate, mine is super slow. I also have two slight bald spots on each sides of my lips so I have to wait for my mustache to get longer to actually connect to the rest of the beard... the other thing is my hair is a light color so from a distance my mustache looks very thin but up close you can see a lot of hair, I'm just now getting to the point that the hair is breaking over the top part of my lip. maybe one day I'll have a nice beard like yours! thanks for all the tips. I sent you a photo of what I'm working with by the way
Time and patience are the 2 big ingredients as you are currently discovering. It's completely worth it and congrats on your first beard! Enjoy it!
Another awesome video! Best beard channel on UA-cam, can't wait to see more!
Thanks man! More on the way!
hey man this is very good to see that someone else has the same ideas as me. I am a year no trim and its the only way to achieve a decent moustache. I have a plan to get my own video on the same theme, plus lots others of course
I love it ! Great video
WashingtonShooter Thanks for watching!
Working to grow my first epic mustache. I am 3 months in. Eating and drinking is starting to get difficult.
Could you do a video on eating/drinking and etc. with a epic mustache soon?
Thank you for the UA-cam channel and products!
Hello Baron, is there any tip to make the moustache grow a bit more in the middle?, because for some reason, in the middle part of the upper lip, i have very little to no facial hair.
When will you upload the mustache trimming video. Can't wait.
Enjoying all the.videos!!
Lol I love the random recliner in the woods by a pond XD
YOU CANT ESCAPE THE EPIC MUSTACHE!
haha. do a how to eat with a beard/mustache next!
Thanks man. Good shit.
I appreciate your video. Lol I feel like its life lessons/knowledge.
Jesse Rosas Thanks for watching Jesse!
Always look forward to your videos. I'm now at 9 months of beard growth, and I've been letting the stache go for about 5. It did drive me absolutely insane!!! Now that it's getting longer it's a little more manageable. The growing out part took a lot of patience for sure. I have a super wavy beard and stache. I tried the wax just like you did on your previous video, but mine didn't come out that great. I still use your combing technique for the stache though, and I put some oil in it, and it looks fine. It'd be cool if we had a place where we could upload pictures of our progress. I've been watching you since your first video, and you'd be so proud of how far I've come. Thanks for all that you've done for us new beard growers.
Hey Jason, great to hear you're taking your beard to a whole new level! I agree, the first time really growing out the mustache is brutal. As time goes on it gets easier and you become more accustomed to it. I forget what it's like to not have a mustache this big!
The Beard Baron Just uploaded a profile pic.. Thanks for the inspiration!
Looking great Jason! Keep it going!
Sometimes I comb my mustache straight down so it blends in with my beard. It makes my mouth disappear and people give me strange looks.
Thank you sir for your response
Another great upload.The advice about not trimming as it reaches the top lip has just come in time.
That stage of the game is probably the hardest one to get by as the impulse to trim is at an all time high.
The main thing I took from this is that in order to avoid chewing on my 'stache I need to use wax, not steel. When that clicked into place, a whole lot about why I don't quite have the mustache I want clicked into place right behind it.
So thanks!
Really inspired by the epic moustache. Am just at stage of trying to grow my first proper beard so time will tell how it all pans out and whether the epic is possible for me.
My dad's had a beard for the longest time, so goodness knows why I have taken so long to consider even trying, but giving it a good go.
Question though not about beards but about matters sartorial if I may.
Love your b&w shirt and really suits you and your bowler / bearded look. Would love to know where the shirt is from.
Great beard work man, really keeping me focused and strong on the way to an awesome beard - here's hoping anyway.
t-t
technicalterry3 If I remember correctly the shirt is from Nordstrom, big fan of their shirts.
I have an epic moustache and I think that you never get 100% used to the hairs around and in your mouth. But it does get better. Only last night when I was flossing, one hair got tangled with the dental floss and ended up getting stuck between my teeth. I got it out unharmed, but that was a first! If you want something like this, you can say goodbye to drinking from a glass or a cup, stock up on straws! I actually carry one around with me just in case. And eating some foods like ice cream, chips and dip, or any other messy foods is definitely a challenge. So stock up on napkins too! As soon as I'm done eating, whether at home or a restaurant, it's off to the rest room to wash up and dry.
+The Beard Baron. i have a dense mustache and have been growing it for i think about 2 months. it covered my upper lip except for the middle part and it started touching my lower lip. is it ever going to cover the middle part? and how long is usually the terminal length of the mustache, i mean, is there a chance that my mustache wont cover both lips?
Awesome info
I also started to grow my stache later on after growing the rest of the beard. I have the long sides, but the area above my lips I ended up breaking down and trimming it a month ago. I'm giving it another go, this time with some of your wax.
I can't wait for your video on eating with that epic stache. I'm in def need of tips for that. The current girl that I'm into LOVES my beard... (+100 pts right there), but I'm not sure her reaction when I grow that epic stache haha.
Wish me luck.
Well you definitely have the right idea! Just sticking to your guns and not trimming the middle part is the key. Having a supportive girlfriend really helps as well! Best of luck!
ive been growing my beard for about 1.5 months so far after shaving a 3 month beard off for a job. The only problem i have is slight patching on both the left and right side of my face, the hair on my cheek doesn't quite connect to the sides of my mouth, i also have patches on both sides of the soul patch area and the middle of my mustache doesn't grow anywhere near as fast as the rest of it. My mustache goes into my mouth slightly and tickles my nose but the middle directly between my nostrils doesn't grow much
Hello The Beard Baron I really enjoy your videos I am into the first week of growing my mustache and I was wondering do the hairs on your upper lip all grow at a different pace? because I have some hairs at the right end of my upper lip but at the left end of my upper lip I have slim to none any advice?
Hey man your videos are awesome I'm growing my beard and moustache out together for the first time, My profile photo is my beard at 6 weeks, Now I'm never touching my moustache I usually trim the top mid section and leave the rest but its nice to know its best to just let it all go and train it thanks.
Hi Beard Baron! First time writer. I am a big fan. Thanks for the great information. I am wondering if you deliver to China? As I just recently moved here and am growing out my beard for the first time in a decade. Thanks.
When I look at your facial hair the word that comes to mind is LUSH haha, I'm jealous
great vid. im almost four months into not touching my moustache and its getting really big. tried last year trimmed a lot an failed. key is definitely to just let it rock.
I'm officially joining the club. I really want to grow my facial hair out far as I can. I need all the help I can get
Cannot wait until I am old enough to be able to grow a proper moustache and beard
The Beard Baron
do you trim away the hair between your moustache and beard?
my beard start pretty low on my cheecks so now i have e small line of hair next to my lips (like a ring beard)
and those hair go wild when i wax my stache
i was thinking of triming the hairs on the side of my lips to seperate the stache and beard
what do you think?
Greetings , Thank you for the trimming tips. I was doing a few things wrong prior to watching the video. Now patiently waiting for it to grow back....next time will use your suggestions. ....when it grows back :(
You should toates do a video on coloration of beard and mustache hair so I actually have some input on the random patches of blonde to light brown and black! thanks love the beard and the videos!
Saw the outdoor chair and instantly liked
Hey, love your videos. You've inspired me to grow a beard. Problem is, I'm a young guy (just 19) and it's not completely filled in. I've got the mustache covered, my chin, jawline, and sideburns. My mustache doesn't connect to my chin though, and my cheeks are patchy and don't go all the way up. I know I have to wait for it to fill in for a few years, but I was wondering if you could recommend any styles that would be good to use until then, maybe? ^^ Should I just try for the mustache or..? What did you do when you were younger?
Man I love your beard, I was wondering how you can make the lines even ??
Almost two months into my first attempt at an epic 'stache. Everything said about the first time being a struggle is accurate and I'm just trying to enjoy the adventure!1
When would you say is a good time to start using wax? My 'beard' is aroun 5 weeks old now. My strongest asset is by far my moustache, closesly followed by my under neck and along the jaw line. My moustache is a little wild atm, i currently use an all natural styling product to help tame the strays out to the side, and a little bit of 'dax' on the very end to get a bit of a point as it seems a shame not to take advantage of the tache as my facial hair currently stands! Thanks!!
How do you train your moustache to "curl" into a handlebar and I only want the stache so do I shave the rest of my facial hair while growing it out? If so at what point do I stop shaving going towards my stache?
is blue majic coconut oil ok to use to grow a mustache i apply it on with a small brush daily to moisturize it and keep it shiny
So currently growing my beard and mustache for the first time but there’s a gap in the middle of my mustache but there’s hair there growing slower then the rest but will it grow out ?
Once again you information Its great keep up the great work and will be buying some of that tash wax asap thanks again. Michael UK
+Michael Allcock did u buy anything from his store? howas delivery to UK? thinking of buying all sorts.
I'm about 6.5 months into my mustache, with very minor trimming. I've noticed the center of your mustache goes pretty much straight down, and isn't swept to the sides, even at the ends of the follicles. Do you trim the middle portion to maintain this "straight" look, and then sweep everything else to the sides? Great videos by the way, they have helped immensely.
i have quite a long bear and stash but one side of my moustache is thicker than the other and when combed out it is noticeable. any tips to deal with this?
I'm 22 so my beard hasn't filled in completely yet (especially between my lips and my chin, and I have no connectors whatsoever) but my mustache is fierce. It's practically begging to grow out into an "epic stache." Would it be unwise to stop trimming it since my beard isn't full yet? I fear that it might look kind of awkward.
Baron I have has my beard and mustache for over a year and my mustache is not even close I know you stated the hair all grows at different rates but am I doing something wrong too?
I've been growing my mustache for about 5-6 months now and for the past month my mustache hairs look really out of place and straggly what do I do? And if I wanna grow it like yours would I style it down or curl it up?
When would be the best time to start using moustache wax ? I'm in my second month of growth (stache and beard) and some hairs of my stache are growing in all directions :-)
Hey man! Great video. It motivated me to grow out my mustache and see how it goes. However, I do have one concern. Whenever i wash my face or apply beard oil on my stache, 1 or 2 hairs seem to come out while doing that and that concerns me majorly. It doesnt happen everyday or every single time but it does happen. Is that normal?
Question regarding getting past both lips. I have had a mustache for months...probably a year. Granted, mistakenly i trim it because i comb it constantly and pick at it, touching it, biting it and notice split ends on it when i pluck some out, which i probably shouldn't do. But no matter what though, when i let it grow, it gets pretty long but usually ends up curling into my mouth where yours seems to go out and over. Literally my hugs my lip and goes into my mouth. Is that simply a sign that it's not as thick as it looks? I feel when i look at it, it's more empty then people think or it looks. Just curious. Also, did you have that problem of always touching it and stuff?
Great video! What do you suggest for a guy like me? My mustache grows in the middle area and the ends just fine, but there is a gap-space on each side. My mustache looks like hair, space, hair, hair, space, hair. Thanks!!
After having a "normal" mustache for a while I have decided to grow mine out for the first time. I would trim and thin it out. Not that's it's grown out some I can see where I thinned too much. Should I keep it growing or trim it to one length then continue to grow it out?
I have a problem with my moustache not growing in as thick as I want its always showing my lip skin and I got black hair and id like to know how I can get it to not be so revealing
Baron, I have a big question, how I must to comb my moustache if I wanna a walrus ? My middle hair tend to grow from outside in. Do I must comb it to the ouside and when it grows and cover the upper lip to the bottom? Thank you!
one side of my stache is longer than the other. should I get it evened out before embarking on the epic journey or will it sort itself out with time?
Your videos are a good source of info Mr baron. I'm about 5 months in to my first beard and tashe and I have a question. Should I go to a proper barber for my first trim or do it myself as my beard is getting abit wild.
Barrett Inskip I always encourage men to trim their own beard. There are good barbers out there but it can be a real gamble. I get a lot of emails of men getting the beards butchered at the barber shop. The sooner you master trimming your beard the better of you are.
How is your hair so thick ? Wish mine was like that
i recently gave in on my mustache journey and trimmed it out of my mouth cause it was causing issues while eating.. i left the sides long and it looks better at the moment and is easier but i wanna try and push through that awkward phase this time and get to that big mustache.. im only 19 though and my stache isnt that "big" hahaha
