WELL GROOMED
1. Groom and trim this mustache
regularly.
2. Trim the hair above the upper lip,
from end to end, using a Wahl Power
Pro Corded Clipper, Trimmer/
Detailer. Do not allow the mustache to
cover the entire upper lip.
THE PRO ’STACHE
Do you get five o’clock shadow at 11 in
the morning? You may just be brewing
a professional mustache, and it’s
extra-important to keep this one wellgroomed.
“This is the man who came
out of the womb with a five o’clock
shadow and has sported a mustache
ever since,” Serafino says. Some tips
for achieving the Pro ’stache:
3. Always wash your mustache before
trimming to soften the hair, then leave
the hair slightly damp while trimming.
But remember: Damp hair shrinks
slightly when it dries.
4. After washing, apply SheaMoisture
Shave Shea Butter Beard Softener
& Skin Protector Pre-Shave Oil on
your mustache to maintain a healthful
appearance. This conditioner will help
control unmanageable hairs and soften
the texture of the mustache.
THE ARTIST ’STACHE
If your mustache is a constantly
evolving work of art, this is you.
According to Serafino, “This is the
man who uses his facial hair as a
palette and isn’t afraid to make a style
statement. Remember that patience is
key. The best feature of hair is that it
grows back, so you can experiment if
you exercise patience.” To maintain an
Artist ’stache:
4. Style the length
of your mustache by
combing a pea-sized
amount of Pinaud
Moustache Wax
through the facial hair
with a fine tooth comb.
1. Use a fine-tooth comb to not only
clean your mustache but train the facial
hair to grow and lie flat.
2. Use trimming scissors to control
the length of your mustache and a
mustache trimmer to design the shape.
3. To reduce bulk in a close-cropped
style, use a fine-tooth comb to separate
and lift surface hair; trimming scissors
should be used to cut away the bulk.
