About Chevron

The chevron gets its name from its inverted-V shape: thick in the middle and tapering slightly toward the corners of the mouth. It’s left long enough to cover the upper lip, but the bottom edge is trimmed in a straight line along the lip. It needs dense mustache growth, so it works best for people with a thick mustache.

On oval, square and long faces, it creates a strong horizontal emphasis and stays in proportion with larger features. It takes four to six weeks to grow. A weekly trim and a mustache comb keep it off the lip when eating. With a mullet or slicked back hair, it creates a retro look.

What’s the difference between a chevron and a walrus mustache?

A chevron is thick but trimmed neatly at the lip line. A walrus is bushier and longer, hanging over the lip. You can try both on the same photo.

My mustache is thin. Can I grow a chevron?

A chevron needs a dense mustache. On a thinner mustache, a natural or pencil mustache may work better. Mane shows a full mustache; the real result depends on your growth.
