What to tell your barber

“I’d like an English mustache, parted in the middle with a narrow body. Keep the length of the tips and only trim what touches my lip. Could you show me how to wax the tips straight to the sides? Cheeks and chin shaved.”

Tip: show the result you made in Mane too. A description plus a picture is the clearest brief.

Why choose it

  • A refined, classic character
  • Balances a long face with a horizontal line
  • Works great with neat hairstyles

Keep in mind

  • Needs waxing and shaping every day
  • The tips take 2–3 months to grow

About English

The body of the mustache is kept narrow and combed from the center of the upper lip out to each side. The tips are grown past the corners of the mouth, thinned out with wax and set in a straight line toward the sides. It takes a quick comb and a little wax every morning.

On oval, square, long and diamond faces, the horizontal line adds width to the middle of the face and balances proportions, especially on a long face. The tips usually take two to three months to grow long enough, so keep the middle short and leave the tips alone in the meantime. It suits neat hairstyles like a side part, slicked back hair, a pompadour or a comb over fade.

What’s the difference between an English and a handlebar mustache?

Both keep the tips long and shape them with wax. On a handlebar, the tips curl upward; on an English mustache, they stay thin and point straight out to the sides. Try both on the same photo to compare.

How do I shape an English mustache?

Part it in the middle with a mustache comb, then warm a pea-sized amount of wax between your fingers and pull the tips outward to thin them. You can already see the look in Mane; the real result depends on your own growth.
