Horseshoe mustache
A thick mustache whose ends drop straight down on either side of the mouth, all the way to the jawline, like an upside-down horseshoe. The chin and cheeks are shaved. A bold, retro look.

About Horseshoe
The mustache above the upper lip is kept thick, while its two ends run down beside the mouth as straight bars, usually one to two fingers wide, and stop at the jawline. The chin and cheeks are shaved daily or every other day. Keeping the edges of the bars parallel and symmetrical is the most important part of the style.
On a square face, it echoes an angular jawline, and on a long face, the thick mustache adds horizontal emphasis. On a diamond face, it frames a narrow chin from both sides, and on an oval face, it looks balanced. The full shape usually takes two to three months to grow. With a mullet, slicked back hair, a pompadour or shaggy hair, it creates a retro look.
What’s the difference between a horseshoe and a walrus mustache?
A walrus is bushy and hangs over the upper lip, but its ends don’t reach the jawline. In a horseshoe, the ends run down beside the mouth as vertical strips all the way to the jaw. Try both on the same photo to compare.
The hair below the corners of my mouth is patchy. Can I grow a horseshoe?
The vertical bars depend on that area, so patchy growth there can make them look broken. Mane shows a full mustache; the real result depends on your own growth.
