How do you grow a moustache?

You've got good taste if you land on our article dedicated to mustache growth! The coming year is full of promise, especially for moustachioed men, who are multiplying and overtaking ordinary bearded men. Alone or accompanied, the moustache is the new black of the fall, which has already spread to the United States and is likely to arrive in Europe before long. We might as well get a head start!

 

A single watchword: patience

 

Well, growing a moustache means asking yourself the right questions. To have a beautiful line of hair, you need to give it time to blossom, and then let it grow serenely. To help you achieve this, Bonhomme has some tips on how to get it right quickly, without a hair out of place. If you don't know what to do, if you're suffering from beard and moustache hair loss, Bonhomme advises you in this dedicated article.

 

Plan your makeover

 

Our first piece of advice is simple: plan your growth period. Gentlemen, no barber in Paris or Nantes can do anything about unsightly growth. Each hair grows at its own pace: we estimate that you need the first week for the down to give way to a semblance of a moustache. 

 

If you want to surprise your nearest and dearest, or if you're worried about your moustache becoming the new attraction around you, why not plan it during your vacation? During a week's break, your only challenge will be not to touch it!

 

If you find the aesthetics undesirable, you have a good week to endure. Don't start fiddling with it or trimming the edges: trimming your moustache will come much later! Patience is unavoidable: you need to check how quickly your hairs grow, as well as their color - yes, gentlemen, the color of your moustache can be very different from that of your beard -, their shape - since they're shorter hairs, they can prick up more easily -, whether they've become brittle, and so on.

 

When down gives way to a real moustache

 

Once your first week is over, you finally tackle the decisive stage of the second week. You notice the shape of your primitive moustache, with its flaws, short or longer hairs and so on. Here are our top tips for adopting the right gestures.

 

Find his style, but not only

 

Finding your beard and moustache style, or moustache style alone, can be helpful: take a look at our dedicated "guide to your moustache" article, to find out which style you'd like to undertake. 

 

You can always visit your barber in Paris, or your barber in Nantes, to have him or her advise you on the best moustache for you, according to your face shape. This advice could prove invaluable, should you find that the ones available don't match what you want! 

 

Surround yourself with the right tools to avoid ruining everything

 

It would be a shame if you didn't know how to make your moustache kit the way it should be. To do this, we always recommend that you take a moustache kit with the tools recommended by your barber in Paris, or your barber in Nantes, at one of the Bonhomme salons. 

 

In fact, depending on your skin and the quality and growth of your hair, it would be a shame to ruin your work with an unsuitable tool. If you've made a hole in your beard or moustache, Bonhomme reassures you: it's all reparable! Just visit this page to find out.
