When you start growing facial hair, the first two things that are likely to strike your mind is mustache and beard styles. Growing an unkempt mustache definitely does not look attractive. If you plan to grow it, then grow it the right way. There are many different types of facial hair styles, in particular mustache styles that you can think about growing, and some of the best are mentioned below.

Natural Mustache – you don’t need any kind of aid to get this kind of mustache. You just need to allow your hair to grow from about a maximum of 1.5 cm from the end of your upper lip.

Hungarian Mustache – this gives a big and bushy appearance, starts from the upper lip’s center and is pulled to the sides. You need to allow your hairs to grow from about a maximum of 1.5 cm from the end of your upper lip.

English Mustache – this type of mustache starts at the upper lip, from the center, and when it grows it needs to be pulled sideways to form whiskers and then needs to be curled upwards.

Imperial Mustache – in this style whiskers grow from the upper lips and also the cheeks and are curled upwards.

Fu Manchu Mustache – in this style the mustache starts growing normally, and as it starts tapering towards the end they are left to grow long and are turned downwards, many a time, far below the chin.

Pancho Villa Mustache – it is quite like the Fu Manchu style but is thicker.

This style needs lots of maintenance and needs to be clipped frequently to look neat.

Pencil Mustache – this style of mustache is also known as ‘mouthbrows’. It is straight, narrow and thin like a pencil, is closely clipped and gives an outline like appearance to the upper lip. While following this style a shaven gap needs to be maintained between the mustache and the nose.

Walrus Mustache – this style has a bushy appearance, droops down on the lips, generally covering the entire mouth.

Painter’s Brush Mustache – this one looks quite like the Chevron, but has no curve on the underside. It is instead flat and looks like a paintbrush.
