You can straighten your curly mustache by using a combination of a round brush and a blow dryer.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Grow it Out: You'll need sufficient length for straightening to be effective.
-
Wash and Condition: Start with a clean and conditioned mustache. This will make the hairs more pliable and easier to style.
-
Apply Heat Protectant: Protect your mustache hair from heat damage by applying a small amount of heat protectant product.
-
Blow Dry and Brush:
- Use a round brush to guide your mustache hairs outwards and downwards.
- Point the blow dryer behind the brush, directing the heat onto the hairs as you brush. This will help straighten and dry the hairs simultaneously.
-
Swoop and Shape: As you blow dry, focus on swooping each side of your mustache outwards to achieve your desired shape.
Important Considerations:
- Heat Settings: Start with a low heat setting on your blow dryer to minimize damage. Gradually increase the heat if needed, but avoid using the highest setting.
- Patience and Practice: Straightening a curly mustache may take some practice to master. Be patient and persistent.
- Hold: You may need a small amount of mustache wax or styling product to hold the straightened style in place. Use sparingly to avoid a stiff or unnatural look.
- Maintenance: Humidity can cause your mustache to revert to its natural curl. You may need to re-straighten it periodically throughout the day or use a stronger holding product.
