DESCRIPTION:
Trimming and styling a handlebar mustache can be tricky, and often times beardsmen choose not to try it out simply because they aren't sure how to go about trimming and styling it. In this video, Spencer shows you his simple process he's used for years to really define a handlebar mustache and have it really separate from the beard!
There are really 3 main areas you need to trim:
The upper lip: trimming your handlebar mustache at the upper lip can not only create better shape, but will also allow easier access for food/drinks to enter your mouth. Kissing is also a bit easier/better according to some...
The Ends: You want the ends to be even, or as close to even as you can. Don't drive your self crazy though. Simply take your scissors and trim the ends evenly.
Separate from your beard: To really set your handlebar mustache off, you want to separate it from your beard. By trimming the hairs under your handlebar mustache, it will really make it stand out against your beard. This can make all the difference!

Handlebar wearer for 3 years. My advice is: never trim wet. Or with wax. Just comb it and trim the ends dry. If you do it wet or waxed. You’ll find that you’ll cut too much. But find out for yourself if you’ll like
I think this just varies based on your beard. I have a lot of density by my stache and if I don't wax it first it's near impossible to know how I'm trimming it. Styling first helps me a lot and I never feel like I'm trimming too much off
Thank you so much for all the content you make about beard styling tips. I've been super nervous to trim my beard/stache, but having watched videos you've made over and over has definitely given me the confidence to style and cut my own beard. Again, thank you! You guys at Live Bearded are awesome
Dude that mustache is majestic 👌🏼
Spence definitely has one epic stache on him!
Yep. Growing a handlebar stache. Thank you, Brother.
Wow!! That last tip changed everything. Wish I knew that long ago! Thanks!!
*This is some fantastic tutorial for the Handlebar Stache. Thanks for sharing with all of us face hair folks!*
Such a great looking stache.
Another simple easy to follow step by step walk thru from the handsome beast ❤️
I just wanna say THANK YOU for the profile shot and side shot comparison. Its like you're 3D modeling in Maya/Blender/Zbrush and switching perspectives and it really gives off exactly what your trying to do. U earned my sub for that
Appreciate the support brother! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Spencer !! Firstly you have a great beard and a perfect handlebar stache !! I'm In the process of growing the similar beard and and a handlebar just like you...I have seen many videos but your videos are simply best brother !! Let's live bearded !! Veer here from India.
Hell yeah! That guy has my beard and moustache goals... perfection 👏 👌
Man I really needed this advice! My nose neighbor is about as long as yours in this video, and I desperately needed to learn how to maintain it! I’ve been rocking just the stache by itself for over a year and I love it!
Glad you were able to find this video useful my brother! We are always there to help anyway we can.
Man I’m glad I found your channel.. I’ve finally been committed to a full beard with a handlebar mustache.. I’m a guy that usually likes to pull off the stubble look but sometime I would get lazy an not trim/shave for like 2 or even 3 months an my beard would start to grow long an eventually look like crap bc I didn’t know how to maintain an ect.. I’m pushing 5 months now since I last shaved my face an my mustache I would always trim my lip line but this time I haven’t but now I need to go an do some Maintenance bc my mustache is getting so long that when I drink or eat it gets in the way an I constantly comb it an carry a comb with me bc I didn’t know about the wax.. also in different video I seen your morning routine so may I ask where you get all your stuff for that an trimmers an scissors because I’m dedicated to growing this beard out.. this is the longest I’ve had it since 09 but back in 09 I kept my mustache trimmed an not long to where it will grow into a handlebar style so I’m excited.. also I have very long hair but keep it pulled back 👍🏻 thank you for your time on these videos bc I was never taught how to shave or anything lol I just did it on my own an why I would usually do stubble bc it was easy but at the same time hate having a clean shaven face
Such good advice. My moustache looks great sitting on top of my beard following these steps. Just bought my first batch of Live bearded products yesterday and am impressed with the all round experience. Keep up the good work lads, from Australia

You’ve got one of the best beard/handlebar mustaches I’ve ever seen…definitely in the top 5. I just started my beard 11 weeks ago and, I’m going to give the handlebar a try in the next couple of weeks.
You got it! Appreciate the support. We are always here to support you however we can!

Glad it was helpful! We are always here to support you however we can, you can always email us at support@livebearded.com for any tips and tricks.
thanks man. i have a wiry stache but i will try
Great video. TX for the tips. I've always wanted a handlebar mustache and I finally got some gray in the mustache to match the beard, so I'm going for it!
Go for it brother!!! Happy we could help!
Your videos are the best!
Thanks for the support brother!
Great Training! I've been growing my beard for about 2 years, and I'm just starting to study high end beard care. Thanks again.
2 years is solid bro, Happy to help you out on that journey! Feel free to let us know if you have any questions regarding beard care and we'll be more than happy to help a brother out! ✌️
Awesome beard brother... love the tips. Loads of detail and very helpful 👍
Thanks for stopping by bro!
Great tips, thank you! I had a good handlebar going then I made the mistake of trimming too wide above the lip and my handlebars are thin now. Would you recommend trimming those back, equal with the rest, so all the hairs can grow out again together?
Trying to get my stache looking like this. Where it just lays right over the beard.
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
I'm still kinda confused on EXACTLY what part of the beard/mustache makes up the handlebar. I mean, does the handlebar start from the nostril down or from another point?
My ends aren't as thick as yours and brittle looking.
Do I start oiling them or am I just not ready to grow/maintain.
Thanks for the video.
Fantastic beard and tache!
Such a quality stache!
Man I appreciate this video. My handlebar has been good so far until the beard hairs underneath have blended in and got really annoying. Glad I found this trim video. Gonna try and do some trimming tomorrow.
Yeah bro! We have a ton of mustache maintenance videos. Be sure to watch Spencer talk about separating the stash! It makes all the difference. Let us know if there is any other way we can support you!
Epic stash!
Nice vid. Nice tache bro. I will apply your tips. Thanks
I want a handle bar mustache because I love vests and I believe formal vests and handle bar mustaches are a great compliment to the clothes
A man after my own heart!!
Looking great, nice stache buddie!
Sweet!, Good tips!
Game changer... new sub!
Thank you.
Excellent advice for my mustache, thank you. Styling before hand and tools for it helped a lot. Patience and focus is a lost art, so adding it to the self grooming process is an excellent reminder.
absolutely my man, glad we could help!
Your stache is killer man! I actually like the natural look better myself, or somewhere halfway in between! Your beard is wonderful! Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for the feedback man! I definitely play around with mine personally and let it grow out a bit longer to fully cover the lip or trim it back to shape it up a bit more. That's what's so great about it, it'll grow back! Live Bearded, brother!
Great advise , Thanks !
Anytime brother!
Love the channel mate! From Australia.
You should add some new vids bro...
Hell yeah brother I appreciate the advice.
Anytime bro!
Great beard !!
Thanks!
Great great great video. Thank you! May I ask how one can make a moustache that points to the sides rather than curling up?
Wax and trimming brother! you gotta train it to go where you want!
Thanks so much for this video
Hey Brother!! Anytime that we can help, or if you have a video idea that you may want to see, just hit us up at support@livebearded.com! we got your back brother!
Greatness! More of this!
we'll keep 'em coming brother!
Perfect
Straight forward - AMAZING
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Any tips for growing direction problem. Other side is perfect handlebar but other side is going down all the time. The hair just curves down...
Question, are you just trimming the under area of the mustache or trim the whole center of the stache
BTW great beard and moustache.
Great advice on the mustache! I've been growing my mustache out for several times, but I always seem to be trimming it down too far to the outside of the lip. I've decide to not do that anymore and keep it short and neat. Though, your advice could help me reach the actual handlebar level. I've seen my mustache ends grow into my beard every single time as well, so I will surely try to shorten the hairs around the tips to see how that turns out. Next to that I have decided to grow out my beard to double the length, currently it's about the 4 month length. I'm growing out all of it, and a short and neat mustache just doesn't go with that to balance it out.
Hey Brother!! You can get to an EPIC stache and beard combo, I have NO doubt!! If you need any help at all, just hit us up at www.livebearded.com
Freddy Vermanen Agreed, a big beard & little moustache do not look right.
Wats d length of the scissors you use bro
Great tutorial, very helpful Spence! Really like that trick on trimming the beard hair behind the stache.
Thanks brother!
it' s work with head wax ?
Do you trim the hairs high up on your cheeks to fade it a little and then let the lower (to your jaw) hairs make the length? Nobody ever talks about this (here or the beard trimming videos)
This is the stash I want!!!
Check out all our grooming videos and you can see how to get it bro!
thanks , excellent
trimming the handlebar is an art!
That looks like a good wax. What kind is it? I can't seem to find a good one, the ones I buy just look like glue in the stache. Unless I'm doing it wrong.
Typically that will come from there being simply too much wax in the product. Ours is a nice medium hold wax that won't give that look of build up!
damn, that is sick. what wax do you use?
i got the problem of my mustache growing straight out / lots of volume. i do like to keep it short but I'm growing everything out at the moment
wish a had a stash like that!
Thankyou! I have been letting my stash grow wild and untamed for about 4 months and now thanks to this video I can trim it properly.
Wooooo! Glad we could help bro!
2 years wild stache here. I curled it into a circle before I worked up the balls to trim up.
Retired now (finally) and living bearded! I received my first living bearded Christmas gift from my family! AWESOME, what a great assortment of goodies! Merry Christmas brother and I will be living bearded! Semper Fidelis, God bless America!
Woooooo! Thanks for your service. #livebearded brother!
Live Bearded, thank you my bearded brother! I have seen several videos on beard and stach grooming. But yours are the best, I am modeling mine after yours! God bless and love bearded forever! Semper Fidelis
Handle Bar brothers for life!
Live Bearded, amen! Is there a way I can send you a picture so you can see what I am doing?
You can always reach out to our team by emailing support@livebearded.com
Thanks for the great tips on separation. Stash for 50years, brand new beard.
This is the first time in my 56 yrs I've tried growing handlebars. Received a lot of advice from friends and they were all wrong. I was told to NEVER trim!!! Because I haven't, the growth in the middle is driving me nuts because it doesn't want to bend to my will/wax, I have considered giving up, until this video. Thanks!!! Will attempt to trim.
Keep pressing on brother! We're always here if you have any questions!
Same. I trimmed the middle too and it paid off. It was so asymmetric.
Cool, nice guidance.. thanks for sharing man!
I'm looking for some input here.... I've had a handlebar style very similar to you for 2-3 years... I'm wanting to shift my style to a more straight mustache where the tips are aimed down and out(like towards the jaw line). Like if you start at the tip of the nose and aim towards the shoulders at a 45 degree angle. Essentially like the handlebar but letting the mustache be straight (pointed towards the shoulders) instead of curling up. So my question is, with the mustache being trained to be curled for so long, can you train it to be straight?.. do you have any experience with training mustahces when going from one style to another?
Thanks for your time :)
That is a great question! Shoot us a note to support@livebearded.com and we can get that question directly to spencer!
I took his advice to trim the center but that was a mistake just let them grow out so eventually they will all be the same length, then trim, not before! Another reason for this is you’ll never coral the trimmed hairs and they will wreck your stash like young hairs with the old. This is hard to do and will take months but once they’re all even with no more short hairs, perfect!
Since you lose hairs all the time and have young ones growing in their place. Don’t you always have some short hairs messing up the stache?
Nice video.But I am trying to grow a handlebar mustache.I already have a nice beard going. You were showing in this video how to maintain it?How do you actually grow it ,how do you trim it so it grows long?
Thanks! For a handlebar mustache, keep it moisturized with beard oils or balms. Regular shaping helps it grow long. Goodluck man!
the real beard lovers l,m on it !
I really don't like the blunt cut look. I like to feather the tip but it's really hard to do.
Any experience with Firehouse light wax opposed to Death Grip wax?
We're a product company and offer our own mustache wax bro. So, we don't have much experience with anything outside of our brand at this time.
if i can just get it trimmed up nice i have a huge handlebar mustache. been growing it for 3 years. really need to find a barbor who can do this for me right. very afraid to mess it up.
You are fortunate that your mustache is a different shade than your beard. It really helps set it apart from the beard. My beard and stache are both rather salt and peppery so everything blends together. I trim my cheek line so that it comes down to the corners of my mouth rather than letting the beard grow up my cheeks and that helps a bit but not much. The separation trimming might help but that makes me nervous!
Try dying your beard a shade darker, or the stache a shade lighter. Just for men works for me.
@@rancherhicks I've tried Just For Men before but unfortunately, it caused weeping sores on my chin. I'm at the stage now where I really like the white/ silver coming in and don't want to alter that, at least not permanently. I did try some trimming and it helped quite a bit. I also need to grow more of the stache out to make the handlebars thicker.
@@LittleFullLotaSap Gotcha, just a thought. Today someone thought I was my grandsons father. So jfm helps me if you know what I mean.
Thanks for making this video. One question... I have curly hair and the right side of my moustache always droops downwards instead of upwards after I shape it upwards with the wax. It looks fine at first but quickly ends up looking like a bird in flight with one drooping broken leg. How should I fix this problem?
This happens to me ALL the time, you just have to train it. Over time it'll get better. Have you used a blow dryer on it? I would sit your blow dryer directly below the point of your stach facing upwards and you comb it out. You can email us at support@livebearded.com for more tips and tricks.
@@livebearded Thanks! I hadn't tried to curl it upwards in over a year, but followed your trimming instructions and it holds up on both sides:D Even used the blow drying tip... Works brilliantly! Thanks, man!
Getting their growing my handlebars out again. My advice to the newbies is heavy wax at night when you sleep it will help to train.
Great advice brother! Thanks!!
Challenge accepted Sir!
Great ‘stache, the tips are great and I’m gonna share this with friends. I just hope my ‘stache grows in thicker I still have that young mans stache so it looks thin
Time will get that stache awesome!
Grow the stache same time as the beard? Just shape and style as you go? Just finished up 22 years in the Navy, so I'm starting my post service beard.
First off thank y ot u for your service! We here at LB are AVID supporters of our men and women who fight for our freedoms. Secondly, yessir! Grow it all for about 3-4 months before touching it. Only line up your cheek line and neck line so it doesn't get too wild and crazy. At the end of that time, you'll be able to see your real growth patterns and be able to go for the look you desire. Also, be sure to use good all natural products to avoid damage to your skin and beard! Check out our line of products below!

How to.grow stylish moustache?
I gave up. I fear the Barbour. Every time I go they butcher me. I say hey I want to grow the fullest beard possible just simply shape and clean the edges. I want to grow it out long and full. Boom! I get a buzz cut to my beard. I say easy on the buzzers they say it's cool I'm just doing what you asked. I've even got a freaking strap beard. I want handlebars boom freaking buzz cut. These are old barbers. Even some newer barbers they say the same thing you don't want to be no hipster. I know one thing for sure, I'm not a millennial and I'm not a hipster. Just a fat guy looking to hide his 3 chins and look good. Can you please do a video on proper Barber lingo?
I am the same way , Brother! I trust myself and maybe one other to touch my mane! Just research and be aware of your needs and just trim slow!! YOU GOT THIS!!-JP
MrMoon_ start working on your beard yourself brother... it’s not that hard... there is enough tutorials out there for you to start taking your beard in your own hand!
I just came back from the barber. Asked him to shape the sides and level the bottom, before I knew he had trimmed half my mustache off. Never again.. I'm done.
@@Dhamian At least you have the other half.
You see. I've had legitimate barbours ask if I want my beard styled or trimed over the years. When I say yeah the only one that actually got it was this run down place in Rhoad Island. Great lad, but not a lot of business. Just learned to do it myself. Ironically it just grows in like a handlebar now and the most I have to do is do a lil curl at the tip with organic gel if need be. Trust yourself and you're golden. (I do fresh shave every few months just to get a fuller stache, but only becacuse I know how my facial hair grows.) Study your face and you'll find your groove
Some awesome tips bro,gonna try them out now
Woooooo! Keep us updated
@@livebearded trimmed the moustache just as you said,to create the handlebar effect,trimmed the sides and applied the wax with the pinch style you showed,and it looks really good,also trimmed my beard length,never been so nervous in my life !! Haha,but it looks awesome now bro,thank you Man,amazing tips and demonstration on how to do it..Big thanks bro,your a legend
Nice bro! Glad you're pumped with the results! Everyone here at LB gets nervous when trimming too 😆 Now that the hard part is over, just maintaining it every few weeks should give you an incredible look!
@@livebearded already looks so much better,Big thanks again bro
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
going full walrus in quarantine as is my wont. never sure how much to trim vs how much to side sweep. but I def don't look as good as you XD
Thanks, Dad!
What tools do you recommend to use to trim the mustache once it gets long and thick? I use the Brio Beardscape for the beard but not sure how to incorporate the mustache once it gets long. Thanks.
What's up bro? Great question, and one that we have addressed in other videos you can find on our channel. The short answer, though, is you can still use your Brio, and get yourself a good pair of shears to keep the ends clean!
Live Bearded thank you,. Can you send me the links to these videos?
It's much easier for you to just search mustache or trimming within our channel. There are so many videos it would take a long time to compile them all and drop them in one chat 🤙🏻💪🏻
it seems you let the hair under the nose grow more downward and trim to the lip and let the more outside hair be the longer hair; am i getting that right?
Yes sir, absolutely! Then, you can pull those outer longer hairs in the desired direction while keeping the center hairs shorter and out of your mouth. It also gives the illusion that it's all one length!
love the beard of bearded videos l subscribe & turn the bell motification !
Thank you for your support, brother!
Do you have to trim the middle? Will it not grow out to the side if you leave it?
Trimming is really based on your face shape and how you want your beard to look. It is pretty personal all around!
Dude, could you make a video with tips on how to let your mustache grow as to have the handlebar one day? I'm letting it grow, i do not have a thick mustache, and it looks so weird, I don't know what to do to let it grow, but keeping a decent look. Any tips? Thanks
Hey brother, thanks for stopping in. Actually, Spencer has a whole series of grooming, and most are geared towards the handlebar. You can find these here in our channel or in our blog section of our website www.livebearded.com. There are tons of tips and tricks to help you in your journey brother. First step, however, is separating the mustache
from the beard, which Spencer shows in one of his tutorials!
Hopefully this helps point you in the right direction for mustache domination!!!
Really great advice! Im still struggling with my handlebar. I have grown it out for four months now and i cant get it to hold the shape. One day it sits perfectly, the next day its just not cooperating. My beardhair is very curly, took me some time to get the hang of it and keep a nice full and shaped beard. I got that part for over a year now, but the stache 😅 its my second time trying it now and i really dig the overall look with my full beard, but its so frustrating that it doesnt hold the shape day per day as yours. Any further advice? I really wanna keep it, so great to be one of the few brothers rocking a full beard and handlebar!
Keep at it and train , train, train!!!
@@livebearded What does "train" even mean? Some actual advice would be nice for us with curly facial hair, yours is straight so you dont have to do much.
I did the whole width of the nose thing and saw how asymmetrical my mustache was. Now I'm using wax instead of Pomade and my mustache has never looked better. This sounds like a paid ad when I read it back but it's not. I am having trouble with general symmetry and rogue hairs along the perimeter. Any help with that other than just plucking them?
Plucking or a straight edge razor for precision are the two good ways to take care of those!
@@livebearded Thank you.
