Grow & style a handlebar moustache
The handlebar mustache is a classic style recognizable by its upward-curled tips resembling, what else, bicycle handlebars. If you want to grow an "awesome" handlebar mustache, you probably want your mustache to be thick and bushy with long, accentuated tips. Growing a successful mustache of this style can take months and requires regular maintenance and commitment.
It’s really not that hard!
If you think Handlebar Moustaches are limited to T.V. war heroes think again! There is no one Handlebar Moustache, but a collection of different creative designs. For some, these mustaches can become months of grooming, or lifetime achievement. Overall, they are incredible and unique.
Even though a brush can help you style and shape your Handlebar Moustache, it isn’t without some product. Depending on the length of your beard and the rate of growth and overall design, you can tweak the amount to suit. For a more refined look, use more beard wax in the tips and twist for longer. For a more casual look, apply to the entire mustache and brush it into place. It's pretty cool playing with different styles and shapes!

Step 4: Twist and Shape
The next step, after you have applied your beard wax, is to twist the end of the mustache into shape. This should be easy once you have it brushed and prepared with the product, and will start to move into this shape more often as it grows.

5: Maintain It!
Once you have grown your Handlebar Moustache, you will be rewarded with the impossible, a beard, which is almost self-regulating. While you will want to keep up the brushing and beard wax, this style is consistent for use once you are out of the growing phase.
