Trimming a Dallas mustache involves training the hairs, setting the length, and precisely shaping the ends for a well-groomed look.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
Steps for Trimming a Dallas Mustache
-
Train Your Whiskers: Brush your mustache hairs downwards over your upper lip regularly. This helps them grow in the desired direction and makes trimming easier.
-
Set the Length: Utilize a full-size trimmer equipped with a zoom wheel. This feature allows you to precisely set and lock your desired mustache length. Start with a longer setting and gradually decrease it to avoid accidentally trimming too much.
-
Trim the Bulk: Using the trimmer, carefully trim the bulk of the mustache to the set length. Work in small sections and comb through the hairs frequently to ensure an even trim.
-
Shape the Ends: Employ a precision trimmer to shape the ends of your mustache. The goal is to create a rounded edge extending approximately 0.5 cm (about 1/4 inch) beyond the corners of your mouth. This prevents the mustache from interfering with eating and speaking.
-
Refine and Maintain: After trimming, comb your mustache and check for any stray hairs or unevenness. Use scissors or a precision trimmer for fine-tuning. Regularly maintain your mustache by trimming it every few days or as needed to keep it in shape.
