Quick Tips

How to apply moustache wax

1. Scrape a small amount

Using your thumb, scrape a small amount of wax with the back of your nail. Less is more.

2. Warm up the moustache wax

Warm the wax between your pointer finger and thumb until all clumps are smoothed out and melted.

3. Apply to your moustache

Apply the product to the moustache using your pointer finger and thumb in a pulling-away motion–almost like pinching the hairs between your fingers. Start from the middle and pull and pinch your way outwards.

4. Repeat as necessary

Repeat the same pulling motion a couple of times until you feel the wax is evenly distributed as much as possible. Style the hairs how you would like, and finish off with a moustache comb to even out any product and stray hairs.

Moustache Wax FAQs

What are the benefits of moustache wax?

Moustache waxes have plenty of benefits including (but not limited to):

• Keeps the moustache looking healthy and neatly kept
• The thicker texture keeps unruly moustache hair in the same direction
• Reduces dandruff and itchiness by moisturising the skin underneath the beard hair
• Most of all, moustache waxes have a subtle scent to make your grooming routine enjoyable

When should I apply moustache wax?

The best time to apply moustache wax is after a shower. This is when your beard is completely clean and the hairs are softest, making it easier to apply the wax and style to your liking. You can also apply them whenever you feel like styling your moustache a certain way.

Is moustache wax necessary?

Yes. Like a beard, moustaches can become very unruly without proper maintenance and care. Moustache wax is like a 2-in-1 product–not only can it be used to to achieve a certain look, but many on the market contain nourishing oils that moisturise to prevent itchiness and dandruff. 

So what is the best moustache wax for me?

There isn’t a “best” moustache wax per se. It just comes down to personal preference and what kind of scent you like. Nonetheless, here are some of our recommendations and customer favourites:
