What is a Chevron Mustache?

Once only seen on pop stars, TV detectives and pro football coaches, the Chevron Mustache is back. Shaped like a chevron, and covering your whole top lip, this style makes a bold statement. See below how to achieve yours.

How to Do the Chevron Mustache Step-by-Step

1. Start with a Clean Face

Wash and dry your face before you trim. Then use a styling comb to brush your facial hair in the direction of hair growth. 

2. Trim Your Facial Hair

With your Wahl trimmer or Wahl shaver, closely trim or shave your cheeks and chin clean, but leave the mustache untouched.

3. Define the Shape

Using your Wahl trimmer or shaver, shave a strong, diagonal line from your nose to a point about a 1/4-inch beyond the corner of your mouth. Check both sides to ensure it is symmetrical. 

4. Clean Up for Crisp, Defined Lines

Once you see a Chevron-like design at the outer edges, trim any long stray hairs along your upper lip so the mustache is flush with the lip. 

5. Grow Out for a Bolder Style

Allow your mustache to grow for a few weeks to achieve proper fullness.

6. Groom After You Trim

Trim occasionally with your trimmer to avoid overgrowth and to keep the look fresh. Use a comb to brush it out to keep it looking neat.
