How to Do a Soul Stache Mustache

You don’t have to do much soul searching to find the most soulful look around. A cross between a mustache and Soul Patch, this style says a lot about you.

How to Do the Soul Stache Mustache Step-by-Step

  • 1

    With your Wahl shaver, closely shave everything but the mustache and Soul Patch area.

  • 2

    Let the mustache area grow for at least 1 week, or until you have a good amount of hair growth. The look requires medium-length whiskers.

  • 3

    Allow the mustache to grow to the corners of the mouth. With your Wahl trimmer, make sure to create a nicely arched strip of hair that spans from one corner of the mouth to the other.

  • 4

    Finally, you’ll want to shape the Soul Patch. Trim a square shape of hair that starts right below your lower lip.
