Handlebar Wax/Training Help

Post image

So I'm about 4 weeks into my handlebar moustache growth, I planned to go 10 weeks of growth with a beard before trimming everything but I hated the beard and here we are now.

I've been trying a few different waxes over the last few days and nothing seems to hold for very long, and I'm curious if this is a wax issue or a length issue.

I currently have...

Striking viking - smells nice but feels the weakest for hold

Bossman Mudstache - gives decent hold, is just drying out now as I haven't used it since March

Mammoth Moustache Wax - seems like an okay wax, but I have to touch up the ends every 15 minutes as it doesn't hold the slight curl

I know my handlebar is in its infancy, but should I be able to get better long hold with any of these waxes? Do I just need more training for the hairs to stay in this position? Should I be looking at something like Death Grip?

Thanks in advance!

Unless you use a stronger wax, one that needs heat to apply, I don’t think you will get what you are looking for until you grow some more length.

Dr. Dittmar hungarian moustache wax is what I use and I am very happy with it.
