For years, a well-groomed moustache has been synonymous with confidence and style. In recent years, the world of men’s grooming has seen a major resurgence in facial hair trends, especially when it comes to the moustache, making a quality moustache wax an essential item in any modern gentleman’s grooming arsenal. At Apothecary 87, we’ve dedicated ourselves to crafting the best moustache wax for achieving a sharp, refined look every day.
Why Moustache Wax Matters
The right wax does more than just hold stray hairs in place, it nurtures healthy facial hair growth and protects against dryness or split ends. A premium formula like Apothecary 87 Moustache Wax is designed to:
-
Provide a Strong Hold: Tame unruly hairs with a reliable yet flexible hold.
-
Nourish & Condition: Infused with conditioning ingredients that keep your facial hair soft and healthy.
-
Enhance Style: Perfect for shaping a handlebar moustache, adding subtle twists, or simply adding definition to a classic style.
According to a Men’s Health guide on facial hair grooming, consistent waxing and routine care can also help “train” your moustache hairs to grow in the direction you want, crucial when aiming for timeless looks like the handlebar or pencil moustache.
How to Use Apothecary 87 Moustache Wax
-
Clean & Dry
Start with freshly washed and completely dry facial hair. Excess water or beard oil may lessen the wax’s effectiveness. -
Warm It Up
Scoop out a pea-sized amount (adjust based on the thickness of your moustache). Rub it between your fingertips until it softens. -
Apply Evenly
Work the wax into your moustache from the centre outward. Use a fine-tooth moustache comb (included in many moustache wax kits, like our wax+comb bundle) to ensure even distribution. -
Shape & Style
For a natural look, gently smooth your hairs. For a bolder style, like a twisted moustache, pinch and twist the tips between your fingers until you achieve your desired shape. -
Let It Set
Moustache wax often sets in under a minute. Reapply small amounts if you need extra hold throughout the day.
