What Is a Chevron?

A Chevron is a thick, straight-across moustache that follows the natural lip line. It's fuller than a pencil 'stache and less styled than a handlebar. The result: strong definition with a clean, understated finish.

How to Grow It

Stop shaving the upper lip for 4–6 weeks. Keep cheeks and chin tidy so the moustache remains the focus. Brush daily to guide hairs downward and close gaps as it fills out.

Trimming & Shaping

Use a trimmer guard (3–5 mm) to even length. Comb down, then trim any hairs covering the top lip for a crisp eating line. Taper the edges subtly at the corners of the mouth to prevent bulkiness.

Styling Tips

For a natural look, apply a drop of beard oil and brush. If your hair is coarse, a touch of light balm tames flyaways without shine. Pair with a short, clean haircut for a balanced, modern profile.

Daily Care

Wash with a mild beard cleanser 2–3× per week; rinse with water on off days. Condition lightly to keep softness. Moisturise the skin beneath to avoid dryness and itch.

Mistakes to Avoid

• Trimming too high above the lip (loses the Chevron look)
• Letting it overhang the lip line excessively
• Neglecting the corners – bulk builds up fast
• Using heavy wax that makes it look stiff
• Skipping skin care under the hair

FAQ – Chevron Mustache

1. Which face shapes suit a Chevron?

Oval and square faces benefit most. On round faces, keep the length neat to avoid extra width.

2. How long until it looks complete?

Typically 4–6 weeks for solid coverage, longer if your growth is patchy.

3. Can I wear a Chevron with stubble or a beard?

Yes. Light stubble works well; with a beard, keep the moustache slightly fuller for contrast.

4. What products are essential?

A gentle beard wash, light beard oil, a soft brush/comb and a precise trimmer or scissors.

5. How do I stop it from irritating my lip?

Trim the lower edge regularly and use a small amount of balm to keep hairs in place.
