The Mustache Growth Stages and Weekly Routine

Let’s jump right into the mustache growth stages and weekly routines. I laid out the 4 stages of mustache growth cycles for you earlier. Here are the mustache growth stage routines for teenagers:

Stage 1: The Barely-There ‘Stache (Weeks 1-2)

This is the stage when your mustache is just starting to make an appearance – like a shy little caterpillar peeking out to say hello. You might notice a few hairs sprouting above your upper lip.

Routine:

• Keep your skin clean and moisturized.
• Apply a few drops of beard oil daily.
• Be patient and resist the urge to shave or trim.

Stage 2: The Awkward Phase (Weeks 3-5)

At this stage, your mustache is starting to fill in, but it might look a little patchy or uneven. Don’t stress! This is all part of the process.

Routine:

• Keep following your skincare and beard oil routine from Stage 1.
• Start massaging your upper lip daily to stimulate hair growth.
• Stay patient and let that ‘stache grow!

Stage 3: The Fledgling ‘Stache (Weeks 6-7)

Now we are talking! Your mustache is starting to look more legit, with more coverage and a defined shape. You’re well on your way to mustache greatness.

Routine:

• Keep up with your skincare, beard oil, and massage routine.
• Start to gently trim your mustache to keep it looking neat and tidy.
• Consider using a mustache wax or balm to style your ‘stache and tame any unruly hairs.

Stage 4: The Full-Fledged ‘Stache (Week 8 and beyond)

You have made it, my mustache-growing prodigy! Your ‘stache is now full, thick, and ready to be shown off to the world. Rock it with pride, my friend.

Routine:

• Maintain your skincare, beard oil, and massage routine.
• Trim your mustache regularly to keep it looking fresh and clean.
• Experiment with different mustache styles and find the one that suits you best.

How to Grow a Mustache Faster as a Teenager

When I was a teen, I wanted a mustache so bad that I’d draw one on my face with a Sharpie. No joke. But after following these steps, I went from wannabe to mustache master. And guess what? You can do it, too.

Step 1: The Patience Game

I know you are impatient, but the first thing ya gotta learn is that growing a mustache takes time. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a rockin’ stache. So chillax, give it time, and let nature do its thang.

Step 2: Get proper Nutrition

If you want that caterpillar on your upper lip to grow faster, you gotta give it the fuel it needs. Make sure you are diets are rich in vitamins and minerals, like biotin, zinc, and vitamin B.

You know, all that good stuff that makes your hair and nails grow like crazy. Chow down on some avocados, nuts, and fish – and don’t forget the veggies!

Step 3: Exercise

This might sound like a total bummer, but exercise is key to getting a thicker ‘stache. Working up a sweat boosts your testosterone levels, and that’s like the magic sauce for facial hair growth.

Plus, it’s good for your overall health, so it’s a win-win sitch. Now get off that couch and hit the gym or go for a run!

Step 4: Skincare for the Win

You wouldn’t build a house on a shaky foundation, right? Same goes for your mustache. Treat your skin like the precious canvas it is by keeping it clean and moisturized.

Exfoliate to get rid of dead skin cells and use a gentle face wash that won’t dry you out. And hey, slap on some sunscreen, too. Your future mustache will thank you.

Step 5: Be One with the Beard Oil

If you’re serious about your ‘stache game, then you need to invest in some beard oil, my friend. It’s like a magical elixir that’ll keep your facial hair soft, shiny, and healthy.

It will keep your skin moisturized, which is crucial for hair growth. Rub a few drops into your fuzz every day, and watch that mustache flourish.

Step 6: Trim, but Don’t Overdo It

It’s alright to trim your mustache every now and then but don’t go overboard. You don’t wanna end up with a bald spot or an uneven mess. Just give it a little snip-snip to keep it lookin’ fresh and clean.

Step 7: Get Enough Sleep

Catching enough shuteye is essential for that ‘stache growth. When you snooze, your body repairs and regenerates, and that includes your facial hair.

So make sure you’re snagging a solid 7-9 hours of sleep every night, bro. Your body – and your mustache – will thank you.

Step 8: The Power of Massage

No, I ain’t talkin’ about a spa day (though that sounds dope, too). Massaging your upper lip can actually help stimulate hair growth by increasing blood flow to the area.

Spend a few minutes every day gently rubbing your upper lip in circular motions. It’s like giving your ‘stache a lil’ pep talk to grow faster!

Step 9: Say No to Stress

Stress is a major vibe-killer, and it can mess with your hair growth, too. So do yourself (and your mustache) a favor by finding ways to chill out. Whether it’s meditating, jamming on your guitar, or shooting some hoops – find what works for you and give stress the boot.

Step 10: Embrace Your Unique ‘Stache Journey

Last, but not least, remember that everyone’s facial hair journey is different. Some of you will sprout a glorious ‘stache in a matter of weeks, while others might take a few months or even years. And that’s cool, man.

Embrace your own unique journey, and rock that mustache with pride, whenever it decides to make an appearance. Just remember, patience is key – and that with a great mustache comes great responsibility.

FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about growing a mustache as a teenager:

1. At what age does facial hair start growing?

It is mainly influenced by genetics and hormones. Teenagers might start seeing facial hair growth as early as 12 or 13. But some might not notice any growth until their late teens or even early 20s.

2. Will shaving make my mustache grow faster?

Shaving does not make your mustache grow faster or thicker. Shaving simply removes the hair at the surface of the skin. It has no impact on the rate of growth or the thickness of the hair.

3. At what age can you grow a full mustache?

Before the age of 20, your body might not produce enough hormones for a full mustache and after the age of 30, the testosterone might decrease in your body. So, the best age to observe your full mustache growth potential is your mid-to-late 20s. 

4. Can I grow a mustache if I’m under 12 years old?

It is quite rare for children under 12 to grow a mustache. Facial hair growth is typically triggered by the hormonal changes that occur during puberty. But there are rare cases of early-onset puberty and growing facial hair at a younger age. 

So there you have it, folks. Now, go forth and conquer, my mustache-growing prodigies. Always remember, with a great mustache comes great responsibility. Good luck and happy mustache growing!
