Think twice if: Oblong Face

Drag the slider: clean shaven to styled

The horseshoe pairs a thick moustache with vertical pillars grown down along the mouth's sides to the jawline, forming an upside-down U. Hulk Hogan wrestled it into pop culture, and bikers adopted it as uniform long before that. The bars are grown, not shaved-on: they are real moustache hair trained downward over weeks. Frequently confused with the Fu Manchu, which hangs loose past the chin; the horseshoe's bars stay anchored to the face.

Who does it suit?

The vertical bars visually narrow round and square faces. Long faces should avoid adding two more vertical lines.

How to maintain it

Shave the chin and cheeks around the bars every other day and trim the whole shape weekly. Train the bars down with a comb.
