November, the month when the leaves fall, the air cools, and the upper lips… get fuzzy. Yes, it’s Movember time! But before you grab the trimmer or panic about the incoming ‘stache stage, let’s talk about what Movember is really all about, and how you can keep your new facial fuzz looking fine while supporting a seriously good cause.
What is Movember All About?
Movember (a mash-up of “moustache” and “November”) began in 2003 when two friends in Australia decided to grow moustaches to spark conversations about men’s health. What started as a small challenge has now become a global movement, raising awareness (and funds) for causes like:
- Prostate cancer
- Testicular cancer
- Men’s mental health and suicide prevention
So, when you grow your moustache this month, you’re not just cultivating a work of art on your face - you’re helping raise awareness and funds for men’s health. That’s something to be proud of!
The Art of the ‘Stache: Tips to Keep Your Moustache (and Beard) in Top Form
Growing facial hair can be a little… itchy. Or patchy. Or downright wild. But with a bit of care (and the right products), you can go from scruffy to suave in no time. Here’s how:
1. Wash and Condition Regularly
Facial hair collects dust, oil, and food. Wash your beard or ‘stache a few times a week with a gentle cleanser to keep it fresh. Follow up with a natural conditioner or beard oil to soften those bristles.
Tip: Try our Rich Roots Hair & Scalp Oil. It’s formulated with Ayurvedic ingredients like amla (Indian gooseberry), bhringraj and rosemary oil to strengthen hair follicles, condition hard-to-manage hair, and nourish both hair and skin. Even though it’s marketed as a hair & scalp oil, many of the benefits translate well into facial hair grooming, especially the nourishment-and-condition side.
2. Keep It Trimmed and Shaped
Even if you’re growing your moustache for Movember, it doesn’t have to look like a wild experiment. Use a small pair of scissors or a trimmer to keep the edges neat and tidy. Define your shape early - handlebar, chevron, classic, and embrace your new look with confidence.
3. Moisturise the Skin Beneath
It’s easy to forget, but the skin under your facial hair needs love too. Dryness can lead to itching and dandruff (a.k.a. beardruff). Gently massage a few drops of our Rich Roots Oil into your beard or ‘stache area - it’ll help nourish the skin underneath and keep your follicles healthy by leveraging the same plant-based oils used for the scalp.
4. Eat (and Drink) Like Your Hair Depends On It
Facial hair thrives on a good diet! Foods rich in vitamins A, C, E, and Biotin can promote stronger, healthier hair growth. And don’t forget to drink plenty of water as hydration is the secret to glossy, happy hair.
5. Own Your Look
Whether your moustache comes in thick and proud or shy and wispy, wear it with confidence. Remember, Movember isn’t about perfection; it’s about participation and purpose. Every conversation sparked by your new look helps raise awareness for men’s health issues.
Ready, set, grow!
Let’s make this Movember about more than moustaches - let’s make it about self-care, awareness, and a little bit of fun.
