Hipster is the name that has been given, to what has been the most popular trend among the male population; as far as fashion and appearance are concerned. In fact, more than a fad, it is considered a sub-culture with very well-defined characteristics.
This trend was born in the United States between the decades of the 40s and 50s, representing the irreverent individual, who wants to detach himself from the usual tendencies and give a look at the fusion between the urban and the countryside.
Heeding this call, men who previously sported thick beards and crowded whiskers on their faces now shave and mold them. These so-called “new hipster“; they have become guardians of what was already given as disappeared, carrying as an icon this trend on their faces; to be able to wear it on any occasion.
One of the proposals derived from this subculture is the radical change to the appearance of the male face.
The quiet or perhaps innocent appearance represented by an imberbe face has been left behind, replacing it now with a more aggressive and determined appearance, with abundant facial hair in some cases; it is carried under different styles.
As far as the use of the mustache is concerned, it has been wanted in this new proposal to incorporate the hipster vision to the traditional styles; achieving a real revolution in terms of appearance and manly presence.
In this order of ideas, we will show you below the hipster styles of whiskers that have caused the greatest impact on the trend:
Hollywood-style hipster mustache
It is a proposal where you can see a very well-kept mustache, profiled and delineated to perfection, thanks to the meticulous use of the knife, which allows modeling a very thin line of hair; in the space between the upper lip and nose.
This style of mustache is one of the most difficult to get and maintain.
His inspiration came from the way Clark Gable looked with this facial adornment and other gallants from the golden age of Hollywood cinema. Today, this style is followed by contemporary actors Brad Pitt and Adrien Brody.
Kaiser-style hipster mustache
It will be difficult to observe a style of mustache that is both powerful and striking, as opposed to what was observed in the previous style.
It resembles a bit of the traditional mustache, but with much more body, which needs to be modeled from the center line; to be able to attend later both sides in all its length.
Once we obtain both the thickness and the desired length, we proceed to wax the tips and mold them upwards.
Usually, those who adopt this style, usually accompany it with a beard very much in the style of Francois Verkerk, red-haired model, who looks it perfectly.
Russian-style hipster mustache
Nowadays there are few people who dare to wear this type of mustache because it turns out to be, for some tastes, excessively abundant and leafy.
For this reason, it is very difficult for anyone to dare to take the plunge. Whoever adopts it should get used to keeping the mouth covered with hair in its entirety.
This style of moustache, with the hipster modification, was inspired by the moustache worn by the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who in his time popularized it.
This mustache needs a long time to grow and reach the desired length, dearly being tamed on both sides.
Additionally, its maintenance and care requires a lot of time and must be combed quite often; so that it takes the form that characterizes it.
Hipster mustache to the natural
After the three-day beard, the natural mustache style is the second choice in those who have made the decision to let the beard grow.
Its name comes from the fact that the mustache during its growth, tends to adapt to the “natural” contour of the face.
Additionally, it has the peculiarity of not needing any special technique to achieve its final shape and appearance since, as its name indicates, its objective is to reflect a natural air of traditional appearance that is always in force.
