2. DEFINITION OF A MOUSTACHE
A moustache (US /ˈ mʌstæʃ/ or UK
/məˈst ˈ American English: mustache)[1]
ɑ ʃ/;
is facial hair grown on the outer surface of
the upper lip. It may or may not be
accompanied by a type of beard, a facial hair
style grown and cropped to cover most of the

4. WHAT ABOUT THE LADIES...
In Western cultures women generally avoid
the growth of facial hair; though some are
capable.
In rare circumstances, women may choose
to embrace this growth, often in the form of
thin moustaches.
7. HOW DOES A MOUSTACHE GROW?
Facial hair in males normally appears in a
specific order during puberty:
The first facial hair to appear tends to grow at
the corners of the upper lip (age 11-15)
It then spreads to form a moustache over the
entire upper lip (age 16-17),
8. GROWING A MOUSTACHE CONTINUED...
This is followed by the appearance of hair on
the upper part of the cheeks, and the area
under the lower lip (age 16-18),
It eventually spreads to the sides and lower
border of the chin, and the rest of the lower
face to form a full beard (age 17-21).

By 1914 and the advent of WWI, the military
mustache was well-established. Generally,
the shape of the stache suggested rank.
17. OH THE POWER OF MOUSTACHES
“The mustache has a wonderfully powerful
effect upon a man's whole expression. The
idea of virility, spirit, and manliness that it
conveys is so great that it was a long time
the special privilege of officers of the army to
wear it.”
