TOP TIPS FOR MO GROWERS
Get prepped! Start from a good place: Give your face a clean start. Come to the Clean Shave Off at The Avalon in Clapham to get your skin perfectly prepped.
Tend your MO: Visit the Anthony Laban Barbershop in Battersea for FREE trims and maintenance in a man-friendly environment. If you prefer to DIY when it comes to face furniture, don’t be in too much of a hurry to get a shape but when you start and always trim your MO dry .
Ease the itch: Use a little hair conditioner to stop the scratch and people thinking you’ve got scabies.
Moisturise your MO: Don’t skimp on the moisturizer. Your MO may give you some protection from the wind and rain, but your skin underneath still needs moisturising.
Stiff upper lip: You don’t have to sculpt your MO, but a little ‘tache wax will add weight and definition to your MO.
Be patient: You’re never sure what your MO will look like until it’s fully formed. Experiment with the shape – until you find a shape that suits you.
Enjoy and share your MO:Take it Out. Eat with it. Drink with it. Take it to the pub. Let people appreciate your new facial hair.
