Handlebar moustache
A moustache with long ends curled or turned upwards, like the handlebars of a bicycle.
Also: handlebar
A handlebar moustache is grown long enough for the ends to be twisted and turned up, held with wax. It was common among European and American officers in the late nineteenth century, and the Handlebar Club for wearers was founded in London in 1947. In Rajasthan, long curled moustaches are a mark of pride, and the Pushkar Fair holds a moustache competition each year. Daily care includes combing and waxing the tips.
