handlebar mustaches
Curled lip hair
Handlebar mustaches are mustaches with long ends that curve upward, resembling the handlebars of a bicycle.
The style requires wax to maintain its shape and evokes the late 19th century, when it was fashionable.
Today it signals either ironic hipster affectation or old-timey theatrical villainy: He twirled his handlebar mustache.
