mustachio

Fancy facial hair

A mustachio is a mustache, especially one that is large, elaborate, or flamboyantly styled.

The word carries a theatrical or old-fashioned flavor, evoking waxed tips and dramatic curls: He twirled his mustachios like a silent-film villain.

The plural mustachios is more common than the singular.
