    There are different types of hair that grow from different people's faces, in fact the hair in my beard and mustache is remarkably different from the (remaining) hair on my head; the former being thicker and wiry, and wanting to stick out in multiple directions, while the latter is very straight and very fine. Different types of hairs require somewhat different approaches.

    Here's how I handle my unruly beard/mustache hairs.

    Basically, I let my beard dry really well after washing it before I attempt anything because wet hairs (mine at least) behave differently than when dry. First- when dry- I apply a conditioner to my beard. You will have to experiment to see what type works for you. I don't like oily ones, so I use Scott's Beard Conditioner (sold at some west coast USA games, and website here: https://www.scotsmangrooming.com/) which is similar to mustache wax, but more creamy- smells mildly like white chocolate. Then I comb it and any stray hairs that won't fall into formation get snipped.

    My mustache needs a little (lot of) control on the ends, so I use a product called Got2b Glued which is designed for those spiky punk hairdos, but actually works great. I tried all the waxes available, but none had the staying power I needed. G2bG comes out of a tube like a smooth toothpaste, goes on easily, I work it into the ends of the stasche then I comb it gently. Dries clear, water soluble to come right off my hands, but when dry holds well. Again, any stray hairs get snipped; I won't tolerate those little rebellious bastards not doing what I order them to!

    (G2BG is found easily at Walmart, Target, drugstores, etc.) I hope my product suggestions aren't considered advertising. There are many other products out there, and you need to experiment. I'm just letting you know what I do.

    Hope this gives you some ideas.
