Have you started growing your Movember moustache yet? That’s right! It’s that time of year in November when you begin notice that a lot more men seem to be sporting some extra hair above their mouths. Moustache styles 2016.

The reason why they are growing these moustaches is to show a sign of support and awareness for Men’s prostate cancer. They are doing it to raise money from sponsors for research to combat this disease, and despite its serious endeavour, they are also having a bit of fun in doing it.

The Movember movement began with a small group of men in Australia in 2003 and has spread throughout the world. It now has around 21 countries involved and continues to grow. Its purpose is to raise both awareness and funding to help prevent prostate and testicular cancer, and mental health issues.

Almost one out of every seven men is going to be affected by this insidious disease. It is a cancer that can be treated but has a good cure rate when uncovered early. More men need be made aware of the importance of getting a prostate exam and get it regularly.

Moustaches were extremely popular in both the 19th and early 20th centuries. Although some of the moustache styles may have gone out of vogue, they still can be seen throughout the world.

You probably know a few moustache style names, but you’ve also likely seen other styles that have names you never have heard about.
