Viral video of man trying on moustache extensions sends internet into overdrive: 'Lip bangs'
You've heard of hair extensions and eyebrow extensions, but moustache extensions? Erm... In a viral video shared on Instagram earlier this week, a man lengthens his moustache using extensions and creates a fuller, darker hairy upper lip. The man is undeniably gorgeous, but the clip does leave you wondering why something like this is even necessary. Not surprisingly, the internet had a LOT of feelings about the video.
How does one even apply moustache extensions?
The video opens with a shot of the man holding up two different types of extensions packed inside two different boxes. He then proceeds to lift the hair right above his upper lip using a tiny tool. He outlines the area using a dark pencil and glues on the extensions one by one in what seems to be a long and arduous process. Once done, he trims the length of each extension lining the upper lip just enough so the lip barely shows.
He then moves to the lower lip. Brace yourselves. He lines the area right below the lower lip with tape, no wider than a piece of thread, for some contour. The idea is to create the illusion of a fuller lower lip. And boy does he achieve the look. The man in the video then proceeds to apply some lip tint before finally combing his moustache.
The video is stitched and shows content creator Adam Rucker in the frame taking a huge pause before asking, "Why?" His reaction somewhat sums up the whole experience. Like the world can go on just fine without moustache extensions, don't you think? I guess, vanity has no limit.
How did the internet react?
The clip was shared on August 23 and has so far raked in 1.2 million views, over 13,000 likes and comments to match. Here are some of the best ones:
