If you're wondering why there seems to be a ridiculous amount of moustachioed men out and about this month, it might have something to do with the [prostate cancer awareness charity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pick-up-your-poop) Movember, as 'The Hairy Truth About the Moustache' explains. Created by Sortable, the illustrated chart digs deep into the history of the moustache-sporting foundation, which began in 2003 by a group of Australians.

Beyond Movember, 'The Hairy Truth About the Moustache' also provides interesting tidbits of info about the facial hair itself, along with my favorite feature of the infographic -- a "Mo Guide," which shows illustrations of [various moustache styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-of-the-mustaches) over the years.

Whether you're sporting a Fu Manchu, the Dali, a classic "chevron" style, or a set of [moustache manicured nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fur-kits), 'The Hairy Truth About the Moustache' is a must-see for Movember and facial hair enthusiasts!
