Product Information
Full details
The Tales of Old England Investigator Tash is designed for costume enthusiasts and theatrical performers looking to enhance their historical or 1920s-themed outfits with an authentic, bushy facial hair accessory. Its primary benefit is the hassle-free, self-adhesive backing that allows for quick application without the need for messy spirit gum; however, users should be aware that the adhesive is intended for single-use application and may require a fresh skin-safe adhesive if the original backing loses its grip during extended wear.

FAQs
Is the adhesive safe for skin?
The adhesive is generally safe for most users, but those with sensitive skin should perform a patch test first.
Can I trim the moustache?
Yes, you can carefully trim the synthetic nylon fibers with small scissors if you need a specific shape for your character.
Is this product reusable?
The initial adhesive is designed for one-time use, but the moustache can be reused if you apply fresh skin-safe adhesive to the backing.
Does it come in different colors?
This specific model, 11925, is available in the Black colour variant.
Will this fit a child?
Yes, it is designed with a flexible base suitable for children and adults alike.
Can I wash the moustache?
Do not submerge the moustache in water, as this will damage the adhesive backing and potentially alter the shape of the fibers.
Troubleshooting
Moustache is not sticking properly
Clean the skin thoroughly with soap and water to remove oils, dry completely, and press firmly for 30 seconds.
Adhesive backing has lost its stickiness
Apply a small dot of professional skin-safe spirit gum or eyelash adhesive to the back of the moustache.
Fibers look slightly flattened after storage
Gently shake or brush the synthetic fibres with your fingers to restore the bushy volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application is straightforward: carefully peel the protective backing from the strip and press firmly onto the clean, dry skin of the upper lip. The moustache is designed as a one-size-fits-most accessory for children and adults. After removal, avoid getting the adhesive area wet. If you intend to reuse the item, gently clean any residual adhesive from the back with a mild, skin-safe solvent, and keep the fibres free of hairspray or gels to maintain the accessory's integrity for your next event.
