Maybe your future haircut is hidden in our top 10 of the most beautiful Viking hairstyles for men.
The Vikings lived a little over a thousand years ago! And yet, they are still a key source of inspiration when it comes to hairstyles. This is even more true since the release of the Vikings series in 2013. There is something for everyone: wild braids, the obvious ponytail, the twisted half-tail…
1: The braid plastered on the side
For a low-key Vinking look, try the side braid. This is one of the most beautiful Viking hairstyles for men. It makes you look like a warrior while still letting a touch of delicacy shine through.
To do this, here are the steps to follow:
- Draw a horizontal line from the temple to a third of the skull;
- Isolate the rest of your hair using elastic bands (keep only the hair needed for the flat braid);
- Separate your hair into three strands;
- Braid your hair, incorporating more hair as you go, until the braid is completely done.
You can also call on a hairdresser to come and create these Viking hairstyles at your home in the next few hours.
2: Long hair and long beard
Whether you are blond, brown, or red, the long hair and long beard combo is a sure bet that will transport everyone around you to the Viking era. As in this photo, you can embellish your hairstyle with small braids to create relief. You can also add Viking accessories like antique beads at the bottom of the braids, for example.
3: Shaved head, long beard
You don’t need a long mane to adopt one of the most beautiful Viking hairstyles for men! To get a Viking hairstyle full of personality, shave your head and let your beard grow (as long as possible). Like Ragnar Lothbrok in the Vikings series, you will gain charisma and self-confidence.
After all, it’s not just long-haired men who are allowed to transform into authentic Vikings!⚔️
4: The Mohawk warrior hairstyle
Vikings and punks may have more in common than you think. In addition to their legendary rock ‘n’ roll attitude, they share a passion for one hairstyle: the Mohawk. To achieve this Viking hairstyle, you’ll need to shave your hair on the sides so that the hair on top of your head is noticeably longer. From there, you can style it back.
5: Half-bun
Still far from achieving the long hair you dream of? Don’t worry! You can still adopt one of the most beautiful Viking hairstyles for men: the half-bun. In addition to being pretty, this haircut is super quick to style.
6: Vikings dreadlocks
If you’re looking for a unique style that’s unique to the Viking era, there’s nothing better than dreadlocks. For the record, this hairstyle was worn by Egyptians, Vikings, and Celts (and not by peasants, but by high-ranking members of royalty ). But be careful: to wear dreadlocks, you also have to know how to take care of them.
7: Ponytail: The Simplest Viking Hairstyle for Men
For a wild and avant-garde style, dare to wear a long ponytail in the back. With this Viking haircut, you won’t need to do much in your morning routine, except style your hair to remove knots.
8: Undercut Viking
Are you looking for a popular haircut that is Viking but not too Viking? The Undercut is for you! This haircut is one of the most common among Vikings.
Here are the steps to ask for during your home hairdressing service to adopt it:
- Shave the hair on the sides;
- Click the top hair back;
- Add a setting gel.
You can also combine the undercut with a small bun or a ponytail!
9: Small braid on top of the head
It is possible to combine softness and a warrior look in our time. Just show this photo to your hairdresser and ask him or her to reproduce the same hairstyle. But be careful: your hair on the sides will be shaved.
10. Beard + long hair + braids + bun
Let’s finish with one of the most authentic Viking hairstyles for men. Here you have it all: long hair, braids on both sides, half-bun, and Viking accessories (spacers, piercings). All that’s missing is detailed tattoos on the head to confuse a real Viking with this modern-day man.
