What is a Vikings Hairstyle?

Before we begin with the amazing Viking Hairstyles, maybe we should first tell you a bit more about the look itself, don’t you think? This styling is mostly associated with long hair and beard, or short hair and a long beard. They often have dreadlocks, braided hair and a crew cut. There are even different beard styles that go along with the Viking style. An example of a more modern Viking Style is Thomas Shelby’s haircut which is completely cut and shaved on the side with a lot of hair at the top. All in all, there are so many variations of the Viking Hairstyles, so if you want to see our top picks, keep on reading!

1. Crew Cut Viking Haircut with a Beard

This Crew Cut Viking Hairstyle is something for those people who are not afraid to go all out. The long beard is the perfect example of a Vikings beard – it is long and messy, while the hairstyle is a buzz cut with a knot. All of that does make this Viking Hairstyle a bit more drastic, but it might be the perfect fit for you if you want to spice up your styling! This one should definitely have the trademark copyright 2019since it is a mixture of traditional Viking hairstyles and modern looks.

2. A More Simple Viking Hairstyle

Viking Hairstyles do not have to be all that messy and extreme. As a matter of fact, there are plenty of styles of a Viking haircut which can give you a more modern appearance. With an undercut or bald sides and with a medium hairstyle on the top this is one of the more simple, yet cool Viking haircuts. If you also do not like long beards, then you can do it short and neat just like this one. If you do end up wanting to spice it up, you can always change your hair color or even grow out your beard!

3. A Single Braid Viking Hairstyle

History shows us that one of the trends for Vikings has always been braids. It can be a single braid or more complicated braids. You can do them on the head, even on the beard, the choice is yours! This type of style is for those men who do want a braid but also do not want to make it complicated. Adding elements in your buzz cut can help you achieve the more cool look, while the braid and the beard are what make it one of the easier Viking hairstyles.

4. Cool Viking Ponytail Hairstyles

These types of Viking Hairstyles are great if you like this trend, but also need to have a more styled hair from time to time. The undercuts on the side with a small ponytail on the top can easily be styled into a more classy look for those traditional work or family meetings. Also, the ponytail can be turned into a man bun within seconds. The long beard in the front can also be easily shortened, but if you decide to keep it long, you are definitely going to rock that Viking look!

5. Viking Braids Hairstyles

This blonde long hair with several braids is something you and women around you will love. Not only does it give you the hot warrior look, but it is also one of the original Viking Hairstyles. It might take you some time to grow out your hair and this definitely is not an easy styling to pull off, but it will definitely be worth it in the end. One amazing thing about these hairstyles is that you can wear them however you want. Long hair and short beard, long hair and long beard, or any combination you like! In the end, it might even give you some Thor vibes, and who does not want to look like the god of thunder?

6. Rugged Hairstyle with Long Beard

The perfect hairstyle for those who do not want to spend a lot of time doing their hair in the morning, but still want to create that Viking Hair. Rugged hair is basically your natural hair styled back. What makes this a Viking hairstyle is that long loose beard. This is one of your easily maintained Viking hairstyles which is going to be the source of your daily compliments!

7. The Ragnar Viking Hairstyles

This Viking Hairstyle became a hit because of a character in the show Vikings. The character Ragnar Lothbrok is the real reason behind the ideas for these hairstyles, it is even named after the character! This hairstyle is characterized by a braided top knot or a ponytail with a medium-sized beard. There are more variations of it such as ones with a shaved head or locks, but in general, it is the one with either the braids or the ponytail. These Viking hairstyles are super easy to wear and we are sure everyone is going to check you out!

8. The Viking Mohawk Hairstyle

With a shaved head on the sides and a noticeably longer hair in the middle – you are going to achieve the Viking Mohawk Hairstyle. These types of hairstyles are usually associated with the Vikings, but if you add the messy beard, then there is no doubt that we are talking about a Viking Hairstyle! This hairstyle is not that hard to maintain and it can even have different types of hairstyles in the middle. The Viking mohawk is definitely going to be a hit for those who like to spice things up from time to time.

9. The Braided Beard Hairstyles

Maybe you are a fan of the Viking Hairstyles but are not just ready to grow out your hair. No worries, a shaved head with a beard braid is also one of the more popular Viking Hairstyles! This hairstyle is the way to go for those people who are not fond of taking care of their hair but love taking care of their beard. On the days when you do feel like doing a Viking look, just braid your long beard. On the other days, just leave your beard in its natural form. This might even be one of the easier Viking Hairstyles you can do!

10. Taper Fade Viking Hairstyles

The taper fade haircut can be worn as a regular haircut, or if you add a few touches, it can become a Viking haircut. This hairstyle is popular for its long faded sides and neatly styled hair in the center. People usually wear it without the beard, but if you decide to add one then it will go from an ordinary taper fade to a Vikings Taper Fade. You can even dye your hair and beard orange for a more drastic look. These types of hairstyles are great for business people since they do look very sharp!

11. The Viking Dreadlocks

Even though most people do not associate dreadlocks with the Vikings, they did wear dreadlocks at their time. The Viking Hairstyles with dreadlocks are surely different than ordinary dread-locks. They are usually braided dreadlocks with a buzz cut or a fully shaved head on the sides. If you want to be carefree about your hairstyle for the next couple of months, but still want something cool and unique, then these Viking Dreadlocks just might be the perfect fit for you!

12. A Modern Viking Hairstyle

A Viking Hairstyle can still be masculine and modern. Long hair and beard are not always the source of an epic Viking style. This modern Viking Hairstyle still offers the edgy look you might be looking for while keeping things a bit on the low side. With a cut on the side and a single braid in the middle, you achieve the familiar Viking Hairstyle. But when you add the longer natural hair which can hide the braid if needed you just get the perfect combination of modern and Viking!

13. The Long Viking Hairstyles

All hairstyles so far have had some special touch to them, but since the Vikings raided Europe for several hundreds of years, they also had some very normal hairstyles. If you have wavy hair and do want to achieve that Viking look, then this long hairstyle is your match. A simple curly haircut with a beard – it truly does not get any easier than this. We would recommend this if you do not have time to do braids or do not want to do anything to your natural hair. Sometimes less is more!

On that note

Vikings can be looked at as the symbols for fearlessness, strength, and masculinity. A Viking haircut is not only super cool and unique, but it can have a historic meaning to it. We hope you liked our top 13 picks for Viking Hairstyles and perhaps will be trying some of them in the future!
