Are you a natural redhead? This hairstyle’s low maintenance does red hair justice worn loose with a long beard. Keep your mustache short and trim to avoid looking too caveman!

7. Fishtail Braid Man Bun

We’re getting all sorts of Brad Pitt in Troy vibes from this fishtail braided man bun! The typical messy Viking look instantly becomes filled with detail with the addition of braids. If you’re feeling bold, consider a taper fade on one side. 

Ideal for: rectangle or “boxy” face shapes

8. Faded Ponytail with Dread Extensions

The buzzed fade surrounding this men’s ponytail will give nice definition to your face, but the real Viking detail is in the ponytail. Long bright extensions as dreads or twists mix with braids to create a fuller look.

Ideal for: square face shape

9. Fishtail Braid Half Updo

A Viking half updo is very hot with a fishtail braid down the center of your head. Make two thin braids at the side and gather them all in the back at mid-height.

Ideal for: any face shape

10. Short and Combed Back

You don’t have to have long hair to rock a Viking hairstyle. This short haircut is finger combed back away from the face. It looks slightly rugged with a full beard. The height up top is great for accentuating strong cheek bones.

Ideal for: rectangle face shape

11. Long Hair with Braids

Braids are among the most common details in Viking hairstyles. To create this braids style, sweep the hair towards one side and part the hair on the opposite side in three horizontal sections.

Braid each section into a French man braid and secure it with an elastic band. Decorate the braids with some hair rings. You can repeat the process on the other side as well or leave the braids only on one side. Wear the rest of the hair messy.
