Viking Mohawk Braid

With a mohawk, you are guaranteed to look bold and impactful, especially if you enhance it with a male Viking braid. Get the sides undercut for a more high contrast look or faded if you prefer a rather low key style. The type of braids for men can be just anything, which mainly depends on your personal preference.

Long Hair Viking Braids

Traditionally, Viking style braids are worn on long locks for good reason. When your hair is long, it allows you plenty of braiding options. As such, you can play around not only with braid types of long hairstyles for men but the way they are styled afterward. In case you find a long mane overly exhausting to maintain, you can remove the bulk from it with the help of a fade or undercut.

Viking Cornrows

For mens Viking braids, your imagination is the only limit. So, if you feel like taking it up a notch, go for any braid style you wish. Cornrow braids are an unusual solution for a warrior hairstyle. Yet, in addition to looking cool and stylish, they are also practical and versatile.
