Viking hairstyles are often characterised by long, thick hair on the top and back of the head and shaved sides. The result is an eye-catching and attitude-filled look that\u2019s perfect for tough gents. To rock the style, all you need to do is apply some modern updates. A temple shave can be an excellent way to achieve the same edgy appearance as an authentic Viking hairstyle while maintaining a modern appeal.<\/p>\n

2. Shaved Head and Beard<\/span><\/h2>\nNot all Viking hairstyles require a long mane that can be brushed, braided or wrapped into a bun. For a look that boasts the same sense of personality without the follicle requirement, you should consider a shaved head. After all, it\u2019s not just disconnected undercuts<\/a> that look stylish and edgy with a flash of the scalp. To rock the look, just remember to add a beard, and don\u2019t be afraid to let it grow. While short stubble may look good on many modern gents, an authentic Viking appearance demands facial fuzz that\u2019s bigger and bushier.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"Milan](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Milan-Mens-Street-Style-Spring-Summer-2017-74.jpg\")

3. Braided Part<\/span><\/h2>\nTo truly take the Viking style into 2017, try a braided part this year. The hairstyle is perfect for modern gents who want an edgy warrior appearance without the rough-around-the-edges finish. The look also works exceptionally well with an undercut<\/a> and can be styled on top in many ways, including an on-trend pompadour<\/a>. Of course, the braid will always draw focus and keep the look rooted in Viking history.<\/p>\n![\"Braided](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Braided-Part.jpg\")
\n
4. Loose Braid<\/span><\/h2>\nLong hair can create some seriously awesome Viking looks. So, if you\u2019ve already put in the time to grow your locks out to a considerable length, you should reward yourself with an incredible warrior style. The loose braid is such a style and one that you should try. Don\u2019t be put off if you\u2019ve never braided hair before. The process is surprisingly simple, and it won\u2019t matter if it\u2019s not perfect.<\/p>\n

5. Top Knot with Undercut<\/span><\/h2>\nWant a hairstyle that\u2019s equal parts Viking and hipster<\/a>? Look no further than a top knot and undercut combination. The unique style can easily fall into either category and be styled depending on your preference. For a look that\u2019s decidedly more Viking, maintain plenty of texture on top and keep the bun messy. For a more hipster style<\/a>, neatly comb and smooth your hair for a sleek look. Best of all, both work flawlessly with a beard<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Top](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Top-Knot-with-Undercut.jpg\")
\n
6. Long Hair and Beard<\/span><\/h2>\nWhile loose, long hair can create a seriously stylish look, it doesn\u2019t always come across as a Viking style. To make the lengthy cut appear a little tougher and more rugged, try partnering it with a beard<\/a>. Also, keep your hair a little messy and full of texture, either naturally or using a sea salt spray. The combination of the beard<\/a> and untidy mane will take you back to the days of the Vikings with ease.<\/p>\n![\"Long](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Long-Hair-and-Beard.jpg\")

7. Mohawk<\/span><\/h2>\nVikings and punks may have more in common than you think. As well as a healthy dose of attitude, the two groups also seemingly shared an appreciation of the Mohawk<\/a>. While they may have worn the look in different ways, the cut was essentially the same. Shaved sides with a noticeably longer strip of hair running down the middle of the head from the hairline to the back. Today, the hairstyle is still an excellent choice for gents and a top look to try if you can handle its intensity.<\/p>\n![\"Mohawk\"](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Mohawk.jpg\")
\n
8. Slicked-Back Undercut<\/span><\/h2>\nRocking a Viking hairstyle is all about finding the right cut with just the right amount of intensity to suit you. So, if you like a haircut that\u2019s awesome and edgy but is also easy to wear every day, consider trying a slicked-back<\/a> undercut. The look is both rugged and sophisticated and can be adjusted to suit your needs. For a style that\u2019s more conservative, just leave the sides a little longer and the top a little shorter.<\/p>\n![\"Slicked-Back](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Slicked-Back-Undercut.jpg\")
\n
9. Messy Half-Pony<\/span><\/h2>\nLong, glorious locks are also characteristic of the Viking style and can be an excellent way to channel the look. The key to pulling off long hair like a Viking is to keep your hair messy and textured. Although, as it\u2019s 2017, you don\u2019t want your mane to get too out of control. As such, a messy, half-pony is an ideal solution. Not only does the look provide you with the rough and rugged appearance of a Viking, but it\u2019s also practical and keeps strands stylishly off your face.<\/p>\n

10. Half-Bun<\/span><\/h2>\nDon\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t feel like shaving your hair and are yet to grow your locks to an epic length. You can still achieve an amazing Viking-inspired hairstyle with what you\u2019ve got. A simple half-bun is all you need to take your plain, medium length mane into warrior territory. Just remember to complete the look with a beard<\/a> or, at least, a whole lot of attitude.<\/p>\n![\"Half-Bun\"](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Half-Bun.jpg\")

11. Man Bun<\/span><\/h2>\nThe man bun is a great style that appears modern but offers a killer Viking feel. It\u2019s also easy to create and can be worn with any hair type, including curly<\/a>, wavy<\/a>, and straight. To rock the look, you just need to have medium or long locks and a hair elastic. Then, all you need to do is use your hands to pull all your hair back and secure it into a small bun. While you can use a comb or brush, your hands will offer a more authentic, slightly dishevelled appearance.<\/p>\n![\"Man](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Man-Bun.jpg\")
\n
12. Man Braid<\/span><\/h2>\nBraids are also commonly associated with Vikings and can create a unique and stylish look. Best of all, the man braid<\/a> is currently trending and a top, fashionable hairstyle to try. For a standard style, try creating a single braid down the centre of your head. While this will be most easy to do on long hair, the look can also work on cropped cuts with the help of some styling products.<\/p>\n![\"Man](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Man-Braid.jpg\")

One way to do this is to combine a half-pony with an undercut. The powerful partnership will project serious warrior vibes and is sure to get you noticed. To become a triple-threat, you can also try adding a man braid<\/a> along the top of your head before finishing with the ponytail.<\/p>\n![\"Half-Pony](\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Half-Pony-with-Undercut.jpg\")
