Viking braids are a new take on a very old men’s hairstyle. Centuries ago, Viking warriors wore braids in their hair as a special badge of honor. They wore braids when fighting. It is a true symbol of strength and masculinity. We have carefully selected Viking braids for men.
How to do Viking braids for men
Traditional Viking braids include simple three-strand braids that are easy to do. Depending on the desired style, you will need to cut out a section of your hair.
Viking braids often involve braiding the back and top of the head. You need to divide the part of your hair that you want to braid into three parts. Pull the left end of your hair towards the center so that the strands are centered.
Next, pull the right end of your hair towards the center. Repeat this pattern until the entire length of hair is completed.
Once you reach the end of the braid, secure it with a small hair band. If you want a rougher look, you can pull the sides of the braid a little to loosen it up.
Depending on your hair length and style, you can freely trace the rest of your hair, tie it into a ponytail, or even braid it. Use a little hairspray or wax to keep everything in place.
