Judging by historical sources and drawings the hairstyles of Viking women were quite accurate. Fortunately, hairdressers know how to recreate them. One of the options is to divide all the hair into four equal parts and carefully braid them.

Those who prefer a voluminous look can either just brush the hair on the top of the head or you enlarge the braids by pulling on the individual strands.

Straight hairstyles are also an option for a Viking look, especially for more formal occasions and events. It is not necessary to have a messy and casual hairdo in order to achieve the appearance of a Scandinavian Viking woman.

A half updo is a great option not only for long but for shoulder length hair. All you need to do is to gather (or braid) the upper part of the hair and leave the rest loose.
