The Viking Beard is experiencing a real revival, thanks in no small part to various Netflix series like “Ragnarok” or “Vikings.” The Thor Beard is the beard style worn by the main character Ragnar Lothbrok in the series “Vikings.” It is therefore considered wild, unruly, untamed, confident, strong, and independent.

However, Viking Beards are not just a wild forest of beard hair, but require a lot of beard care and styling. A special highlight is when the Viking Beard is braided - this is how the Vikings once wore it when they went into battle.

Who is the Viking Beard suitable for?

The beard style Viking Beard suits almost every man. It is a beard form of the full beard and fits every face shape. However, you should have somewhat denser and fuller facial hair for it.

Light fuzz or gaps in the beard do not make a nice, stately Viking Beard. If you have patchy or incomplete beard growth, you might consider a Goatee or Moustache instead.

How do I grow a Viking Beard?

Do you want to grow a Viking Beard? As with all full beards, the key is to let it grow. And let it grow long enough.

Make sure it looks well-groomed even during the growth phase and trim the beard hairs regularly to the same length - as not all of your hairs grow at the same rate.

How long does it take to grow a Viking Beard?

To have a impressive full beard, you should plan for about six to eight weeks of time and patience.

An official Viking Beard is typically 8 to 15 cm long. For that, you need several months.

What variations of the Viking Beard are there?

The Viking Beard is not just one type. We want to introduce you to the most distinctive beard styles.

1. Short Viking Beard

The beard style as a short Viking Beard is a variation of the classic Viking Beard. The beard hair covers the whole face here as well, but the hairs are trimmed shorter, so you see more of your neck area.

This can be more practical or required for professional reasons. Also, if you have tattoos on your neck or back area, the shorter version might suit you better.

2. Braided Viking Beard

The Viking Beard can also be braided into a braid. From a length of 12 cm upwards, it looks good and can also have practical reasons: during sports or eating, the long beard hairs won't get in your way.

Depending on the beard density, you can braid a thicker braid, two braids, or several smaller, thinner ones - twisting is also an option.

Maintaining a Viking Beard: What you need to know

As simple as it sounds to grow wild facial hair, you should especially pay attention to beard care with this beard style. Use only a beard shampoo or beard soap and possibly additional conditioner to make the beard hair nice and soft. Your beard hair should feel soft and smooth and comb well in one direction with a beard comb or a beard brush.

Chaotically standing, dry or brittle hairs can quickly appear unkempt. To protect the beard hairs from uncontrolled fluttering, you should also use beard oil like Störtebekker’s. It conditions, adds shine, and weighs the hair down a bit.

Massage the beard oil into the beard hair and comb the hair through - this spreads it nicely through the hair and smooths everything out. If necessary, use a hairdryer and comb your beard straight while holding the hairdryer from above.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Viking Beard

What beard jewelry did the Vikings use?

Vikings actually adorned their beards with jewelry. Traditionally, beard beads were braided into the beard.

The Viking beard jewelry had a deeper meaning: While the beard itself was already considered a status symbol, the jewelry represented wealth acquired. The more elaborate the bead jewelry, the better situated the wearer was.

Did all Vikings have red beards?

There certainly were red beards among the Vikings. However, not every Viking had red hair. The majority of them were likely blonde.

Which celebrities have a Viking beard?

Bradley Cooper, Jason Momoa, and Jeff Bridges are prominent wearers of a Viking beard. Actor Travis Fimmel had to grow one specifically for his role as Ragnar Lothbrok in the Netflix series Vikings.

As beautiful as the Viking beard style is, it requires a lot of attention and care. Feel free to check out the beard products in our shop.

Conclusion

A Viking Beard is an impressive beard appearance. However, to keep it impressive, regular beard care is essential.

Wash the facial hair regularly and trim it - especially the neckline; otherwise, your beard can quickly look like wild growth. Beard oil is also essential to prevent the hair from drying out and becoming brittle.
