LONG ANSWER Sure, Viking warriors wouldn’t blood and gore in their hair during battle. e rest of the time, though, it seems that they were the height of hygiene and style. Viking sites have yielded countless tools and implements to suggest that a lot of time was given to appearance, such as tweezers, nail cleaners, toothpicks, razors, ear spoons (to remove wax), and countless combs made from bone or reindeer antler. e ornate decorations carved on these finds show that these were items of importance to the Vikings.
Hairstyles varied between classes and professions, but shoulder-length hair and beards were all the rage for the raging Vikings. ey would also keep up the blonde look by bleaching their hair with soap containing lye. One eyecatching cut was to have the hair short at the back and a long fringe at the front, dubbed the reverse mullet.
