Easy Viking Hair for Men - Bjorn's French Braid Undercut Style

Now that we’re in the long drought between the first and second halves of Vikings season 4, it’s a good time to learn French braiding, and the Bjorn hairstyle that uses it. It's an interesting alternative to the man bun, and it's easy and quick to do once you nail the braid technique. I walk you through that as well in this video. For a great men's braided style, check it out!

Thankyou for showing styles for men. I am at this moment attempting this one. I am having trouble as I am very new to french braiding, but I shall persevere. :)

You make this look so easy, I've been trying and trying... It's like my hands have developed a mind of their own that's got some twisted ego and doesn't give two ticks about what you actually want =PPP My arms hurt but Imma keep at it

I do not comment often but your tutorials are great, i couldn't find a video so well explainted and showed, others just tell u what to do but don't show it really.

This is the best French braid tutorial I've ever seen. I've never quite figured out how to hold all the pieces, thank you for showing how!!

My friend just braided my hair last week and now I'm trying to learn to do it myself. Love the Viking look, thanks for the tips!

[Avery-unhe]

Thank you so much! I'm letting my hair grow out for the fall (but going to keep getting the sides & back shaved) and this is one of the very few Viking braid tutorials I could find!
I've got terrible hand-eye coordination, so it's going to take me a while, but now I have a good reference!

This is how my boyfriend likes his hair done, and I might have finally found a tutorial I can actually follow, thank you very much.

[HideAndGeekGames]

I've been needing more hairstyles to do with my undercut. Thank you so much for this!

[liefthered]

Wow, thank you so much, I was wearing my hair as a top knot samurai look for the longest and I never thought I would find another hairstyle I liked. This look takes a little more work but it looks fantastic. Thank you.

I have a beard that I have been braiding for a while, it is pretty viking-ish when I'm done. I also have long, flowing, Norse locks. I don't know why it took me this long to find your tutorials, but they fit perfectly for what I'm doing, and I didn't even know I was doing it so thank you!

I started braiding my hair with this tutorial. I already had been shaving my sides and back myself for a while, but had been using a manbun.
I have curly/wavy hair and it's extremely thick, so I can tell you that learning this was a pain. If I can do it, you can!

Managed to find some weird technique and it works. Was way more tiring the first times but still take a while.
After getting more comfortable with French Braiding, I've experimented with smaller braids into larger ones etc.

Once I grow just a little bit more hair/soon, I will try Ragnar's style where there's 3 main French Braids into a large braid at the back.

With my type of hair it can get really fuzzy - which is fine for viking hair, but the pattern can get a bit lost. Gonna experiment with more hair at once added in once past the forehead. Otherwise I have to have the strands really taut. And centered.

There is a reverse French Braid iirc? Gonna have to look that up too.

I like this! I'm growing my hair during lockdown, so I can have this hair style.

[raha_hz]

I have really short hair and tried this and i did it in my first try. its so beautiful 😍

[xxluchianxx]

I've tried this maybe a thousand times and still can't get it. Being bald is much easier.

You're hair is absolutely gorgeous, mines just a little lighter but so thick it's hard to braid by myself so I get my wife to do it in 3 fishbone cornrows. Best way to have it long but shrink it up so it's not flopping around everywhere. I really don't think I'll ever cut my hair again lol.

[evstuff]

I swear I’ve been trying to learn to French braid hair for like 6 years and the way you explained it finally got it to click and I was putting like 4 French braids into my boyfriends hair lol.

[kiiimmo]

love that you do hairstyles for men! :)
can you do some more everyday hairstyles for men with long hair, my boyfriend would love those xx

[jmnjmn]

Awesome. Thanks. Still can't do it myself, but my wife can. I appreciate you.

[Pyre-Ants]

tried this. no chance with my hair, but at least one video that is comprehensible and show what to do. Awesome
