Vikings Hair Tutorial for Men - Ragnar Lothbrok

[@K1S7Z3]

My favourite thing about this channel is how many men are so excited about having bad ass hairstyles! It's good.

[@TheKillerSn4ke]

This is pure awesome...totally going to try this once I get my hair a bit longer. I really appreciate that you take care of us guys with inventive (yet badass) styles, unlike 99.9% of other channels dedicated to hair. Plus most of the guys who talk about hair (and there are not many) don't really know what they are doing anyway. Keep it up!

[@silvousplaits]

Thank you, this means a lot!

[@JariDawnchild]

There needs to be more long hair tutorials for men. There needs to be more long haired men. With full beards. None of that "manscaping" bullshit either. If a man chooses less hair for himself, that's one thing, but too many dudes groom themselves to someone else's standards. Some of the best looking men I know are hairy, and they're beautiful human beings apart from looks, too.

[@amberlancaster5897]

I can't imagine trying to do this on my own hair. I did this style on my 4 year old daughter, it looked amazing. Wish this would let me share the picture on here. Your tutorials are great, easy to follow.

[@yaiyasmin]

Your hair colour is incredible!

[@dennisolsen4507]

Yaiyasmin I remember when my hair was the exact same color, now it's just grey. The ways of the red head.

[@pavarotti4085]

Yeah, we want more hair styles for man! with long hair!

[@silvousplaits]

Ðemian Farengar working on it! Think Hobbit ;)

[@daniilzemlyanoy5712]

Second that!

[@Windtrooper1]

Ðemian Farengar Agreed

[@BIOSHOCKFOXX]

You look similar to Sansa Stark(Sophie Turner) from GOT.

[@JaxAttax451]

She DOES

[@JaxAttax451]

Holy shit!

[@thoriqdiazpahlevi7017]

Me too :v

[@timothywebster6708]

I thought it WAS her.

[@bracoyote96]

Well, I just gave it a try for the first time in my life and I got something. Not exactly what the video shows but something that I can show in public. I hope I get better with some practice. Thank you so much for this video ^^

[@silvousplaits]

+bracoyote96 Congrats!

[@SebHaarfagre]

This channel helped me get a fantastic hair - as a man - and it's fun to be able to do these things. I'm Norse myself and I personally think it fits me great. I have wavy/curly hair and I get too hot/especially when sleeping, so I always cut my hair short. But finally I found something that is "me". Thank you! I'd post a picture here if I wasn't cautious about public info. Just one thing: Ragnar's - and many others in the show - have the cut line much further up, about where most people will have the bump. Or nearby. The braid will look aesthetically better and "flow" in a continuous angle/bend all the way from the front of your head. Instead of any indents at the back. Also, I shave to 2-3 mm. on the sides of course and sport a beard. I have thick hair. Holy crap you have to have long hair to get a braid"tail" as fat as Ragnar's when done this way. Mine is less than half the width I think and I have hair a bit further down than my shoulders.

[@SebHaarfagre]

I just realized "as Ragnar's" doesn't say much, I mean, when he has the bands later on in the show and a long braidtail.

[@smithredhawk]

Whenever I watch Vikings, I'm always checking out their hair. It's very intricate and done to perfection.

[@MrMovieAddict26]

Thank you sooooo much! Watching Vikings the other night, I thought to myself how awesome it would be to have a Ragnar type hair style. This will help me get it done, and without having to shave my head! :D Again, thank you!

[@khrysrogers-leveille5364]

I have taken watched & used this Tutorial for My Husband & Son, They Both Love it.. I still Suck-A$$ at french braids, but I'm getting better, it holds in both of their hair for the whole week, even with out Gel(which isn't necessarily the same when my Son has had his hair professionally cornrowed). We are a very active family, & it holds up to my sons Taekwon-Do, and our Hat & Hood use(which has been necessary these last few weeks with temperatures running down to -40 Celsius & Fahrenheit). As long as the braids remain I can reset the middle section & the length again after brush outs & showers on the particularly difficult weeks.

[@silvousplaits]

You say you suck at them, but making them last for a week is pretty impressive!

[@briankostiw9654]

You did the best explanation in simple terms of how to do this hairstyle. Thank you for saving me lots of time! Appreciate it! 😉

[@RandeT73]

I think I will be doing my husband's hair like this this weekend.

[@anders1621]

+Rande Thorman Don't forget to cut his beard ;)

[@j-sidegamin3119]

+anders1621 NEVER CUT THE BEARD

[@user-gp4ev5hu3p]

I feel like Sansa Stark just met Ragnar. Love the hair by the way.

[@pablomendez8039]

damn, I wAS gonna write something similar to that

[@nicholaswilson3504]

Me too!!!

[@CombatChicken]

WHAT IS SANSA STARK DOING HERE?

[@loochboy]

+Panda Corns That's what I was thinking!

[@Jeudaos]

She does look almost exactly like sophie turner it's crazy!

[@nicolettemitchell5236]

My boyfriend wants me to do this with his hair. This helped so much!

[@SerendipitousSky]

I just watched the Vikings Season 2 premiere, so I was so excited to see you do this! (I probably shouldn't be wearing men's hairstyle, but...) I love the way you did the top, I saw someone do it with Dutch braids instead, and I prefer this. Do you have any idea how they got so much height on his braids? Mine seem so flat in comparison, though I think his just might look really tall in contrast with the shaved sides.

[@acedeuce4709]

Thanks so much for this, easy(as it gets) to follow, been tying my hair in knots for a while for lack of french braid skills.

[@Danroghen]

I shake the hand of the man that can pull this off on his own. With all my might and powers I can not produce the amount of hand eye out of body experience coordination required to do this to my hair. You need an assistant for this. I braid my hair in a single low braid daily. This would be cool but expensive as I would need to pay a stylist to have the patience to make this work. Very sad I have the hair and beard to pull the look off.

[@sophiejones7727]

don't give up! keep practicing! It's actually not hand-eye coordination though, as you can't see the braid very well even in a mirror if it's on top of your head. You need to learn how the braid sections feel in your hands. You can practice the finger movements for braiding by using yarn, which is easier as it's not attached to your head. Start by doing little accent braids on the side of your head. This is easier because you can see them, so you don't have to do everything by touch. Then try a simple braid once with your eyes closed, pick a morning when you don't have to be anywhere in case it goes horribly wrong. If you can do that, then you're ready to start braiding on the top of your head or behind it. It will be slow at first, but you'll get quicker the more you practice. If you know any ladies, or fellow long-haired men, ask if they will let you practice the style on their hair. take a photo and bring it with you for reference. That way, you can get a better feel for things like how much hair to take for each braid. And never be afraid to ask if you get stuck on something! It would be a real shame if you didn't wear this style, you really do have the perfect look for it.

[@tamarapoissonnier1566]

I love that it might be a tutorial for men, but you don't speak like they're dummies.

[@silvousplaits]

Tamara Poissonnier guys are the bomb! No reason to leave them out of the fancy hair party!

[@morphi9983]

too bad we kinda need her to speak to us like the dummies we are :(

[@schryliam]

@@morphi9983 More or less haha, I will be trying this today. See what happens. Untill now I go no further than a tail haha. But I really would like to end up having the hair of captain Vane from Blacksails!

[@omarjoseffernandez2436]

I didnt even think I can braid myself. Thankyou so much for making it possible ♡

[@Mecuniv]

Thank you for this! I LOVE the hairstyles in Vikings! Your videos are amazing! :D

[@DrachenBlasen]

Oh my goood the colour of your hair is really beautifulll!! I love it!

[@jeffbray0]

Hey thanks for this awesome tutorial, I'm definitely gona do my hair like this as soon as it's to my shoulders!! I could be wrong but from what i saw I thought he had 5 braids. 3 at the front and 2 in a second row just behind and in between the front 3! Would love to see how to do that, if you have time! Awesome vid.. and show!

[@JohnSmith-fq7hj]

Amazing you can do this all without even looking half the time im still tryin to figure out how to do it in the mirror i can do a nice tight braid with a small section but once i start tryin to pull in other hair i always mess up the turns somehow

[@Wowee2012]

Ok I'm gonna make my sister do this for me today :D It actually looks super practical since I'm fairly active outdoors and have long, tangle-prone hair.

[@alessiod.19]

Great video, thank you! Actually instead of French braids I've used Dutch braids, I've found the final result more similar to Ragnar's hairstyle. Thank you again, have a great day :)

[@lurdessilva8730]

Uieieke

[@SolanosPearl]

I did something similar to this for my wedding! Love this hair style

[@ValdienNemesis]

Nice styling, just wish I wasn't all thumbs when it came to my longer (shoulder length) hair. First time I've grown it out, but I'm thinking of getting the true Ragnar cut if I can find someone willing to try it. Thanks for taking the time to show us guys how to try new styles for our hair.

[@pablogauna3780]

I've just met your channel and it's amazing! I definitely enjoyed the hairstyles and I definitely enjoyed you! Congratulations! 👏👏👏

[@ruzya7]

I think I'm trying this hairstyle for my husband this holidays love your videos!

[@silvousplaits]

+ruzya7 thanks! Hope you had a good holiday!

[@bobofufu]

I'm sooo trying this, your instructions were crystal clear and greatly visually framed so thanks for that!

[@marioap9936]

Can you do the witcher’s hair?

[@Akeerbeltz]

Good luck to you and jon on his journey to save the north and Rickon .!!!

[@fabiozanella7988]

Hi, very good your video, managed to make the hairstyle after numerous attempts, and still was not very good kkkkkkkkkk, only one doubt, in season two Ragnar is no longer with those braids, you could make a video of the new hairstyle? You are amazing! Thanks

[@phatmilkers2074]

Ayo! I'm 9 years late, but this tutorial is amazing. Thanks for taking the time to do and share.

[@darthevol3570]

Hey, this is great. I haven't cut my hair in over 2 1/2 years. And I've been wanting something to do with it, and this seems perfect. I have some ideas that maybe you could help with. And a suggestion or request...I work as a cook, so i need a hairstyle that'll keep my hair down and together, but still look like a bad A.

[@dodgeblake1096]

The braids in a ponytail look so good! Thank you for this great tip.

[@Isaiypres]

Honestly been wanting to try something new with my hair as weird as that sounds lol thanks for sharing! Definitely gonna try this since the bottom half of my head is shaved (:

[@rikketakera]

I love the colour of your hair. It's beautiful :)

[@zackeryevans6642]

Just now seeing this video. I've actually been looking for something unique to do with my hair. Thanks!

[@Vinkoman]

great tutorials! I am a men with long hair and a week ago i cut my hair like Ivar. Now that i´ve seen your tutorials for the hairstyles I wish, that I didn´t cut them ^^

[@PevertLafayette]

It looks amazing! I'm growing my hair out, and I think this kind of hairstyle is actually a great idea :)

[@Galaxy-Raider]

I tried this on my grandson today and he looked awesome. thank you.

[@TempleOvBlackLight]

I can braid my hair pretty well, but damn those french style braids!! Thanks for the awesome tutorial!

[@Sabrinagreen6548]

Today was my second day trying this and my handiwork isn’t the best, but this video has really helped me to unleash my inner Norseman

[@xwaltranx]

how much time does it take to make without a mirror and i have never braided before. hairs on my waist, i can find someone to shave my sides, where on my head should i get shaved?

[@lionman333]

Amazing tutorial Lady Silvousplaits. I`m watching your tips as I try it but I`m really bad at braiding my own hair! haha

[@KstewLover1]

ok this is awesome! im so gonna try this and if i fail my mum is going to try xD

[@FeliciaKorvo]

my hair is barely chin length so I still have to wait a few months until I can do this... but then again I can always use some of the small (lace) french braids to accentuate my side cuts. It would be awesome if you did some more tutorials/variations for hairstyles with shaved sides and/or undercut! :)

[@EconaelGaming]

This hairstyle looks fantastic

[@lainalainalain]

I've been wanting to braid my husbands hair for awhile but he doesn't have shaved sides. Your video was perfect for me since it was throwing me off seeing no hair in other videos.

[@psykokitty7]

Is there any way to do this style without french? I cannot do that since my accident. My shoulder and arm don't work that way anymore. I love this look and would love to try it, but maybe an easier version? If not cool, but thanks for all these awesome vids.

[@cmd_reboot_sim]

Been growing my hair out for 2 and a half years. The man bun is getting real old at this point lol. Can’t wait to try this tomorrow. Wonder if it would be easier to have my wife attempt it or do it myself. (Both of us have never braided) she’s done simple braids for my daughters but nothing this advanced

[@studiohoudoe424]

I currently have pretty lengthy hair, but just not enough to pull this off. Definitely on my #goals list tho. Great tutorial!

[@robinwolf7856]

You are very good at explaining how to do thing. You should be very proud. Out of all my friends and family, I'm the only one who likes to braid and with this videos I can learn to braid more. ❤️😝😄

[@Unlucky13ification]

It's nice to finally see a woman giving hair tutorials for men. Before, I'd get all my help from men and it felt one-sided

[@stressmuffin]

I think it's awesome that you did this tutorial for both genders. It's an awesome look for Summer. If I had my hair long, I'd try this look.

[@vincentpemberton3749]

This is awesome, thank you! Had my (just over) shoulder length hair for some 12 years but literally never done anthing with it.. I don't think a lot of men want too, but also hardly any know how so not really something that came up. Was watching Viking's recently and my girlfriend coincidentially said I should try some 'crazy syles' with my hair rather than just letting it hang all the time.. So.. Naturally this is what I thought about :D

[@silvousplaits]

I agree with your girlfriend! Guys can rock some badass braids if they want to.

[@benny1051]

Thanks, I needed a new style. Very good tutorial

[@laurensongoogle5297]

how often do you need to redo it? How to maintain it? Great video

[@myrap.7157]

Can you do a video on Roberta's half up half down from Galavant, if you've seen the show?

[@NerdyFox-xn4pt]

I usually stick to Game of Thrones hairstyles, but I'm so excited to add some Vikings styles to my repertoire 😍 Thank you for the video!

[@nguyenlam6266]

I have grown only the top part just like ragnar but I can't seem to have a thick ponytail like he did. Can you help me?

[@steffennielsen5942]

Awesome! You girls know all the tricks and tecniques :) thank you for uploading

[@GunnerBob92]

Ive never braided hair before but i look forward to trying to braid my own

[@KateandBree]

Have I ever told you how much I love your red hair? It's so pretty!!! I seriously need to watch the Season 2 premiere, but I'm on a GoT binge as this one lacks HBO so I finally got Seasons 1-3 (I saw 1 & 2 from the library, but to own them...totally different!) I haven't seen 1 and 2 in so long I have to rewatch them in order to see 3. Vikings, Game of Thrones. Vikings. Game of Thrones. I need to play eeny meeny miney mo to choose which to watch tonight! This style is tempting me to watch Vikings!

[@silvousplaits]

Thanks dear! I know the feeling. I'm juggling between gossip girl, vikings, house of cards, and fullmetal alchemist at the moment x)

[@KateandBree]

***** Oh, Fullmetal Alchemist is a good one! I prefer the manga as it's a bit darker and grittier (although they have a truer-to-the-manga version of Fullmetal called Brotherhood which I haven't seen.)

[@silvousplaits]

KateandZena Brotherhood is the one I'm watching! It's only in Japanese with English dubs but I've heard it's much better than the one in English.

[@KateandBree]

***** The one that is available in English isn't bad. It's different as it isn't as true to the manga. It isn't as dark you could say (the manga is very dark as it's consistently dealing with how much would you give to get a life back.) It diverts a bit because, well, it was being written at the same time the manga was still being written and finished; since animation storylines go faster, it wasn't as true to the storyline. Brotherhood was written after the manga was completed, so it's probably as dark as the manga. Sloth is the biggest difference between the animes. In Brotherhood and the manga, Sloth is a man; in the 2003 series, Sloth is portrayed as the Elric brother's failed attempt of bringing back their mother. There have been a few speculations at to what happened to their mother when they tried to bring her back, but I don't remember if the author ever fully confirmed what happened to her. (I haven't read the full manga in a few years!)

[@rwcowell]

You have beautiful hair... you make this look so easy... i wish you lived near to do my hair... FYI I do shave the sides of my head! Cheers!

mines about an inch off shoulder length and my beard is just under an inch long any recommendations ?

[@TheSpoegefugl]

How recently should one's hair have been washed with shampoo? And would this be easier/better if you do this while your hair is wet?

you have such a beautiful colour to your hair

[@leriyeawilliams7916]

You did really good with this tutorial

[@ErenAngiolini]

Wow! Your tutorials are amazing! You're lovely, your explanations are perfectly clear, and you've got my same hair type (same length.. and well I'm a redhead too)! Ah, I wish I was as good as you are with hairstyles! I'm slow and can't do anything good! Today I tried the Lagertha hairstyle, tomorrow I'll try with this one and then maybe some from Game of Thrones too! I also need to try Tauriel's hairstyle since I'm going to cosplay her real soon! Please come to my house and teeeeeach meeeee! XD Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!!!

[@Meowthgg]

Hi great tutorial! You recommend that you should have hair down to you shoulders, but would it be possible to do with shorter hair than that?

[@silvousplaits]

+A Bram you can always try, but any shorter than that will make it difficult to braid unfortunately

[@gamingdrengr8904]

Can this be done with hair that goes down to your ears i havent grown it to my shoulders yet lol

[@sewmuch2do]

I would like to learn how to control the braids and other hair styles the Viking used without the rubber bands. we know they did not have any elastic

[@silvousplaits]

+Savage *420* You guys get some really cool styles in shows and movies, I couldn't let you have all the fun!

[@IndestructibleXx1]

How long would you recommend your hair have to be in order to style it like this? My hair is about 4.5 inches long. Although the front part of my hair is just short of being slicked back and put into a bun, most of my hair can. I would love to have this braid, as I have the same haircut that Ragnar has (had at season 2)

[@Jjcigarreview]

Super cool! Thanks for the demonstration.

[@PGamesOnline]

Im letting my hair grow to do this but could u tell me what parts to shave ??? coz i want like ragnar ones but im not sure in which parts i should save

[@SweetChristmas]

So cool thank you :). I like how you do the video and then do the voice over it works so well!

[@chadsavan]

beautiful woman! And very cool versions for Ragnars look! Unfortunately, I am too clumsy for doing this cool stuff! -.-

[@nicolasneiraosorio2718]

[@Mohamed94Haki]

can u please add a video how to do corn rows on ur own

[@thomasdoc2787]

Great video, I'm going to try it! My hair looks like Thor's, keep ya posted! Doc Out!

[@ReckoningGD]

I have hair down to my scapulas and I want to do something with it but it doesn't separate as easily as yours does. If I want to take a chunk of hair and split it into two, I have to spend about a minute working it until I finally have two groups(it's extremely clingy and staticy, even though I brush/comb it, it still feels like a tangled mess when working with it). I can't just grab a chunk of hair and "tada!" ready to do something with it, no, I have to spend a while working it out. See, this becomes a problem when I'm supposed to take a smaller chunk and split it into three smaller groups of hair to begin braiding it. It just doesn't let me, I would need 6 hands, a pair for each group, slowly going through/untangling it and making it ready to be worked with before I can even begin to attempt braiding it. I'm not sure if this is because of me being a complete novice, difficult hair, or both at the same time. What can I do do practice, where should I begin?

[@silvousplaits]

Are you brushing out your hair before starting to braid? Do you have a lot of split ends? The longer your hair is, the more likely uneven and coarse ends are to act like velcro and hold on to each other. Regular trims, an even hairline, and pre-brushing help with that.

[@ReckoningGD]

@@silvousplaits Yes to all! I might have to do a short trim to prevent splitting, I think I need to trim it more often in general. I suspect I have a lot of split ends. How often should one trim, every other month or so?

[@silvousplaits]

@@ReckoningGD There are different strategies you could take to trimming, actually. What most people do is cut off a small amount, maybe a centimeter, every 4-6 weeks when you go to get a haircut. But there are also some people with long hair who advocate for the techniques called "hair dusting," or "search and destroy." For the former, you hold a section of hair very taught and essentially snip off only the ends of broken hairs that stick up out of this section (and then do a micro trim on the ends). For the later, you look through all your hair specifically for split ends and then trim those off only as far up as the split goes. Both are done more frequently than a normal trim, and are more time consuming but they can be done at home if you buy a pair of sharp hair sheers.

[@rikwelgraaf601]

i did it but with shorter hair and it turnd out great

[@VintageBeauty1313]

I do this on my brother's hair all the time!

[@toji.fushiguro]

How long is your hair of the top? I'm planning on using this with an undercut just like travis in vikings :)
