since you all like to think vikings wore the same hairstyles as black people and use that to justify horrible cultural appropriation against black people.

wary from the different nordic regions. I'll talk about the braids how i know them and show examples of the braiding hairstyles, jewelry and combs used. A lot of people say "but vikings wore dreads too", this is a myth, they did not, vikings wore something called "knots" it is

where you take either twisted or braided hair and loop it into knots, these would often get messy after fighting or working and might be mistaken for dreads, but the process and how long they last differ a LOT. Braiding in viking culture and traditional braiding has been tainted

a lot by the media, bc of shows like vikings showing only semi realistic hairstyles i can see why some people might think vikings wore box braids, corn rows etc. im here to tell you THEY DID NOT, i have been taught how to braid both male and female viking braids and none of them

use the same techniques as black hairstyles do, it's a way less tight hairbraiding type, and often you braid in warying sizes and not only one, also you braid several braids together, twist and knot them etc. these are not black protective hairstyles. These are made for cosmetic

and spiritual reasons. It was the most attractive and important feature for vikings to have long and beautiful clean hair, the braids provided cleanliness during travels and hard work while being able to be taken out to wash often. Because vikings actually bathed often for the
standard of that time (year 700-1100) They valued haircombs and jewelry for their hairstyles and the complicated braids were a sign of healthy and strong hair. Which was the beauty standard in viking society. There is so much interesting viking history and a lot of the
traditions are actually still practiced in the scandinavian (and iceland) countries today, we still have people who believe in the gods and practice the religion. We still honour our traditions, food, drinks and hairstyles and clothes. SO PLEASE HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR MINE BUT
ALSO BLACK CULTURE AND STOP COMPARING THE TWO AND SAYING ITS OKAY FOR YOU AS A NON BLACK PERSON TO WEAR BLACK HAIRSTYLES BC THE VIKINGS WORE IT. they did not, the only "vikings" i've seen wear or braid like black people is young people on the internet or people looking to make
easy cash. So please don't use this excuse. educate yourself about other cultures and don't for a second think you are doing anything by saying vikings also wore black hairstyles because nowhere is any proof of that, not in traditions not in finds not in anything.
also please note: THESE WERE THE BEST PICTURES I COULD FIND WITH A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH there are so many more interesting hairstyles and knotting really isn't used a lot anymore (i assume bc it wasnt really that pretty) and a lot of modern vikings also just wear their hair loose
ALSO: remember that while i know vikings and grew up in a place where i learned a lot i don't know EVERYTHING and didn't practice the religion or traditions a lot myself, there are definetely people more knowledgable on this subject than me

also another afterthpught, knotting is not something i can find a lot of sources on its primarily from how i learned and saw people do braids in my village and what i learned at museums. the knots are mentioned but the exact method isn’t mentioned in the danish sources i saw
