Have you ever seen the words 'Viking' and 'manscaping' in the same sentence? It's not a joke, they loved combing their hair! https://twitter.com/EMidsVikings/status/1249658143245840385
For what it's worth, I looked up the word 'braid' once in the Old Norse dictionary and it's extremely rare
Ponytails were all the rage, though, maybe even twisted like a rope. Detail from the Stora Hammar picture stone no. 1 in Gotland, and Sigyn holding a cup over Loki on the Gosforth cross in Cumbria.
And ponytails with coils at the base. Detail from the Tjängvide picture stone in Gotland, a small figurine and a gullgubbe, both from Sweden.
These might have head coverings, it's hard to tell. Small Swedish figurine and figures from the Oseberg tapestry.
I found this article, 'Viking Age Hair' by Elisabeth Arwill-Nordbladh, very helpful when researching my book, among other sources. https://intarch.ac.uk/journal/issue42/6/8.cfm
