Combs Were A Staple Accessory
Even though we’ve just discussed how much Vikings valued their hair and beards, you still might be surprised by this fact. Vikings were so concerned that they always brought their own combs with them. These combs, which were frequently used to remove dirt, insects, and filth from hair and beard, were typically made from animal bone. Although we may believe that we go to great lengths to maintain our appearances nowadays, very few men still carry combs in their wallets as the Vikings did!

They Reportedly Share Wash Basins
The quality of ancient baths was not up to modern standards, even though Vikings loved bathing more regularly than other Middle Ages people. At community bathhouses, the same water would be used repeatedly. As repulsive as this may sound to us now, it’s critical to remember that science did not yet exist. People simply didn’t understand how unclean polluted water is. It was commonplace for many men to share a single bowl of water to wash their grimy faces and beards with or to take a bath in used bath water.
