They didn't.
Well, at least not in battle.
A horned helmet might LOOK good, but the horns would make it real easy to knock the helmet off.
And if you had it strapped on tight, a good strike would either knock the horn off, or break your neck.
Horned headgear might have been used in rituals for some sort of symbolic value though.
