The typical Norse Scandinavian viking had long flowing hair, ranging in the usual colors of blonde, brown, red and black. The darker the hair, the uglier the person was regarded. They kept their hair long as it showed spiritual and physical potency, as hair is something that grows out from within the person.
The vikings were very clean, having had combs, scissors, and soap. They even had one day of the week named after washing. "Latherdaeg" was their Saturday. Sometimes lye would be left in the soap so those with darker hair could "bleach" it and make it fairer.
Vikings prided themselves on their grooming, as a neat and kept person was more respectable than an unwashed, scraggy person.
It should be noted that the Christians at the time did not bathe at all, as it required the person to be naked, and to touch themselves. It also showed pride in one's body. These are of course, sinful. It has been recorded by monks that the Heathens would bathe and comb them their hair to steal away the Christian women.

What is the Norse name for North America?
The modern Icelandic word is 'Norður-Ameríka' (Norðr-Ameríka in Old Norse, {from my knowledge}), but Norse was 'extinct' by the 14th century, and is claimed by many that America was first discovered by Columbus in ..1492s?.. That's late 15th century. HOWEVER.. an Icelandic born Norseman sailed to Mainland America in A.D. 1001, discovered and named the northern tip of the 'Newfoundland' island Vínland. Meaning Wine-land. So they might have called it Vínland??.. I dunno. Norðr-Ameríka.
They used an ancient form of knitting called naalbinding [also known as "needlebinding" or "one needle knitting"] to make mittens, hats, socks and legwarmers. They also wore wool clothing during the winter [as opposed to the linen clothing that they wore during the warmer months] and a wool cloak. They would also keep a fire going in their house [it would get kind of smoky in there, but they needed all the warmth they could get] If they ran out of wood to burn they would sometimes burn animal dung. It smelled horrible, but it was better than freezing to death.

Purple and Gold From min.scout.com What exactly are the Vikings colors? Why don't the helmets match the color of the jerseys? Technically speaking, they are the same color. NFL Properties, the league's licensing arm, states " ... Pantone 269 (the official color registration number) is Viking Purple ... The gold is Pantone 1235." Even though the technical color used on the helmets and jersey's are the same, the colors don't exactly match because the material used to make the jerseys absorbs the dye color differently than the helmets. Unlike the old days when the old jerseys matched the helmets better. If your such a diehard fan that you have to paint your car or truck Viking purple, that's a much tougher task to match the jersey color to a car paint. Don't despair though, a customer service representative at Suburban Auto Body in Little Canada (MN) found one. After searching through dozens and dozens of pages of the paint sample book, the General Motors purples looked gray. However, the Ford Bright Sapphire was a close match, and Ford's Ultraviolet was almost a perfect match. That's FA 95:GN for anyone seriously thinking of painting their mode of transportation.
