Archeological discovery in Norway Reveals a lot about the amazingly advanced society of Vikings

Bleached Blondes

Vikings were not blonde. They originally owned brown or darker brown hair. However, they used to bleach or dye their hair at regular intervals to have their distinctive sense of identity. Gradually, it consolidated into common practice. They inculcated it in their culture that soon began to be counted as one of their features. This is how they became to be remembered as blonde haired.
