Manly Middle-earth hairstyles

The Last Homely House has some great hairstyles for the girls and those of you seeking Elven braids, but we thought that some more were needed for the guys. So here are a few tips for those of you seeking that perfect Middle-earth hairdo.

A Dwarven delight ~ by Lady_Tolwen

Have you ever wanted to have the stylish hair of Dwarves? Well, here’s how it’s done:

1. Grow out your hair and beard. They should be at least past your shoulders.

2. You have two options, braid hair and two sides of your beard or leave loose.

3. Spend a few months mining to get that desirable dirt-lover look. Recommended places are Erebor (aka the Lonely Mountain), the Mines of Moria, or if you want some extra sparkly, the Glittering Caves.

4. After spending some time in the mines of your choice, rejoin the top world and go on a quest. Never bathe during steps 3 and 4.

5. Congrats! You now have Dwarven hair! Now find an Elven queen and impress her with your new ‘do.

A hair-style fit for a King ~ by morwenna

Just follow the simple steps below to achieve the Aragorn look!

1. Grow hair to shoulder length.

2. Sleep in the woods for a couple of months.

3. A few twigs or leaves in the hair will add to that “just got up” look that some Elvish maidens find so irresistible.

4. Resist the urge to wash, brush or comb hair or to apply any girlie or Elvish products to hair unless about to be crowned as King.

5. If the latter applies, rush to Minas Tirith barbers to get spruced up.

6. Once crowned revert to old habits.

Gollum’s crowning glory ~ by Happy_Hobbit

1. First grow hair to shoulder length.

2. Shave off all hair apart from a few choice strands.

3. Liberally apply fish oil to each strand.

4. Comb strands over to sparsely cover head.

This is the idea for a wet look style, goes well with minimal clothing and is known to attract the attention of Elves!!!
