Norn new hairstyles 03/18/14
I would like some new beard options for norns, since usually helmets hide your hair anyway.
The new female hairs are really good.
(and the other 8 elite specs maxed too)
Jora Corrupted is looking more like her old self than ever before .
(and she just hit level 30 a few minutes ago — Bear Form for the Win!)
I wonder what your basis for comparison is…”

The only hairstyle for the Norn that came with the update that I like is the braided Arnold Conan look: http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/gw2-new-hairstyles-norn-male-3_thumb.jpg
I think a lot of fans would like to see a long messy wild look much like this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DSs2bX13hVc/TDyGiJgDAYI/AAAAAAAACSI/2y56JixnI3E/s1600/gloweringconan.jpg!
Rather than this: http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/gw2-new-hairstyles-norn-male-1_thumb.jpg – C’mon, really?! What the heck is that… I think my nieces little girl sports the same look.
I think if the race were to have short hair that they would be more apt to sport various hawks and undercuts. They would have sported braids for sure. I would like to see the end of the magical disappearance of my beard when I wear open faced helms and more Icelandic beard and mutton chop options. As it is I find a majority of the beards look Mongolian, there is nothing wrong with that mind you but I don’t want to look like a mongol, I am of Norse decent and would like my avatar to look Norse.

AAaa need the lone-tail to the side hairdo for my norn (female)! That’s what I’ve been looking for.
@elrohir: Though you could argue they are norn and not norse, of course, but still yes I would love to see the menfolk to get a bit more beard styles to show off!
I think the new female Norn styles are great, especially the braided pigtails and the messy side bun. Not 100% on the side pony-tail look… seems a bit “pretty” and more of a human style. Still like it though!
Awesome now I can be Elsa from Frozen, Anna from Frozen and Elsa with her hair down I assume will be incoming I assume. Soon™

They are not Mongols either, yet many of their facial hair options look to be inspired by them. Being of Welsh, Briton, and Nordic descent that has greatly influenced the design of my avatar and it is no secret that the race was inspired a great deal by the culture of the Picts, Celts, and Anglo-Saxons of Great Britain. I only meant that I personally would like to see more inspired by the Norsemen. I also think it would be cool if there was an option to give my norn sideburns like Wolverine or Toombs, I probably would purchase a makeover kit for that.

There a reason why the Norn have a Mongolian body traits
the origanal concept of the Norn where a mix of Nordic and Mongolian Culture and traits

Trivia
Early concept art for the Norn refers to them as “Norngolians”.
I made my Norn to have more Mongolian/Samoan with Nordic smaller details not counting the green eyes and white hair lol
