What are the hairstyles of ancient men?

There are bunched hair, semi-bunched hair, Qin and Han hairstyles, mousetrap braids and so on.

A bun is a long hair style, in which the hair is gathered together and coiled around the top of the head, one side of the head or the back of the head. Conical bun is also called "cone bun", spiral bun is called "spiral bun" and smaller bun is called "bun". The bun is also a wig style used by people in related industries in China traditional drama.

The ancients believed that "the parents of the body are close to the skin", so before the Qing Dynasty, Han men did not have haircuts. In the long-term evolution, they tied their hair up for the needs of life and beauty, that is, bun.

In the mid-Ming Dynasty, the quarrel between adult men gradually disappeared. Generally, working people tie their hair into three strands at the back of their heads, while literati, scholars, bureaucrats and nobles generally tie their hair in a bun and wrap a net towel around their heads to fix their hair.

Historical sources:

In ancient China, both men and women of Han nationality had to have long hair. When men reach a certain age, they will be held an "adult" ceremony. When a man wears a crown, he puts his hair in a bun, which is called "bunching" and then "crowning". It symbolizes the right to sacrifice, the right to participate in the war and the right to be in power for three times. In Shuowen, crown is also a general term.
