It can be said that wearing hair is the earliest hairstyle of human beings. At the beginning of life, people always wear hair. At that time, the hair was not beautiful, and people all knew that the hair that was combed smoothly would give people a neat feeling.

There are two forms of hair hanging, one is to let the hair hang naturally and tie a hair band around the forehead and back of the head; The other is to cut the top hair at the front into short hair like the forehead. Wearing a hair band and cutting your hair short are all to prevent your hair from becoming dazzling.

Braided hair

There are many ethnic women who still wear braids, some of which are customs handed down from ancient times; Some of them are combed out after being influenced by ethnic groups.

China has a long history of combing women's hair. With the appearance of human aesthetic consciousness, people in the Neolithic age began to comb their messy hair, and some even cut off their long hair. Some are tied with hair bands; Others braid their hair. On the Neolithic painted pottery basin in Shangsunjiazhai, Datong County, Qinghai Province, there is a scene where everyone steps on a song hand in hand, and everyone has a braid hanging on his head.

Tie a bun

A bun is a bun made by putting the hair together and winding it around the top of the head, the 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".

From the Neolithic hairpin phenomenon unearthed in various places, we can know that primitive ancestors who lived five or six thousand years ago had already done it on the bun. Women of Han nationality in China have always liked to wear their hair in a bun. In Anyang, Henan Province, there are Shang Dynasty women figurines with dished heads. The woman on the silk painting unearthed from the Chu tomb in Chenjiadashan, Changsha, Hunan, combs her spine behind her head. Women's hairstyles on silk paintings unearthed from No.1 Han Tomb of Mawangdui in Changsha, Hunan Province, and women's wooden figurines unearthed are all bun. Women's bun in Sui Dynasty is called "wandering bun". In the Tang Dynasty, women still wore a bun. Many women in the murals of Princess Yongtai's tomb, as well as the women in the silk paintings unearthed from the Tang Tomb at Astana 187 in Turpan, Xinjiang, all wear hair bun. Women in Qing Dynasty tied their hair behind their heads. In the past, Han girls had more buns than the sides of their heads.

Shave off one's hair

Throughout the ages, people have always thought that women's hair is as beautiful as a cloud. As we all know, there are still some ethnic groups in the world who regard female baldness as beauty. Many ethnic groups in our country also have the custom of female shaving. Shaving is also called beard. In the old days, Manchu girls left a pinch of hair at the back of their heads, braided it at the back of their heads, and shaved all the rest until they reached adulthood. According to Korean custom, girls should comb their ears with short hair and shave their necks before they are underage.
