Chinese culture is one of the oldest in the world, who managed to preserve their traditions. Female hairstyle was an important part of the culture. Hairstyle determined family and social status, religious commitment.
Complicated hairstyles began to be made from about 14 years old, after the ceremony, which marked the transition of the girl to the status of a girl for extradition. The historical feature of the styling can be called their lightness and elegance.
Features
Chinese women paid much attention to their hair. Long, smooth hair was pride. Hairstyles girls showed their hair in all its glory. But women preferred to clean them completely. In texture, Asian hair is tough and has shades from dark blonde to charcoal black.
When creating hairstyles used a lot of jewelry. Now they are used exclusively as a decorative element, but until the mid-twentieth century, they pointed to the viability of the family and social status. As a shampoo used a soap solution of algae.
The time has passed, but even now Chinese women in large quantities use masks of plant origin and oils that make the hair obedient.
Traditionally and at the heart of modern hairstyles in the Chinese style is a bunch. To create more complex hairstyles use rollers, hairpins (decorative and regular). Do not forget about styling tools. Modern hairstyles in the Chinese style are universal. The same styling will be appropriate in the office, at a party or at a formal event.
Hairstyles are designed for long and medium length hair. Styling have a clear strict lines. Negligence, typical of European fashion, is not welcome here. Asians have a thin, elegant profile, so styling is done in an effort to emphasize this. Consider the features of your face when performing Chinese-style hair.
Styling nuances
Let us examine a few simple styling options. Modern hairstyles no longer have such complexity in the design. As a rule, these are hairstyles like bunches or non-standard braided braids decorated with pins. Before you make your favorite hairstyle, consider the type, stiffness and length of your hair. To make it easier, we introduce the classification of hairstyles by purpose:
- on every day;
- business style;
- to a formal event;
- on stylized events.
Daily hairstyles
The first version has quite a European roots, but is styled as an Asian hairstyle. This makes it both easy to perform and unusual. Technique performance is as follows.
- We brush all the hair on the top of the head and bend down so that all the curls are in a hanging position.
- From the neck to the back of the head we weave a back braid, picking up all the strands in that part of the head.
- On the crown, the spit “separates” from the head and is docked separately.
- Then you need to lay a braid in the form of a flower on the head and secure with pins.
- Hairstyle is ready. It remains to decorate it to your taste.
You can use sticks (they are fixed crosswise), decorative studs with pendants or hairpins with flowers.
The second option involves partially loose hair. Consider the execution technique.
- Combing hair and parting to the side.
- Our hairstyle will be located on the back of the head. To simplify the situation, we visually divide the hair in this part into 4 squares.
- We collect strands from the left squares to the middle and fix them with stealth. Then we form a small bundle of them.
- Strands from the right upper square are twisted into a loose bundle and laid around the bundle. Fix the studs.
- Strands of the lower right corner with the help of lacquer are laid over the beam, hiding it. Outwardly, it looks like a wave. Fix it with studs.
- To strengthen the hair and give it oriental shades, we supplement it with one decorative Chinese stick. Our hairstyle is ready. It remains to comb the remaining hair.
Business style
The same hairstyles that you can do in the office, to work. Such hairstyles have a predominantly classic look and do not allow loose, untidy hair. For the popular "Shell" you will need to do the following.
- Carefully comb the hair and collect in the tail approximately in the middle of the head.
- We take 2 Chinese sticks and by the method of winding we collect the whole tail. To do this, grab the tip of the tail with chopsticks, like a clip, and twist the hair. Watch to get an elongated roller. If everything is done correctly, the roller will fall into place of the tail.
- Fix the studs and varnish. We decorate a pair of decorative studs with pendants.
For the second option, we need a Chinese long hairpin, which works according to the clamping principle. Technique performance is as follows.
- Hair is carefully combed, parting is offset (use mousse or gel to keep styling).
- All strands and bangs are collected in the tail on the back of the head, with the preservation of the parting. On top of the gum (preferably small) is pinned with a barrette.
- Next, divide the tail into 2 parts and wrap the barrette and base of the tail with the resulting eight-type strands. Each turn is fixed with pins.
- Carefully remove the barrette, we pin it over the weave.
To the official event
This can be a concert, reception, or meeting in a restaurant. For the first option, we take the low beam as a basis. As decoration, we will use decorative hairpins in the form of birds and flowers. Technique performance is as follows.
- Our hairstyle is located closer to the neck. All curls with frontal and temporal parts need to be gently combed, leaving a small offset parting.
- Divide all hair into 3 equal parts.
- We form a tail from the middle part, which we transform into a bunch with the help of a small donut. Secure it with studs.
- The curls from the remaining two parts are casually laid around the base of the beam and on its top to hide what we have taken as a basis.
- Fix everything with varnish and studs. On the one hand, at the base of the beam we fix decorative flowers and a hairpin with a bird.
The second option is done like this.
- Our hairstyle is located on the back of the head. We comb there hair, without leaving a parting. To give volume on the top we place a special sponge there.
- Visually, we divide all hair into 3 parts: right, left and top (already cleaned).
- From the right side we form a bundle, like a shell (we make a tail, with a roller or sticks we twist it and fix it).
- We brush the left side to the shell and fix it with stealth. The tail is laid over the shell to hide it. Secure with studs. The rest of the tail curl with curling.
- You can decorate this hairstyle with chopsticks with pendants and strings of pearls.
At the stylized event
At such a party you need to come "fully armed." Variations of the beams will not get off. But this does not mean that the hairstyle should be difficult to perform. The main element will be the braid. We will need a set of two sticks and a comb (or a large bicuspid hairpin).
Technique such.
- We collect all the hair from the frontal and occipital parts of the high tail.
- We thread 2 sticks with pendants through the base of the tail so that the pendants are on all sides.
- Then divide the resulting tail into 8 equal parts.
- We will braid the braid as follows: take 2 strands of the tail and wrap them around the sticks on either side of the tail, the third strand will be from the left hair.
- Each pair of strands of tail (we have 4 pairs) must be symmetrically wrapped around the sticks and woven into the braid. It is necessary to weave the whole mass of hair. To make the design more stable, fix the strands with pins.
- The bottom of the braid can be laid as a flower.
- Fix the comb at the base of the tail to hide it.
The second option for a theme party is very simple. We need one Chinese hairpin.
Technique performance is as follows.
- We collect all the hair in the tail at the back of the head, but do not intercept the rubber band.
- Wrap the pin attached to the tail, on top. Then we wrap the pin again from the bottom.
- We remove the tip of the tail inside the resulting structure. Fasten small studs. We take out a large hairpin and perekalivaem it so that it is horizontal relative to the head.
How to decorate?
National jewelery in China has a long history. Each ruling dynasty had its own style and its "totem" image. For example, the Ming dynasty was remembered for providing a clear distinction between rank decorations. The emperor and the nearest circle wore dragons, while the empress and concubines had phoenix decorations. In addition, the style of jewelry differed depending on the province and family traditions.
Speaking generally, hairstyles were decorated with literally everything: fresh flowers, feathers, strings of pearls, pendants, decorative pins, scallops and large bifurcated pins, ribbons, tiaras, hairpins, web of precious metals, crowns and carved from bones and stones. All this can be used to create hairstyles today.
A variety of jewelry will make the hair original and feminine. And innovative materials will greatly facilitate its weight.

In the traditional Chinese wealthy family, girls are necessarily taught dancing. It was not just art within the home. There were colorful competitions between dancers. Then the best girls danced on holidays for the emperor. Thus, dance was a peculiar way for a family to show a girl. Accordingly, several different requirements were made to the hairstyles. They were simpler, safer and more durable.
