This is for East Asian hairstyles in general but idk where else to ask this(and this does include traditional Chinese fashion): How much of women’s (or men’s though I would guess mostly women) hairstyles was composed of wigs? Feel free to just answer this in relation to Chinese hairstyles specifically if answering for any others deviates too much from the blog purpose.

Hi! Thanks for the question, and sorry for taking ages to reply!

Historically, it was quite common for Chinese women to use wigs to create their hairstyles, as many historical hairstyles were not meant to be done with real hair -- although I don't know the specific percentage of women who did so. Wigs became prevalent in China starting from the Spring and Autumn period (771-476 BC) when they were popularized by upper-class women, and were widely used by women until the 20th century, when hairstyles became simpler. Wigs could be made from real human or animal hair, other fibers, paper, or wood.

The following posts/links discuss wigs in Chinese history in more detail, please check them out!:

As for men, they typically put their hair into a bun and encased it in some kind of covering (cloth, hat, cap, headdress), so there was no need for them to use wigs. However, as I explained in this post, some men would insert a wig/towel/other material inside their hat/cap to give it more structure.

To this day, wigs/hairpieces/extensions are necessary and commonly used in creating traditional Chinese hairstyles.

For more information and references, please see my wigs tag for all posts related to wigs and hairpieces.

If anyone has more info on this topic, please share! ^^

Hope this helps! (image via)

Top 3 Haircuts & Styles Requested by Men in Their 20's

Navigating the trending tides of men's hairstyling can be quite the adventure, but there's no need to sail the high fashion seas alone. For men in their 20's, staying sharp and on-point means rocking a hairstyle that makes a statement while affirming their individuality. We've lined up the top 3 haircuts that have been drawing all the style-savvy gents to the barber's chair, along with expert tips to keep your mane game at its peak.

Low Fade

The Low Fade starts with a subtle trimming that gradually ‘fades’ into your skin. It's a versatile look that embodies both sophistication and edge. To nail this style:

Style with Substance: Use a high-end pomade or wax to elicit texture and hold, steering clear of the undesired greasy look.

Tools of the Trade: Style the top section with a comb for a sleek look, or simply run your fingers through your hair for a more relaxed vibe.

Faux Hawk

No need to go full Mohican to channel that rebellious spirit. The Faux Hawk combines punk flair with everyday wearability:

Volume Up: Kick-off with a strong-hold gel or matte clay on damp hair then bring in the blow dryer to amp up the volume.

Shape it Right: Once your hair is dried, sculpt the quintessential Faux Hawk shape using your fingers for that personal touch.

Slick Back

Think classic, think Slick Back. For modern-day 'Mad Men' who want to look effortlessly dapper, this style is an all-time favorite:

Sleek without Sheen: Reach for a water-based pomade or a light-hold gel for slickness minus the oil-slick look.

Brush & Blow: Comb your hair back while it's still damp, blow-dry in the direction you styled, and secure this timeless look with a dab of pomade for Stay Stylish, Stay You

Each of these sought-after haircuts offers room for adaptation and personal expression, so while you're following the general styling advice, don't forget to tweak it to fit your unique identity and preferences.

In wuxia I see that they have half their hair up and the other half down. Is there a certain period where this hairstyle directs from?

Hi, thanks for the question, and sorry for taking ages to reply!

The half-up, half-down hairstyle that you often see on both male & female characters in Chinese guzhuang (period costume) dramas is not based on historical hairstyles. Rather, it is a fairly recent styling convention, most likely originating from late 20th century wuxia TV shows from Hong Kong (x). Over time the hairstyle has become normalized and commonplace in Chinese costume dramas, especially in the wuxia and xianxia genres (because these genres are not necessarily aiming for historical accuracy in the first place).

Below, from left to right: Wang Hedi in Love Between Fairy and Devil, Deng Wei in Miss the Dragon, Xiao Zhan in The Untamed, Gong Jun in Word of Honor:

As @niteshade925 explains in this post, for male characters, the main idea of the hairstyle is to make the character look attractive, and also in some shows/context, to hint at the character’s personality, as in maybe they do not adhere to traditional customs and are free-spirited/spontaneous. For female characters, it is usually just a regular hairstyle without deeper meaning :P

For more information on this half-up half-down hairstyle, and historical hairstyles in general, please see the following posts:

Hope this helps!
