There are many names of Tang women's hair buns recorded in various documents, including cloud buns, maid buns, snail buns, double hanging buns, black buns, triangular buns, and ebuns. The Tang Dynasty writer Duan Chengshi also pointed out in his article "Bun Hair":

Tang Gaozu sometimes had a half-turned bun and an anti-bun; In the palace of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there were double-ringed fairy buns, Uighur buns, abandoned buns, and fallen buns.

The characteristics of the era of the hairstyle of the female figurines of the Tang Dynasty are distinct and prominent. From the unearthed red and white pottery figurines and the hairstyles of the three-color figurines, it can be summarized into three hairstyles: upper comb, flat comb, and lower comb. These hairstyles just reflect the process of the Tang Dynasty's transformation from prosperity to decline.

In the early days, the hairstyle was combed, showing a positive and healthy beauty, which corresponded to the waste waiting to be revived in the early Tang Dynasty; The mid-term flat comb hairstyle shows a thick and plain mature beauty, corresponding to the "Zhenguan Rule" and "Kaiyuan Shengshi" of the Tang Dynasty; The late down-combed hairstyle conveys a kind of loose and lazy morbid beauty, corresponding to the decay of the late Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, women's hairstyles included half-turned buns, reverse buns, Leyou buns, sorrowful buns, lily buns, hoof buns, panhuan buns, changing ring-looking fairy buns and various mustache styles. In general, the Sui Dynasty hair style is relatively simple, with few changes, generally a flat-topped style, and the hair is piled up in layers, like a hat. In the early Tang Dynasty, there was still this hairstyle of combing, but the top was not as flat as in the Sui Dynasty, and there was a tendency to be tall, and most of them were made into cloud shapes.

By the time of Taizong, the bun was getting higher and higher, and the forms were becoming more and more abundant.
