However, despite the huge variety, all Greek hairstyles have several similar features.

1. The first of them - the hair is not tied tight, not combed smoothly, they lie freely and whimsically.
2. Greek women preferred wavy strands or braids. On straight hair, it's difficult to make a Greek hairstyle. It's good that there are forceps, curlers and curlers now!
3. Greeks knowingly called "many-armed." Applied to women, this means that their hair is created from a variety of curly locks.
4. In general, the head of the Greek woman gave the impression of some negligence, although at times this "negligence" was very expensive.
5. Greek hairstyles are almost always decorated with ribbons, rims, diadems, flowers and other exquisite accessories.
