【History Note of Court lady of the Southern Dynasties】

琼华随步响，幽兰逐袂生。 踟蹰理金翠，容与纳宵清。

Since the Han and Jin Dynasties, there has been a trend of "Tight top and fluffy bottom" in clothing silhouettes. The aristocratic women in the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties developed this fashion even more exaggeratedly. The skirts were fluffy and bulging, and the skirt waist was high;

In"Book of Jin·Five Elements/晋书•五行志" records:

“太元中，公主妇女必缓鬓倾髻，以为盛饰。用髲既多，不可恒戴，乃先于木及笼上装之，名曰假髻，或名假头。”至于贫家，不能自办，自号无头，就人借头。

【Translation】

"In Taiyuan Period（376-396）, Princesses, aristocrats, and women of the scholar-official class all wear wigs as the grandest attire/style,It was called“缓鬓倾髻”.

--- ※缓鬓:means loose hair on the temples ※倾髻:refers to the tilt hair bun ---- it need to use a lot of hair, and they can't be worn constantly. So,they just make a wooden frame, put the wig on it, and then wear it directly on the head, so it is called a "fake hairbun"or"fake head".

Therefore, "fake head" are often in short supply and very expensive. Girls from poor families can't afford fake buns, so they complain that they are "headless". In order not to lose face when attending important occasions, they had to ask someone to borrow it, saying that “I wanted to "borrow head".

---

Until the Southern Dynasties(南朝), this "缓鬓倾髻" hairstyle was getting more perfect, and was even bigger. It put a lot of wigs on the frame, make a tall ring hair bun, and put a "步搖/type of headpiece had dangling gold and pearl pieces which would sway back and forth as one walked." in the front as decoration, which looked magnificent and majestic; with bright face makeup such as “面靥、花子、斜红"etc., it was even more colorful.
