Other styles of chignons are the ''āmpomai'', common among males, which is similar to a regular pomai but worn on the top of the head, and the feminine ''pomāyon'' (lit. "two eggs", dual form of ''pomai''), which consists of two smaller buns on the two sides on the upper back of the head. ''Pomaidaṇḍai'' are however only worn with regular ''pomāye''.

The bald head style — called ''uspāras'' — is rare, and typically only found among certain monastic orders (but many of them prefer the ''pomai'') and in the West.

A typical braid of some areas of the central Plain is however the ''kamilañši'' ("around-braid"), which consists in a crown-like braid around the head.
