Line 382:

Buns and braids are two of the most characteristic hair styles among most Chlouvānem people — it is however to be noticed that Western Chlouvānem hairstyles are typically different from the rest of the nation and more like traditional Dabuke ones; Western Chlouvānem also have typically shorter but Afro-textured hair and many men carry turbans, thus having an impact on local hairstyle preferences.

Buns are probably the most common overall — the classic chignon, called ''pomai'' (literally "egg") has a particular charged traditional meaning, being a symbol of life, and is thus typically worn by both men and women; carrying a pomai on the upper back of the head with hairsticks called ''pomaidaṇḍa'' (pl. ''-ai'') is very common, particularly among strongly religious ~~man~~, and these hairsticks typically have a small piece of coloured cloth at one end with a ''našlejā'' (a sort of Yunyalīlti mantra) written on it.<br/>

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''.
