The answer depends largely on the following factors:

- Which dynasty or time period of Chinese history are you asking about? China has 4000 years of history, only the last 100 years have been recent.

- Male or female

- Adult or child (adults and children had different hairstyles to signify age and social role in society).

- Occupation (different hairstyles to indicate class and job).

But in general most of the Western world is familiar only with the topknot, braid, and hair buns.

The topknot is usually for a man (but has sometimes been stylized for women as well) . It is basically a knot or bun on the back of your head.

Women generally had a series of small loops and knots that create a sort of "crown" for the head, held in place with many elaborate pins.

Braid---to do it in a more traditional Chinese style, it is a singular braid that hangs on the back of the head, tied with a colourful sash.

Hair buns---tie two pig tails on either side of the head, and wind it up into a bun shape, secure with a pin. Or gather the hair on either side of the head, and twist into a bun shape, tie.
