And that wasn't half of what I wanted to say! Boys would have worn pigtails, while girls would have worn buns. Two seperate pigtails or buns meant you were single, while one meant you were married/taken. To wear pigtails boys shaved their hair to the top of their head, and plaited the rest, so if you saw them from side on, it was like their forehead went halfway along to the middle of their scalp. Girls, instead, cut their fringe dead straight across their forehead.

Soi wears a bit of both styles. Her character is actually quite interesting to analyse, I just chose to do her hair this time

However I am not a professor in Chinese hairstyles, so I apologise if I have my facts wrong.

Yoruichi and Soi belong to Kubo Tite. Information on Traditional Chinese hairstyles of the early Qing dynasty were found here [link] The definition of a pigtail is here [link]
