the front of the hair was combed into a center part;
the long hair at the back was piled neatly in a bun on top of the head;

Greek-inspired dress styles and hair ornaments called sphendone and
wreaths. Women either used their own hair or false hair pieces to create
Apollo knots. Sometimes they decorated the front of their Apollo knots
with decorative combs.
