There is something intrinsically dreamy – and even noble – about ancient Greek hairstyles.

The elegance of the updos, the generous volume they create and the beautiful accessories which are often used to decorate the hair, make us dream about toga-wearing Olympian goddesses and wonder whether us mortals can ever look as magnificent.
