Cucuk sanggul is one of the important accessories for the hair. Usually, Nyonyas will keep their hair up to waist length. The hair would then be tied up into a bun, secured by hairpins, and some decorated with flowers. Nyonyas from Malacca and Singapore wore their hair buns or sanggul normally with three, five or seven hairpins, each in graduating lengths, called the cucuk sanggul.
