cute on anyone?




I used to wear pigtail all the times. For some reason I don't feel they compliment my face shape anymore or maybe because my hair has thinned out so much. I don't see many girls wearing them. I should bring them back!

From Wikipedia

A pigtail is another name for hair styled into a large braid that extends down or out from the head. In analogy to the ponytail hairstyle and the long, free-flowing tail of a horse, a pigtail is named for the visual resemblance of a thick, irregularly-tensioned hair braid to the kinked tail of a pig. A person's hairstyle may consist of one or more individual pigtails.
In some regional usages of English, pigtails are considered synonymous with a symmetric pair of hair bunches, regardless of whether each "bunch" is braided or left loose[citation needed]. This usage is not evident in American literature where one frequently finds references to "two pigtails" denoting two braids.
Styles:
There are numerous styles of pigtails a person may wear their hair in. They may be braided, straightened, beaded, ribboned, fishtailed, and even french braided. Pigtails can be placed on different parts of a person's head. The higher the pigtails the more childish look it gives. The lower pigtails give off a more conservative look.
