Two ponytails are pigtails.

No. Pigtails are braids and ponytails are unbraided bunches (the clue is that ponytails look like...ponytails).

How is an unbraided pigtail different than a ponytail?

There are two of them. A ponytail is a single, thicker fall of hair. Pigtails are two smaller ones.

Wikipedia:

"In the context of hairstyles, the usage of the term pigtail (or twin tail or twintail) shows considerable variation. The term may refer to a single braid, but is more frequently used in the plural ("pigtails") to refer to twin braids on opposite sides of the head. For some people, the term "pigtails" applies whether or not the hair is braided,[1] but there is not widespread agreement on this (in places where this usage is common, unbraided pairs are called doggie ears or bunches and a single bunch, regardless of position on the head, is called a ponytail)."

Personally, I've lived in the UK and the US, and pigtails have always been two braids.

Pigtails are more than one, ponytail is one bunch of hair. Like the back of a pony.

It's not widely understood that way.The majority of people will understand pigtail to mean braided hair.

Not in any part of the country I've lived in and I've lived in the south, midwest and west coast.

I do two braids frequently for middle DD who is 5.

I have done 2-5 ponytails when my oldest DD was 2-3 years old, when she went through a phase of requesting them. Yes, 5 ponytails looks silly, but she was pleased at the time.

NO. You are mistaken. You can have one or two ponytails. They are called that because they look like...pony tails. Pigtails are braids because pig tails, unlike the tails of ponies, are narrow and not made up of long, loose hair. You really are wrong about this.

So why does a magazine like Cosmo have such a different definition?

A ponytail only looks like a ponytail because it is thick and singular. Pigtails are thinner, as you say, since you are dividing the hair in two, but it has nothing to do with braids.
