[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming pigtails are braids - since apparently they can mean different hairstyles in other parts of the country - my guess is a lot of 2 year olds don’t have enough hair or thick enough hair yet. I do them sometimes on my 4 year old but her hair is slippery and they don’t stay in unless I do them when her hair is wet. Mostly we do two ponytails or variations on two ponytails. She has shoulder length hair and like another pp I won’t let her grow it longer for now because it gets so tangled as is. [/quote]

Two ponytails are pigtails.[/quote]

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

No, braids are braids. Pigtails are unbraided. Two ponytails is...nothing.[/quote]

How is an unbraided pigtail different than a ponytail?[/quote]

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

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

Then this was one of those things you were wrong about and never picked up on, probably because it isn't a word you would have used around other adults.

Two braids are pigtails.  You can have two ponytails or one, but two ponytails are unbraided bunches.
