[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]

Wow. I am the PP who posted this and I knew they could mean different things but didn't realize the discussion would get so heated! FWIW I am from Philadelphia and we always understood pigtails to be braids. But I don't know if that's a Philly thing or just my family, as neither parent is from Philly -- one from NYC and one from Michigan.

Anyway, my 4 year old wears two ponytails most days. It's very fast and easy to do, they stay in better than one ponytail or braids, and she asks for them. Sometimes her preschool teachers do more elaborate braided hairstyles on her.

I can see why two ponytails might be called pigtails if they corkscrew. My daughter's hair doesn't do that, although mine does. I wear my hair in a single ponytail most days and if I put it back while still at all wet, it forms a single giant corkscrew. [/quote]
