pigtail

Schoolgirl's side braid

A pigtail is a braid or束 of hair hanging from the head.

In American usage, pigtails usually means two braids or ponytails, one on each side: She wore her hair in pigtails.

British usage may refer to a single braid.

The word extends to anything twisted or coiled like a braid: a pigtail connector in electrical work, or the curly tail of a pig itself.
