pigtail braids

Paired woven strands

Pigtail braids are two braids worn on either side of the head, typically starting near the ears or at the nape.

The term combines pigtails (hair divided into two sections) with braids (hair woven in three strands).

Common on children, they also appear in adult fashion and costumes: She wore pigtail braids for the country music festival.
