Twintails is a hairstyle where the hair is gathered into two ponytails, one on each side of the head.
The term comes from Japanese (ツインテール) and is most common in anime and manga contexts, where twintails often signal a youthful, energetic, or tsundere character type.
In Western usage, the style is more often called pigtails: She wore her hair in twintails like her favorite anime character.
