Hello! Today we look at some of the countless ways people have thought of to shape, style, and sculpt their hair. Enjoy!
- Here are three common ways that girls and women arrange their hair by gathering and tying it up:
Ponytail - Gather hair and tie it at the back of the head so that it hangs loosely, like a horse's tail.
Braid - Gather hair, divide it into three parts, and twist each part over the other to make a rope-like pattern. Braid is both a noun and a verb.
Pigtails - Gather hair at both sides of head and either tie it, so that it hangs loosely, or braid. - 女性が髪の毛をまとめて結ぶ方法として、次の３つが代表的なものです。
ponytail - 髪をまとめて後ろで結んで下げる髪型で、丁度馬のしっぽのように見えます。
braid - 髪をまとめて、それを３つに分けて互いに絡ませ合いながら、編み上げる髪型です。braid は、動詞にも名詞にもなります。
pigtails - 髪を両端に分けて、それぞれを結んで下げるか、三つ編みにした髪型です。
- The cheerleaders were jumping up and down - their ponytails flying - shouting encouragement to the team.

I've tried many times to braid my daughter's hair for her, but it never looks like when her mother does it. - (a middle-aged woman)
When I was a girl, I used to wear my hair in pigtails.
That ends our pony-TALE for today.
