What is a Ponytail?

A ponytail is a hairstyle where some or all of the hair on the head is pulled away from the face, gathered, and secured at the back of the head with a hair tie, clip, or similar accessory. It gets its name because it resembles the tail of a pony. Ponytails are commonly worn in the middle of the back of the head or at the base of the neck, but they can also be worn on the side or at the very top of the head. If the hair is divided into two sections, they are called ponytails, twintails, pigtails, or bunches when left loose, and pigtails, plaits, or braids when plaited. The ponytail hairstyle has ancient origins, with depictions found in ancient Greek artifacts and artworks.

What are bangs?

Bangs, also known as a fringe in British English, are strands or locks of hair that fall over the forehead, usually just above the eyebrows. They cover the front hairline and can vary in length. While most people cut their bangs straight, they can also be shaped in an arc or left ragged ¹. Whether you’re going for a classic look or something more trendy, bangs can add style and frame your face beautifully.
