When a character has their hair collected into a pair of "bunches" at the sides of their head that stick out or droop down from the head. Pigtails come in a variety of lengths, widths, and how high or low on the head they are worn, which dramatically affects their visual appearance. Above are examples of varying styles of pigtails.

Pigtails are typically seen as a cute, girly, playful, and/or a youthful hairstyle, and most often worn by girls and younger women. When worn by males, pigtails may be a part of an effeminate look, or for comedic purposes.
