Learn More About The Ponytail Drawing
A ponytail is a hairstyle in which all or some of the hair is secured at the back of the head. It is so named because it resembles the shape of the tail of a pony or horse. Today, ponytails are most often worn by women and girls, but they are sported by some men as well.
The ponytail may be a fashion statement or a utilitarian hairstyle. For example, it keeps the hair out of the face while exercising or playing sports. It can keep hair from becoming dangerously entangled in machinery while working or keep it from falling into a food preparation area.
Images of women wearing ponytails can be found in ancient Greek artifacts, and European art has included the hairstyle for centuries. In parts of Asia, the wearing of ponytails by men was mandatory hundreds of years ago.
During the 1700s and 1800s, European men often tied their hair back with a ribbon, a style known as a queue, which means "tail" in French. This, two, was mandatory for soldiers in certain armies.

In the mid-twentieth century, the advent of the Barbie doll and beach culture films such as Gidget increased the ponytail's popularity among women. Rock stars during the 1980s promoted the ponytail among men.
Different styles of ponytails go by different names. If two ponytails are worn, the hairstyle may be called pigtails, dog ears, or bunches. If braided, they are referred to as plaits or braids.
