ponytail
word
Definition
A hairstyle where the hair is gathered and tied at the back of the head so that it hangs down like a horse's tail.
Usage & Nuances
Usually refers to hair tied at the back, not at the side or top. Common in both casual and sports settings. Not the same as a 'bun' (hair twisted into a round shape). 'High ponytail' or 'low ponytail' describe where it's placed.
