Twintails are a type of hairstyle and a moe point in ACG subculture.

Introduction

Twintails are usually more common among teen girls or children, and are rare among adults.

There are many kinds of twintails. Long straight twintails simply tied with a ribbon or rubber band are the most common.

In addition, there are also upturned twintails, curly twintails, and super long twintails. It also includes pigtails, double braids, and twin drills.

Due to the position of the twintails, the visual effect is that the head is larger and the face is smaller, which is more in line with the structure of a young child. The waying when walking looks particularly dynamic. So many people think that twintails are a symbol of moe. There is also a saying that human beings like protruding "animal ears" on both sides of the head.

When there is short hair, the amount of hair required to tie twintails on both sides of the head is less than the single ponytail which gathers all the hair in one place. It can also gather more broken hair, which is relatively easy, and it can appear to have more hair volume.

In the ACG world, one type of female character with twintails is the childish one, such as Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon. The other type is the adult type.

In Japanese, because the pronunciation of "twintail" is similar to the pronunciation of "tsundere", there is also a humorous saying that "twintails are the basis of tsundere". Indeed, there are many characters with twintails that are tsundere, but of course there are exceptions.

Special form: Super long twintails

Super long twintails are a composite attribute of super long hair and twintails, which refers to twintails whose hair length is signifcantly longer than that of ordinary long hair.

It is a very popular hairstyle that combines the cuteness of twintails with the fantasy, romance and unrealistic beauty of super long hair.
