Pigtails, or “twin tail” as it’s called in Japan, is a hairstyle typically seen on cute little girls. However, “twin tails” are making a comeback in Japan and women of all ages are enjoying the adorable double-ponytail style. The pigtail hairstyle has gained so much popularity that it has even inspired the creation of a national association.
On November 11, The Pigtail Association of Japan will release an entire photo album dedicated to cute girls wearing their hair in pigtails. The album, titled “Sunny Day and Twin Tail” contains 204 full-color pages and will be sold for 2520 yen (US $31.70).
