Pigtails are a timeless hairstyle worn by both women and girls of all ages. From infants to the elderly, people of all ages have donned this look. If you have enough hair, it’s simple to put on and appropriate for various settings. This hairstyle is suitable for adults and teenagers and can be worn for any occasion. It’ll transform your hair from drab to fab in one fell swoop!
Pigtail braids are a great way to experiment with a new hairstyle or see how short your hair would look in a unique style. If your hair is short or you’ve grown tired of your long locks, pigtail braids may be the answer. All hair can be braided, allowing you to experiment and find the style that works best for you. This article will go over how to do pigtail braids and why they’re so flattering.
1. High-Pigtail Hairdo
High pigtails are the most basic and most common way to wear pigtails. It’s the simplest of all, and it’s also the simplest to achieve with no hair. To create two long, thin pigtails, split the hair in half and part it down the middle. It is possible to wear them with or without a headband, depending on personal preference. Some people prefer to slick them back for a sleeker look, but headbands keep them in place during physical activity.
2. Low Pigtails
This is the next step up from the high pigtails. This style requires a little more hair and a little less elbow grease. The hair is divided into two thin bunches, which are then wrapped around small ponytail holders and then pulled back for a low ponytail.
3. Pigtail Buns
This look necessitates far more hair and effort than the others. Hair is braided into tiny sage buns and then styled in this manner. Aside from that, the buns are left in place for as long as the hair grows out of shape or is snatched from the head entirely. Fine or thin hair is best suited for this style as any hair trapped between the bobby pins must be removed before any severe damage is caused.
4. The Double Top Knotted Pigtail Bun
Not a style, but rather a guide on developing the next big thing in hair fashion. If you’d rather not wear pigtails, make a top knot out of two strands of hair and wrap the ends around it until they meet in the middle. Extra height can be achieved by tying two short pieces together in the middle. Instead of spending 30 minutes tying your hair up in pigtails because you have no idea what to do with it, opt for this look.
5. Short Hair Dutch Double Pigtails
An ombré or balayage-inspired updo that lifts and highlights the dyed hair is ideal. If you’re looking for a new twist on braids, this hairstyle with Dutch pigtail braids is an excellent option.
Dutch braids are as sexy as they appear, but when done in pigtails, they look even better. A French braid is all you need to pull off this hairstyle. Make a Dutch braid by dividing your hair into two sections and starting the braiding process. Your Dutch pigtails can now be tied in an elastic band at their desired length.
6. Ladder Pigtail Braids
There are a few drawbacks to the Chinese ladder snake braid: It’s difficult to style in dry hair and uncomfortable wearing. The pigtails look best when they’re styled with damp hair.
7. Knotted Pigtail Braids
Some days, you don’t feel like spending a lot of time on your hair. The knotted pigtail braid will save your dull and lazy hair days. Divide the hair into two sections and secure with an elastic band. Then, tie the hair into knots and braid the sections together.
8. Bubbles Pigtail Braids
The bubble braid is a classic and fashionable addition to the braid styles with long blonde hair. Create two ponytails off the sides of your head, then pull the rest of your hair back into a thin high ponytail in the middle. To create two bubbles on either side of your head, twist the braid into a tight knot and loop it over your head. Hair clips or bobby pins are then used to secure the ends of the hair back down and out of the way.
9. Fishtail-Pigtail Braids
Fishtail-Pigtail Braids are also included in this list.
Keeping your hair out of your face is made simple with a fish braid pigtail. Hair is divided into two long sections, one for each half of the “fishtail,” to create this style. In the next step, the piece in front is looped and twisted back to the middle of the back piece. It will be done in no time if you turn in the part three times.
10. Pigtail Braids in Rainbow Colors
This hairstyle features rainbow-colored pigtail braids inspired by the beauty queen, Kylie Jenner. The luxury and grace that this hairstyle lends to your appearance are apparent. Wear it on either side or switch it up.
11. Pigtails with Ribbons
This is a new hairstyle that has taken the fashion world by storm. A simple style, but one that must be done before washing your hair if you want to achieve the best results. First, part your hair on either side of your head into two sections. Wrap a thin ribbon around the right side of the piece until there are only about three inches left.
Elegant and stunning braided pigtails with a ribbon are the perfect way to add a little sparkle wherever you go. The braided ribbon in the hair is a visual delight.
12. Dutch Pigtail Braid
Due to the bun’s small size, fine or thin hair is best suited for this style. Put one-inch wide sections at the ends of both of your long hair strands, to begin with. To keep things simple, tie a knot at the top of your head where you’ve divided your hair. After that, divide the left-side piece into three equal parts (if you have thinner hair, you may only have to use two). Each section should be twisted into a tiny loop or knot, then you’re done. Repeat the process on the other side of your head as long as you like.
13. Box Braids

14. Twists Braided Pigtails
If you’re pressed for time but still want a stylish look, this quick, flirty, and carefree hairstyle is for you. You don’t need any styling knowledge to pull off this effortlessly cool hairstyle. Make two sections of your hair by dividing them in half, then twist the two sections together. Long or medium-length hair will look great in these pigtail braids.
15. Curly Pigtails
It’s a fairly straightforward design. Make two equal-sized pigtails by slicing your hair in half. Then, using a bobby pin, secure each end of the pigtail by twisting it once around the pin. To keep the braid in place, tuck the remaining loops into the braid. You can try to make curly pigtails for your own by these easy steps
16. Pigtail with the Zig-Zag Part
This is a trendy and easy-to-follow design. After you’ve washed your hair, section off a three-inch-wide area of the top to create a middle section and then divide the remaining hair into two equal sections, you’ll then divide the center piece into three equal sections and cross each area over the other.
17. Pigtails with a French Braid
This hairstyle has been around for a long time and is very simple to do. It’s best to put your hair in a ponytail and tie it loosely at the top section on the right-hand side. Tuck one piece of hair under the other and divide the hair in half to the right of your ponytail. Pull your remaining hair over the braid, and you’ll have a black french braid at the end.
