what is this style called?

[AlleyKitten]

Well, ok, mostly I want to show off this new-to-me style, because I'm super excited about it. But I'm sure it's got a name, and I figured one of you smart people will know it and can tell me! It's basically a knot, with the hair coming out pointed down, and it's held up by two big pins.

Thanks!

I call this the Juliet pony tail because the statue of Juliet supposedly from Romeo and Juliet in Verona (next to alleged balcony) has this hair style but going round a couple of times.

For some reason "bunnytail" is coming to mind... but I'm not positive on that.

i dont know but its cute!!!!:flowers:

I do the same pony but much higher up on my head. I hold it with a jaw clip or a Papermate pen.

It's my go-to for everything. It keeps it up but I still look like I have hair and it isn't as severe as a bun. It fans out nicely and makes a tail that reaches down below the collar of my shirts.

Whatever it's called it's super cute! I'm off to try it on myself right now, haha!

I've seen it called a "bunnytail" before. More because it's a bun/ponytail than because it looks like anything on a rabbit.

I love that style! I've never seen it before. I can't wait till my hair's long enough to do that. Pretty!

And it is also Viking. Not even kidding-- it's carved on some nice big boulders up in Scandinavia, among other Norse depictions of it. You're highly fashionable, circa, oh, about 1200. :) Isn't it comfy? There was a thread (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=27247)rolling around a while ago... We were trying to figure out the most secure way to do it.

Aack. That is... rather large.

I think it's gorgeous. I do it sometimes in the privacy of my own bedroom, but unfortunately I don't yet have the length to make it look good. The 'tail' bit is short and stumpy and ridiculous! :lol: I can't wait until it looks good on me. I didn't know it was Viking, Renbirde, how interesting!

I've always known them as odango knots. (regardless of where they're worn.) I've always secured them with a single hair elastic attached to the final pony tail and pushed inside the knot to hide it. I don't know why I never tried hair pins.:hmm:

goes off to try . . .

I've seen it called a "bunnytail", "knotted pony" and "ponybun" (although "ponybun" is also the name of another hairstyle that looks different from this.) I've got a photo in my albums here of one like this - it takes my thigh length back up to tailbone length in seconds (though I was barely at classic when I posted my photo and it only took me up to about waist or hip lol) :D And somehow I never have to use anything to hold it up, it just....stays.
