While lots of women love their flatiron, favor fancy updos or step out in headwraps, I wear pigtails. Yes, pigtails. And oh yeah, I’ll be 40 in six months.
This post may contain affiliate links*Now before ladies think my pigtail-wearing confession is some kind of 40-going-on-12 life issue, it’s not. (Although I have been known to hop on the children’s duck ride outside of supermarkets, but I digress).
Let me assure people that my pigtails don’t sprout from the top of my head, a la my first day of kindergarten or as if I’m trying to get my NCIS Abby on. It’s not about that so-called “sexy” wig-n-lollipop Halloween costume nonsense either. I just like ’em, plain and simple.
So, how do I wear pigtails? Loose and low and (I think) cute. To me, they’re feminine, adorable and have a sense of fun-loving spirit. Plus, with the right elastic band, my low pigtails can go from uber romantic to mod in a heartbeat.
From a convenience standpoint, pigtails a great way to keep wisps of hair off my face when I’m at the gym, cleaning the house or running from my car to the mall to get in on the latest shoe sale.
Sure, ponytails do the same thing, but pigtails add an unexpected hairdo charm that I really enjoy.
