Bunches

Bunches

Bunches (also called angel wings) describe a hairstyle in which the hair is parted down the middle and gathered into two symmetrical bundles, secured near the scalp. The remaining lengths of hair can hang down loosely as ponytails or be braided into pigtails. In some English-speaking regions, this hairstyle is referred to as pigtails regardless of whether the hair is braided.

The style is popular among toddlers and young girls, and is sometimes also worn by teenagers and young women to emulate an innocent or rustic appearance.

International

* In Japan, hair bunches are called nihongo|twin tail|ツインテール|tsuin teeru. A popular variation is the odango hairstyle, in which each ponytail is partially coiled around its base to form a small bun from which which the remaining length hangs free.

* Tamil schoolgirls in India customarily wear their hair in a pair of long braids, with the end of each braid looped up and fastened to its base with red ribbon.
