Oh, and in my househld, growing up, two pony tails high on the head on the sides were called "Buffies" or "Buffy-tails", from Buffy in Family Affair(??) This is hw I wore my hair most often in 1st grade.

I'm old as dirt and wear pigtails.
The girl who's had short hair her whole life has no opinion, unsurprisingly.
I still think (unsurprisingly) that I am right, because pigs' tails are short and ponies' tails are long. See, very logical!
I tend to use Steph's definition too.
I also will 'fess up to wearing my hair in pigtails on occasion. Oh. Well.
One=pony
Two or more=pig
braided hair=braid
I wore pigtails when I felt like it up until my late 30s. Looked good, too.
That's one thing I miss about longer hair, pigtails. I remember seeing the Buffy ep when she wore them doubled up, with the ends sticking out, and I was all "OMG GENIUS SUMMER HAIR" and it immediately became my go-to exercise hair.
My hair is too short now for pigtails, but I wore them and still would when inspired. When I ran and wore a hat, I loved pigtails, low, because I could still wear a hat (like Jilli said, but a baseball cap).
Grace wears her hair in pigtails almost every day, but I guess that doesn't count.

I am amused at how many of us wear our hair in pigtails. Although I am beyond Scrappy's cut off date. I hope I don't have to stop wearing them. So useful for exercise especially.
Of course, given that I usually wear them for exercise or running errands, pigtails are fairly dissociated from "sexy" in my personal lexicon.
