Rattail (hairstyle)

Common card · No. 211001

A rattail is a hairstyle that is characterized by a long "tail"-like element of hair growing downward from the back of the head. The rattail usually hangs naturally; however, it can be braided, treated as a dread, permed, straightened, poofed, or curled with an iron. In some instances, an individual might choose to grow several tails as opposed to a single very long tail. A rattail is characterised by hair longer than the rest of the hair surrounding it. The rattail saw a brief period of mainstream popularity during the mid-to-late 1980s. By the mid-1990s, it had rapidly fallen out of fashion. However, it has recently seen renewed popularity.
