Long Twintails Hairstyles | BlondeFilter AI Hairstyle Try-On

Long twintails—high or low ponytails worn on both sides of the head—have moved from anime and cosplay culture into everyday fashion. In 2025, they’re showing up in street style, festivals, concerts, and social media feeds as a playful yet surprisingly versatile hairstyle. With the right cut and styling, long twintails can feel cute and youthful without looking costume-like.

This guide breaks down how to wear long twintails in a modern way, how to adapt them to your face shape and hair type, and how to preview different twintail looks on your own face using BlondeFilter’s AI hairstyle filter.

What Are Long Twintails?

Long twintails are simply two ponytails—usually positioned symmetrically on either side of the head—with enough length to fall past the shoulders. Unlike short pigtails, long twintails showcase length and movement, often combined with face-framing pieces, bangs, or color accents.

They can be styled:

• High and playful near the crown
• Mid-level for a balanced, everyday look
• Low and romantic near the nape

Long twintails are especially popular in K‑beauty, J‑fashion, and anime-inspired aesthetics, but they can be toned down for more subtle, wearable versions.

Who Do Long Twintails Suit?

Long twintails can work for many face shapes and personal styles if you adjust the height, volume, and add-ons like bangs.

• Round faces: Slightly higher twintails with volume at the crown and longer face-framing pieces can elongate the face.
• Oval faces: Most placements work; focus on whether you prefer a softer or more dramatic mood.
• Heart-shaped faces: Twintails paired with soft bangs or curtain fringe help balance a wider forehead and narrower chin.
• Square faces: Loose twintails with soft, wavy lengths and layered face-framing pieces can soften strong angles.

If you’re nervous about looking too “cute” for your personal style, you can balance the hairstyle with more structured clothing or minimal makeup. Virtual try-on is ideal here—you can see how twintails change your vibe before experimenting in real life.

Styling Ideas for Long Twintails

Classic High Long Twintails

High twintails sit near the crown and immediately read as energetic and fun. They show off the full length of the hair and create a lifted silhouette that looks great in photos.

Styling tips:

• Part hair down the middle and secure each side into a high ponytail.
• Wrap a small section of hair around each elastic to hide the bands.
• Keep lengths sleek or softly waved depending on the look you want.

Soft Low Long Twintails

Low twintails near the nape feel more romantic and subtle. They’re easier to wear in everyday life and pair well with soft waves or light texture.

This version works especially well for date nights, outdoor events, or anytime you want a feminine, understated twintail look.

Textured Festival Twintails

For festivals or concerts, play up texture and accessories:

• Add loose waves or curls through the lengths.
• Incorporate braids into the base or through the ponytails.
• Use ribbons, scrunchies, or clips to match your outfit.

Long Twintails & Hair Type

Straight hair
Straight hair gives twintails a clean, graphic look. Use a smoothing serum or shine spray on the lengths and keep the roots controlled so the style feels intentional, not messy.

Wavy hair
Wavy hair adds natural movement and softness. Embrace the texture with a light curl cream or sea salt spray and let some pieces fall out around the face for an effortless feel.

Curly hair
Curly long twintails are bold and eye-catching. Keep the base neat and let curls explode through the lengths. A curl cream or gel can define the pattern without making it crunchy.

Accessories That Elevate Long Twintails

• Ribbons and bows for a feminine, classic look
• Scrunchies in velvet or satin for a nostalgic 90s feel
• Statement clips or barrettes for extra sparkle
• Colorful elastics for casual, playful outfits

Small accessory choices can dramatically change the mood of long twintails—from soft and romantic to bright and street-style bold.
