From the Wikipedia article
A ponytail is a hairstyle in which some, most, or all of the hair on the head is pulled away from the face, gathered, and secured at the back of the head with a hair tie, clip, or other similar accessory and allowed to hang freely from that point. The style gets its name from its resemblance to the tail of a pony.
