"A rattail is a haircut that is characterized by a long "tail" of hair growing from the back of the head. It saw a notable phase of popularity during the 1980s but can still be seen today, albeit in a rarer form. While the rattail has been worn by both genders, this haircut is observed most commonly in males. The individual with a rattail typically has his or her hair cut short all over their head except for a few strands in the back that are left to grow out.
The rattail usually curls naturally; however, it can be braided, treated as a dread, permed, straightened, or curled with an iron. In some instances, an individual might choose to grow several tails or grow a single tail very long."

This morning I realized that my tail was just about a year old and really I don't need to carry around that much old stuff. Also I've got this little baby tail with a curl on the other side that is totally spring time fresh and needed some attention so I cut off big momma and that was that.
You could totally injure someone with that!
This is me when I first had my rattails:
This is Ms Tracey Campbell sporting a skinnier rattail and mustache snippet and some fresh steps:
So I guess you should just send me all your fresh pix and we can catalog the resurgence of the tail. Also welcome are steps, underbraids, curls, bald spots, mullets, bowl cuts, whatever. These are the hairiest years of all, babies!
