RAT TAIL
A rat’s tail (also “rattail”) is a hairstyle with a tail-like, thin tuft of hair growing down the back of the neck.
The “rat tail” refers to a hairstyle characterized by a long, thin strand of hair extending from the back of the head or nape of the neck. This style was particularly popular in the 1980s and early 1990s.
The rat tail is created by allowing a small section of hair at the back to grow longer than the rest, resembling a thin tail. The length of the rat tail can vary, but it is often a distinctive feature of the hairstyle.
While the rat tail was trendy during its heyday, it eventually fell out of fashion, and it is generally considered a style of the past. In contemporary times, you are less likely to see the rat tail as a popular or mainstream hairstyle. However, like many trends, it may occasionally be revisited for nostalgic or retro-inspired purposes.
