Hey, womenfolk (or those of you menfolk who might know) what do you call that hair style where you have long, straight hair but you...uh, separate it. Not a braid, but a little thing on the back of your head that makes some of your hair fall differently from the rest, giving it a kind of two-tiered look. Usually the upper tier is smaller than the lower tier, and it falls down flat, eventually melding with the rest of the hair. Is that just a different kind of tail, or what?
Does anyone have ANY clue what I'm talking about? Because I think I just confused myself.

I have a NWN female wizard with that hairstyle. Don't know what its called though.

Yes, that's it Entropy. Though, what I was imagining had a thinner band to make the braid, so that the hair fell straighter instead of up into a round tail. However, you've got the idea of it there.
So, ladies, what do you call that?
-
may not be a name for it EUOL. I googled for female hairstyle databases and all the ones I saw didn't have a name linked to them, just descriptions.

The picture looks like a half-ponytail to me. You know, where the top part of the hair is gathered into a ponytail, which lies flat against the head and drops down to meld with the bottom layer, which lays flat.
-
Yes, what Brenna said. There's no name for it other than half-pony tail. You might just say "she pulled her hair away from her face." You can do the same thing with a barrette, rather than a ponytail holder/band.
-
I concur with both Brenna and MoD. Half-ponytail or "pulled back" from her face in a clip or barrette.
-
Alternatively, you could make up a name for it, since you make up lots of words in your books and it doesn't seem to have a name.

I think it's also called half-up. Not that different, I know.
