A ponytail that resembles a childhood watercolor
art set paintbrush. This ponytail usually exceeds NO MORE than 2" in length and, it is uneven and quite
stiff in nature due to the use and/or abuse of alkaline/lye/ammonium thioglycolate.....aka "PERM". Other chemicals that can contribute to this unpolished paintbrush look are the overuse of p-phenylenediamine, the main ingredient in most hair dye products, or hydrogen peroxide (aka "
bleach"). The wearer of a paintbrush ponytail has usually spent most of her
time trying her very best to catch every strand and
fly-away in order to tame the ponytail into something presentable to the public, but to no avail. After years of stress on the hair, the outcome is never favorable: snatched edges, permanently damaged hair follicles, maximum breakage, loss of
friends due to embarrassment.
Dude, have you seen your girl's hair??? She needs to
stop rocking that paintbrush ponytail and just go natural.
Wow.....look at that
woman's paintbrush ponytail . What a
shame. She would rather wear that sorry excuse for a hairstyle than cut it all off and start fresh.
