What is the "name" used for long hair,
to describe,
the "pony tail" style for men.
Have been told that there is a word,
"sounds like the word: Baroque"
that hair dressers and cutters,
they use it to describe a man's long
"pony tail" hair.
no joke, no pun, no cut-down.
Just trying to find the word.
Any ideas ??

I've never heard the word used to describe long "pony tails" but it is commonly used to describe a certain period in European history (esp. when discussing art) and long pony tails very well could have been considered the "fashionable" style for men's hair in or around this period. But in any case, if it's not Baroque don't fix it.

I guess "peruke" could sound like "baroque", but it's a wig. Here's the definition:
pe-ruke n.
A wig, especially one worn by men in the 17th and 18th centuries; a periwig. [French perruque, from Old French, head of hair, from Old Italian perrucca.]

maybe it's queue perhaps?
Yes, thanks to you guys I have found the name.
It appears to be PERUKE.
I got the first attempt from my hair dresser who
pronounced it like
BAROQUE or
BAR - ROOK.
So the word PERUKE seems to fit.
However,
I am thinking that there is still a word (words)
to describe a particular pony tail used by males.
I am thinking of a pony tail coming off the scalp,
into a long fist-siaed knot, maybe a long cylinder,
about 2 to 4 inchs, in a knot or a heavly braided
cylinder and then flowing free.
I am thinking that the men of France/Portugeuse or of
BASQUE would surly have a "male" name for their
pony tails.
Maybe something like BAROQUE/BAR-ROOK.
I am still partical to the baroque, because it
is often used to describe a rough gully/roll.
if you think of anything - let me know.
