The word, an American invention, originally described a twisted piece of chewing tobacco that was thought to resemble a pig's curly tail. The hairstyle was first called pigtails in the mid-1700s.

The first use of the term pigtail was, of course, to refer to the tail of a pig.
By the mid-1600s, however, it had taken on the added meaning of tobacco twisted into a thin string.
From there, the term was used to describe a “plait or queue of hair hanging down from the back of the head,” especially for sailors and soldiers, in the late 18th and early 19th century.
The term used for one braid was then obviously applied to the hairstyle of two braids.

The term "pigtail" comes from the resemblance to a twisted roll of tobacco, which was called a "pigtail" from the 1680s, from "pig" and "tail".
The word "pig" is probably from Old English *picg, but its further etymology is unknown.
The older general word for adults was "swine", if female, "sow", if male, "boar".
Another Old English word for the animal was "fearh", which is related to "furh" "furrow", from PIE *perk- "dig, furrow".
The word "tail" comes from Old English "tægl", "tægel" "posterior extremity", from Proto-Germanic *tagla-, according to Watkins from PIE *doklos, from suffixed form of root *dek- (2) "something long and thin".

The term “pigtail” has been used as early as the 1600s, where it was used to describe a twist of chewing tobacco, particularly in the American colonies. Apparently, these tobacco leaves resembled the curly tails of pigs, and so the word stuck. Between the 17th century and 19th century, people started sporting hairdos that resembled these tobacco leaves and the term expanded to incorporate hair.
