Long sidelocks that are tied back to join a (possibly unseen) hair bun or ponytail at the back of the head. If pulled straight back and taut they don't qualify as being sidelocks, so some amount of slack is required, such that they drape in a U-shape on either side of the head.
If only one sidelock is tied back, see asymmetrical hair.
