Which tail style leaves the end portion full and uses curved shears to round the tip?

• A. Carrot Tail
• B. Pom-Pom Tail
• C. Ring Tail
• D. Brush Tail

Answer: (B)

The idea behind this style is to create a rounded, fluffy tip at the end of the tail by sculpting the very end with curved shears. Using curved shears lets you lift and shape the tip into a soft, ball-like finish, so the end portion reads as a full, distinct pom-pom rather than tapering away. This technique emphasizes a playful, rounded silhouette at the tail’s tip, which is exactly what the pom-pom tail aims for. Carrot tail would typically be trimmed to a pointed, tapered end rather than a rounded puff, so it doesn’t achieve that full, ball-like finish. Ring tail implies a ringed or circular outline rather than a rounded tip, which changes the overall look. Brush tail keeps more length and a natural, sometimes bristled flow, without creating the tight, rounded indulgence at the very tip that curved-shear rounding produces.
