It has become popular for women to have some height or a "bump" on the top/back of her head while wearing a ponytail. There are two ways you can do this: Option 1: If you have thin hair, or want a "bump" on the top of your head, gently back-comb the hair on the top of your head and brush gently over the top to create some height and lift. 
Use Bump Up the Volume clip-in hair extensions to create lift and height on the top of the head as well as a thicker more voluminous ponytail.  Step #2 Gather all of the hair together at the nape of the neck on one side of the head. Don't pull the hair tight. A looser ponytail looks softer and more modern than a tight one.
Step #3 Use a coated elastic ponytail holder and pull the hair through the center of the elastic.
Step #4 In order to tighten the elastic so that it holds the ponytail in place, pull the elastic and flip it over - thereby creating another loop. Pull the ends of the ponytail through this loop.
Step #5 If the elastic is still not tight enough to hold the ponytail securely in place, repeat step 4 as many times as needed to get the elastic secure. Optional: Lightly mist with hairspray If you want a more formal looking ponytail that utilizes a spiral curl, Click best prom hair style to get directions.
