- Decide on the desired height of your ponytail. It can be high, mid-level, or low, depending on your preference and the look you want to achieve.
- Use a comb or your fingers to gather all of your hair at the desired position. Smooth out any bumps or lumps for a sleek finish.
- Secure the ponytail with a hair elastic. Make sure it is tight enough to hold the hair in place but not too tight to cause discomfort.

- If desired, use hairspray or styling products to tame any flyaways and add shine or hold to the ponytail.
