Then separate a small section of hair a using rat-tail comb at the crown of your head. The parted section must be 2-3 inches thick and then secure it into a ponytail with an elastic hair band. Create hair donut with the ponytail and pin the donut to the head using bobby pins. Wrap your ponytail around the hair donut and then secure it using bobby pins which will serve as the base of the high roll.
