You can do the top knot in a couple of ways; one is to use a spongy doughnut another is the sock method and the third is what is most likely seen above, and that is the half pony tail on top of your head. All you need to do is flip your hair upside down and create a half ponytail on top of your head, secure it with an elastic and then use the reaming hair to wrap around the elastic, fasten with bob pins or hair pins!!
