Are you sure that you want to make a tail ball? That's kind of old style, now it's more just some backcombing and poofing. At least at the shows I go to.

You just tease the inside of the switch, leaving the outer layer of hair to pull down over the outside to kinda hide the poofy, teased hair. You'll want to first trim the switch a little to make it look neater and not all bushy. I don't like em to look too long or heavy...you don't want to cut it the switch off too short either. It should definitely be below the hocks.

Like he said, have someone else (if possible) hold up the outside of the hair, tease/backcomb all the rest and use a bunch of glue, then let down the outer hair, and with the help of lots of glue, shape the outer hair into a sort of tear dropped shape covering up the teased hair.  Make sure to use lots of glue on the bottom so the hair doesnt fall out and sort of hang there.
