For a sleek, polished look, I recommend using a round brush to blow out your hair.
Start at the roots and work your way down, using a heat protectant spray to prevent damage.
For a more undone look, try using a texturizing spray to add volume and texture to your hair.
And don’t forget to use a curling iron to add some subtle waves and movement to your braid.
When it comes to styling a fishtail braid, I always recommend starting with a small section of hair and gently pulling the strands to create a seamless braid.
To add some extra oomph to your braid, try using a hair serum to add shine and moisture to your hair.
And don’t forget to use a light-hold hairspray to set your style in place.
