1

To give your hair some texture, spray it with Redken Wool Shake. Then brush it before styling.

2

Section off your hair from ear to ear, and create a half braid
(no more than four layers) to use as a base for your fishtail.

3

Stick your fingers into the top of the braid, making a hole, and loop the end of
your hair through that hole. Be sure to pull it tight.

Now, begin fishtailing your hair all the way down, securing the end
of your braid with a clear elastic hair tie.

Thanks for this!! Braids are the way to go, for sure. I've been trying not to use any heat on my hair, so braids are the perfect go-to style for me. Thanks for all these ideas.
