* Wavy/Crimped Texture: The most noticeable effect would be waves or crimps throughout the hair, mimicking the pattern of the braid. The tightness and length of time the braid was in would affect how defined the waves are.
* Volume: Braids tend to stretch the hair as it's secured, so taking it out can create a bit of extra volume, especially at the roots.
* Less Tangles: Braiding helps to keep the hair bundled and minimizes tangles, so removing the braid may result in hair that is easier to comb through than it would have been if left loose.
* Slightly Frizzy: Depending on the hair type and how gently the braid is removed, there might be some slight frizziness, especially if the hair is prone to it.
* Defined Sections: Because a fishtail braid separates the hair into two sections, you may notice that these sections still want to separate from each other for a while after the braid is removed.
