in my never ending search for braid tassel protection, lately this has been working great:
braid all the way to the very ends
take about a 12" piece of thick wool roving
starting approximately 4-5" from the braid end, wrap the roving around the braid
then braid it all together using the braid as one strand and the roving as the other two.
You'll run out of braid before roving which disappears paranda-style;
that's where I apply a smallish claw clip, leaving 2-3" of roving as tassel.
My roving is baby alpaca, full of lanolin, quite moisturizing and it matches my hair pretty well.
I also like the weight and "swing" the roving/claw provide.
