Did you know that Yaki hair falls under the kinky hair extension category? How intriguing is it to have hair made to mimic the two most eccentric textures of hair?
This guide will answer your curiosities.
By the time you finish reading, you'll feel confident and knowledgeable about everything you need to know about Yaki hair before making your first purchase.
The concept of the Yaki hair extension is to mimic the Afro-Caribbean texture of the hair when it is blow-dried, straightened, or relaxed.
This provides a more realistic and culturally resonant alternative to silky, straight hair extensions, especially for people with chemically straightened hair who want to add more volume, thickness, or length to their hair.
This bundle type can be coarse or wavy.
Types of Yaki Hair
You'll be pleased to know that there are various types of Yaki bundles to choose from, each offering a unique texture and style:
Yaki Silky Hair: As its name suggests, Yaki silky hair looks silky, straight, shiny, smooth, and soft. It resembles natural African-Caribbean hair that has been freshly flat-ironed and smoothened.
Straight Yaki Hair: Straight Yaki hair looks a lot like natural hair. It is less silky or poker-straight than Yaki's soft hair and looks a little coarse and rough, which gives it a lot more volume and texture.
Kinky Straight Hair: Kinky straight hair offers a kinky African-Caribbean texture that looks like it got a blowout. It looks unrelaxed and fluffy but tamer than kinky Yaki hair.
Yaki Perm Straight Hair: Yaki perm straight hair is a texture of Yaki hair that looks like permed African-Caribbean hair after a couple of weeks at the salon. It’s a cross between permed and straight hair.
How long does Yaki hair last?
It's one of the questions on every first-time buyer’s mind is to know their money’s worth.
With our opulent Yaki Straight Bundle Deals that can be elevated to a honey blond color #27 with lengths from 12” to 24”, your Yaki Straight hair Bundles last depending on how well you care for them.
With proper maintenance—which includes washing with a sulfate-free shampoo at least once every two weeks or five years, applying a moisturizing conditioner, sometimes skipping shampoo and opting for co-wash your extensions, making sure you're rinsing your bundles with cool water to lock in moisture, and avoiding heat.
Your Yaki Straight bundles can look brand new even after two years of purchase or longer.
How Many Bundles Do I Need for Straight Hair?
Another curiosity you may have with Yaki Hair is: How many bundles do I need for straight hair?
This can vary based on the length and style of hair you desire; shorter lengths may require fewer bundles while adding more to longer-length styles makes sense.
The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all, but generally, for a full head of straight Yaki hair, you’ll need about 3 to 4 bundles.
