All About Yaki Hair

(Yaki) is a hair texture that is designed to look and feel like African American Hair (Black Hair) that has been through a processing to make their own hair straight. This processing is called relaxing. Though the hair can come in a straight form, it is not design for Caucasian or other nationalities of non-African decent.

There are 4 types of Yaki hair textures some people may refer to differently

Silky Yaki/ Light Yaki/ Yaki Straight

This type of Yaki is very close to the silky straight hair but if you look closely you can see the Yaki/ micro kink in the hair. This type of Yaki looks like African American's hair after it has been freshly relaxed and flat-ironed bone straight. You can find an example of this texture by clicking HERE
