Clip In Hair Extensions

Hair types

The first thing to know is that there are different types of hair with which extensions can be manufactured, and depending on the type of hair, this will be the quality and duration of these. When buying extensions you will find extensions of natural Remy hair, non-Remy natural hair on the best yaki clip in hair extensions of different textures. Below we explain more about each type of extension but before you must know where the hair comes from, with which it will be easier to understand their difference.

Remy hair and Yaki hair, two types of hair for extensions

The term Remy refers to the harvesting process, while the term Yaki refers to the texture of Afro-Caribbean hair, chemically straightened. Yaki hair may or may not be Remy, and may even be synthetic. Now we will see the characteristics of each of these types of hair.

What is Yaki hair and how is it obtained?

Yaki hair extensions are designed to look and feel the same as African, Caribbean or African American hair.

In the market, you can find synthetic Yaki hair extensions. In this case, the extensions are very cheap, but the hair lasts too short and tangles too much, so it is usually recommended only for braiding.

Human Yaki hair extensions are also manufactured, being either Remy or non-Remy.

If it is Remy, it is collected in the same way as Remy hair that is not Yaki, that is, respecting the natural direction of the cuticles. This Yaki hair is the most recommended for the reasons that I already explained in this article about the superiority of Remy's hair.

Yaki hair types

Yaki hair is available in four variants:

Yaki Silky or Straight hair has the appearance of straightened and ironed Afro-Caribbean hair.

The regular Yaki looks smooth but not as silky as the Silky version.

Yaki Crespo is similar to hair that has not been smoothed with chemicals but has been blow-dried. It looks more natural and has a thicker texture.

The rustic Yaki has the appearance of natural Afro-Caribbean hair, which has not been modified. This can be wavy or curly.

Differences between Yaki and Remy hair

Yaki hair only works well for people with African hair. If they are used by someone who does not have African-Caribbean hair, the difference in texture will be very noticeable and the extensions would be too evident. Similarly, if someone with Afro-Caribbean hair were to wear Caucasian hair extensions, they would not look like natural hair.

What hair type is best for extensions?

If you are looking to buy hair extensions, the best is 100% Remy human hair, without blends, whether this is Yaki or not.

The answer from the beauty expert

If you want to damage your permed hair for the next 2 years, yes, have it straightened! If not, have them cut slightly and gradually your crimp will go away. Only the failed perms disappear after 2 months. Once the hair has been set in the curly position, they tend to want to keep it. So the next time you want to have curly hair, remember that it reacts well to the perm and opt for a light mini-wave.
