Yaki Clip Hair Extensions... Will They Blend?
Blending your clip in hair extensions is a must for a convincing look. If you have naturally very curly hair that you’ve had chemically straightened for some time (as in not salon-fresh) or heat straightened, you’ll be able to blend it with your clip-in hair extensions.
The more texture (curly) your natural growth hair was before straightening, the more likely it is that it will blend with Yaki straight (relaxed straight) clip hair extensions.
This means that straight and wavy heads may find their natural hair is shinier than the yaki textures hair and so won’t blend as well – there’s not much that can be done about this as the ability for hair to reflect light (and therefore look shiny) is due to the overall shape of the hair strand itself - straight and curly hair have different shaped strands.
So if you have straight or wavy growth hair then the better texture options for clip in hair extensions are silky straight or natural straight textures.
