Yaki Hair Weave (Relaxed Straight)
Texture Guide
The yaki hair weave texture resembles type 4 hair that has been chemically or heat straightened. It's a soft texture with movement and fluidity. Close up you'll notice very tiny kinks in the hair strands which is why it's doesn't appear as glossy as the silky straight texture.
Technically speaking, the term "yaki" is an outdated term, but it's still in use and so we'll use it although you'll see the words "relaxed straight" used more often to describe this texture of hair.
Who Can Wear (Relaxed) Straight Yaki Hair Weave
The texture is great for those with naturally very curly growth hair ranging from 3c to 4c (densely packed corkscrew curls through to Afro curls of any size) so if your hair texture is within that range and you're looking for your perfect weave hair match, then you've found it with yaki straight.

As you'll be the one who has to wear it, what's most important when choosing your weave hair texture is to make sure that you like the look of it.
Lengths for (Relaxed) Straight Yaki Hair Weave
Much like weave hair in general, the lengths start at eight inches and go to 28 inches and sometimes beyond, but you'll have to have a good set of searching skills to find the longer lengths, as although they exist, it can be hard to find retailers that stock them.
Also remember that if you intend to have your weave hair styled and cut in a way that involves taking length off the bottom, it’s worth bearing this in mind when you choose the length of weave hair.

3. Keep yaki weave hair moisturized, with a water-based moisturizer that doesn't contain mineral oil (as doesn't penetrate human hair, it coats it and can trap dirt and dust).
4. Tame fly-away hair by using hair oils to smooth and nourish the weave hair to calm frizz or seal moisture in dry ends (for best results apply to damp hair).
5. Avoid any hair styling products coming into contact with the tracks of glue-in weave hair as these can cause the glue to soften and the weave hair to come loose.
