What Does Yaki Mean?
There are many stories concerning the origin of Yaki hair. Most stories concluded that the hair was initially made from fur fibres of a terrestrial creature called Yak. Yaki belongs to the Himalayas regions. The manufacturers of the Yaki hair had chosen the animal as the basis of the hair and name because it possesses long hair on its body that is shiny as well. The chemical composition of this hair is akin to that of human hair. The hair reacts to colouring the same way human hair does.
Sadly, there was a difference with this Yaki hair because some people suffered an itchy scalp the moment the hair was fixed to their head. Fortunately, since then the manufacturers have stopped harvesting the hair from the Yak animal. Nowadays, manufacturers use human donor hair. So, that means that it has taken the hair many years of evolution for it to reach the subtlest level it is these days.
Types Of Yaki Hair
1. Silky Yaki Hair
This hair type is the silkiest or lightweight texture of the Yaki hair. You may use it to give you the flat iron feel. It is smooth, but not as you would want it to be because it has little curls and kinks. This feature gives the hair some full body. Silky Yaki hair is also known as the straight Yaki or Light Yaki. The texture of this Yaki hair type can be boned straight and somewhat resembles your hair as though it has been straightened, flat ironed, or freshly relaxed.
2. Regular Yaki Hair
This hair type is the most popular type of Yaki hair. The hair looks straightened, relaxed and seems to be different from the silky type slightly. It looks like African American hair, and it can guarantee to add volume to your hair. Regular Yaki hair looks slightly polished than the silky Yaki. Besides, this hair type needs a little bit of careful maintenance if you want it to serve you more.
3. Kinky Straight
This hair type resembles Afro hair or African American hair more than regular Yaki hair does. Kinky straight has a thicker texture and seems utterly like natural hair that has been flat ironed. This hair’s curls are not too tight. The hair is not too curly and not too straight. Once you blow-dried, it looks exactly like the natural Afro hair.
4. Kinky Curly
This hair type has a typical African natural hair look. Kinky curly hair is the perfect hair for most black women. The hair allows you to stay away from heat and need to blow dry or flat iron the hair. It has not been treated with chemicals and may come in curly coarse or wavy coarse type. The hair usually looks as if you are wearing the hair that is tightly curled without any chemical treatments.

Is Yaki Hair Human Hair?
As I said earlier, Yaki hair is all in all! It can be synthetic, Remy and Non-Remy Hair. The hair collected from a single human donor, which cuticle runs in the same direction, is known as Remy Hair. But when it comes to Non-Remy Hair, it is the hair collected from many donors, which make the cuticles not intact. It could be processed or unprocessed and therefore, virgin and non-virgin. So, it comes from human donors, and it can be synthetic hair as well.
So, Is It Just The Same As Remy Hair?
Differentiating, the two may be hard for most people. They are not identical. The collection of hair from a single human donor in a uniformed way to have tips and roots in a single direction is Remy Hair. While Yaki Hair is not akin to the Remy Hair – Yaki hair is the texture of the hair. So, when making Yaki Hair, you may use Non-Remy, Synthetic or Remy Hair. Ensure you achieve the afro-like hair texture. The best quality of the Yaki hair is the Remy Yaki hair. That is obvious!
Is Yaki Hair Meant For Everyone?
Yaki hair is not for everyone! The hair only suits those of African descent. If you look at the extension strictly, you will realize that the hair is wavy, curly and kinky. So if you have big waves and straight hair, you cannot rock this Yaki hair.
