Our yaki straight bundles are designed for people who want hair that blends naturally without needing daily heat styling or constant adjustments. Made from 100% raw human hair sourced from Vietnam and Cambodia, the strands arrive with their cuticles intact and aligned from root to tip.

The result is hair that maintains its texture, blends naturally, and lasts through repeated installs rather than looking good only at the beginning.

Silky straight hair often looks good in photos. Under natural light and beside your leave-out, the difference becomes easier to spot. The finish can appear too smooth, too flat, and slightly disconnected from the texture of your natural hair.

That is not usually a styling problem. It is a texture problem.

Since 2013, we have supplied raw hair to customers looking for consistency and long-term value. The goal has always been simple: hair that performs the way it should every time you wear it.

Why This Texture Blends So Naturally

Yaki straight mimics the appearance of hair that has been lightly relaxed or gently heat-pressed.

Unlike silky straight textures, it features a subtle coarseness that creates a more realistic finish compared to natural hair textures.

That difference matters because it reduces the need for:

• Daily heat styling
• Excessive blending of products
• Constant touch-ups
• Repeated manipulation of natural hair

For those with relaxed, texlaxed, or natural hair that has been stretched or straightened, the transition between your own hair and the extensions looks significantly more seamless.

Instead of looking like hair added on top, the texture appears integrated into your style.

Our Vietnamese DD Straight collection and Cambodian DD Wavy collection are built to a standard for those who want that maximum density. If you want to understand more about drawing grades before you buy, our DD guide covers the differences in full.

Yaki Straight Hair - A Protective Style That Reduces Daily Heat

One of the reasons this texture remains popular is that it works exceptionally well as a protective style. Because the hair already resembles pressed or lightly relaxed hair, your natural hair does not need constant heat styling to match.

That means:

• Less heat exposure
• Less manipulation
• Reduced stress on your natural hair
• Easier long-term maintenance

For those transitioning from relaxers, recovering from heat damage, or simply trying to reduce daily styling, this offers a polished appearance without requiring daily effort.

Heat Styling and Versatility

This hair texture gives you flexibility beyond one fixed style. You can:

• Curl it
• Flat iron it
• Colour it
• Restyle it repeatedly

Because the strands remain unprocessed with aligned cuticles, the hair responds naturally to styling while maintaining its overall integrity.

Whether you want a sleek everyday look or soft curls for an event, the texture adapts without becoming difficult to manage.

Lace options include HD Thin Lace, Transparent Swiss Lace, and Brown Swiss Lace. 

HD lace gives the most seamless, undetectable finish against the skin.

Transparent Swiss lace is more durable and suits lighter to medium skin tones.

Brown Swiss lace is the most natural match for deeper skin tones and requires the least customisation work at the hairline.

Lace sizes range from 4x4 closures to 13x6 frontals. 

A 4x4 or 5x5 closure works well for everyday styles with a defined part.

A 13x4 or 13x6 frontal gives you the full hairline edge-to-edge and maximum versatility for styling, including off-centre parts and pulled-back looks.

Length options run from short bobs to long, full-length installs.

Whether you want a sharp, chin-length cut or a 30-inch length, the yaki straight texture is natural at every length because the slight coarseness scales with the style.

Does It Shed or Tangle?

This is one of the most common concerns before purchasing hair extensions. Some shedding can occur during installation, particularly if wefts are cut for custom installs.

However, aligned cuticles help reduce excessive shedding and friction between strands. Tangling is also significantly reduced compared with heavily processed hair because the strands run in the same direction from root to tip.

Daily habits help preserve performance:

• Detangle gently from ends upward
• Avoid heavy product build-up
• Sleep with satin protection
• Avoid sleeping with wet hair

Overall, maintenance habits have a major impact on longevity.

How Many Bundles Do You Need?

The right amount depends mainly on your preferred length and desired fullness.

Here’s a quick guide:

• Up to 16 inches: 2 bundles plus a closure is typically enough
• 18–22 inches: 3 bundles usually creates a full appearance
• 24 inches and above: 3-4 bundles help maintain fullness throughout the style

Customers wanting maximum density often choose an additional bundle.

Colour Options and Customisation

Our hair is available in two base shades:

• 1B: A natural black-brown shade that blends with most darker hair colours and remains the most commonly selected option.
• 613: A blonde base suitable for customers planning colour customisation. Because the hair starts from a lighter foundation, colourists can achieve a wider range of shades with greater predictability. Professional colouring is always recommended, along with a strand test before major colour changes.

Yaki Straight vs Kinky Straight

The difference comes down to texture matching.

Yaki Straight

• Mimics lightly pressed or relaxed hair
• Smooth with subtle coarseness
• Blends across multiple hair textures
• Lower overall texture visibility

Kinky Straight

• Greater texture definition
• More volume throughout
• Mimics stretched natural hair
• Better suited for thicker natural textures

If your hair sits somewhere between the two, yaki straight is usually the safer choice because it reads more universally across a range of natural textures. If you want to compare both sides side by side before deciding, our kinky straight collection is one click away.

Hair Care Tips

The routine is simple, but consistency keeps the hair performing well over time.

Washing

Use a sulphate-free shampoo and wash using smooth downward motions. Avoid bunching or aggressively scrubbing the strands together.

Detangling

Detangle before washing using a wide-tooth comb and work from the ends upward.

Drying

Air drying is ideal. If using heat, maintain a low to medium setting.

Overnight Protection

Use a satin bonnet, silk scarf, or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and preserve moisture.

Products

A lightweight leave-in conditioner and a small amount of oil on the ends are usually enough.
