Perm yaki weave

Types of perm yaki weaves

A perm yaki weave is a popular hair extension known for its natural appearance and long-lasting style. It's made by combining a perm Yaki texture, resembling relaxed natural hair, with a weave or extension technique. This creates a voluminous and textured look that can be styled in various ways. Here are the main types of perm Yaki weaves:

• Curly and Wavy Styles:

  This type features loose, S-shaped curls or waves. The curls are more open, giving a soft and relaxed look. They can be styled casually or more formally. These styles are flexible and can be dressed in a variety of ways. They are suitable for everyday wear or special occasions.

• Tight and Coiled Styles:

  These styles have tighter, smaller curls that are more defined. The coils are similar to those seen in tightly curled natural hair. They create a bold and dramatic look. The smaller coils add volume and texture. These styles make a statement and are suitable for those who love big, curly hair.

• Loose, Beachy Styles:

  This type has loose, flowing waves that resemble beachy waves. The look is casual and effortless. It gives a relaxed vibe as if just coming from the beach. This style is perfect for those wanting a laid-back, tousled appearance.

• Coily and Kinky Styles:

  These styles feature coily or kinky textures. The coils are small, tight, and very defined. They look very much like natural African American hair. This type gives a very textured appearance. It's great for blending with natural hair that has a coily texture.

• Long and Flowing Styles:

  This style has long lengths, flowing waves, or curls. The hair extends down the back or past the shoulders. It creates an elegant and glamorous look. This type is suitable for those who want to make a dramatic statement with long, luxurious curls.

How to choose perm yaki weaves

When selecting the perfect perm Yaki hair weave, several key factors must be kept in mind to achieve the best results:

• Texture Matching:

  Choosing a weave texture that closely matches the individual's natural hair is essential. Various types of perm Yaki weaves are available, each with different degrees of straightness, kink, and curl. Selecting one that harmonizes with the natural hair will help provide a smooth blend for an overall natural look.

• Length and Volume:

  Consider the desired length and volume when selecting a Yaki weave. They come in different lengths and densities. Some may be pre-made with a certain length or style, which may limit the ability to trim or adjust them. Others may allow cutting to one's preferred length. Properly assessing the appropriate length and volume helps achieve the desired look.

• Hair Care Routine:

  It is essential to consider the maintenance required for different types of Yaki weaves. Some may need more frequent washing, conditioning, and styling, while others are low-maintenance. Weaves that require more care may need additional products like heat protectants, leave-in conditioners, or weekly deep treatments. Considering the time and effort needed to maintain the weave will help choose one that fits the individual's lifestyle and preferences.

• Budget:

  Perm Yaki weaves come in various price ranges depending on factors like hair quality, length, brand, and additional materials used. Higher-quality hair weaves may cost more but tend to last longer and require less maintenance. Considering the budget allows choosing a weave that provides good value while fitting within the amount allocated for hair expenses.

How to use/install and product safety

How to use/install

• Preparing the natural hair: The hair is shampooed and conditioned to make it clean. Then air-dry or blow-dry the hair so it's completely dry. The hair is also detangled well so that it's smooth and ready for the weave.
• Sectioning: Divide the natural hair into small sections. This makes it easy to apply the perm Yaki weave and gives a neat installation.
• Braid or twist: Braid or twist the natural hair in each section. These braids or twists create a good base for the weave and help keep the natural hair flat against the scalp.
• Applying the adhesive weave: Take a small piece of the perm Yaki weave and apply some adhesive to its base. Attach it to the braided or twisted section of the natural hair. Press it firmly against the scalp so it sticks well.
• Combining: Use a wide-tooth comb to blend the weave with the natural hair. Comb the sections together to make them look like one. Use some styling gel to smooth out any bumps or lines between the natural hair and the weave.
• Setting: Style the combined hair into the desired look. Whether loose waves, curls, or straight, ensure the weave and natural hair look good. Apply some hair mousse to set the style and add shine.
• Finishing touches: Trim any excess weave material so it blends well with the natural hair. Apply some hair oil to the scalp and weave to hydrate and shine.

Product safety

• Quality ingredients: A good perm Yaki weave is made from quality materials that are safe for the hair. These materials are carefully chosen to ensure they are gentle on the hair and do not cause any damage or breakage over time.
• Low processing heat: The heat used to process the hair and make the weave in the desired style is low. This low heat helps maintain the hair's health and prevent any unnecessary stress or damage from being caused by high temperatures.
• Non-chemical treatments: Perm Yaki hair is not treated with harsh chemicals. The absence of these chemicals makes the hair safe and suitable for everyday use without the risk of irritation or allergic reactions.
• Certification and compliance: Check for certifications that meet safety standards. These certifications indicate that the product has been tested and meets the required safety standards.
