When I first bought a straight wig, I was completely confused by the names kinky straight and yaki straight. They looked similar in the pictures, and the store also said that they were close to the texture of "natural straight hair", but when I actually put them on, I found that the difference was really obvious! If you are also struggling to decide which of these two hair qualities is more suitable for you, let’s talk about my real experience today.
Kinky Straight Wig
The first feeling after putting on the kinky straight wig is "thick"! The hair has a natural expansion feeling, which looks like the effect of 4B/4C hair being straightened and slightly rebounded. It is straight and has a slight texture, and it feels better than ordinary straight hair. Because the hair is full of volume, it will look like a lot of hair after wearing it, which is very suitable for girls who like thick hair.
The first time I wore a kinky straight wig, I was really amazed by its natural feel. Especially when I mix it with my real hair, the roots of my hair don't look out of place at all, as if they grew out of my own hair. And its fluffy feeling makes the whole look very aura. With a middle or side part, you can have a mature and atmospheric style by wearing a coat.
However, kinky straight also has a small disadvantage, that is, although its hair volume looks good, it is easier to get tangled than ordinary straight hair, especially the area behind the neck. After long-term friction, the hair may be a little frizzy. So every time after wearing it, I will use a wide-tooth comb to gently comb it or spray some no-rinse hair spray to keep the hair smooth.
Yaki Straight Wig
Compared with kinky straight, yaki straight has a finer texture and looks like natural curly hair straightened with a hot comb. It is a little smoother than kinky straight, but still retains a little texture. It is not so exaggeratedly heavy; it is lighter and smoother, especially suitable for daily wear.
I remember one time when I went to work, I wore a yaki straight
360 glueless wig with a low ponytail. The whole look was very neat and clean, and it didn't feel heavy at all. Compared with kinky straight, yaki straight is more suitable for girls who like natural
straight hair wig but don't want to be too rigid. It looks more textured than ordinary silky straight hair, but it won't be as bloated as kinky straight.
Another point I like about yaki straight is that it is much easier to take care of than kinky straight. Because the hair is lighter, even if you wear it all day, it won't be easily tangled. Just comb it and it will be smooth again. So if you are looking for a straight wig that is both natural and easy to take care of, yaki straight may be more suitable for you.
