Summer has also not been kind to me thus far. My body is sweaty but my hair is dry dry dry. I'm probably going to relax it soon (at around 16 weeks) as opposed to the end of June like I was aiming for (19 weeks). Dry hair and long stretches are a recipe for brittle, broken hairs. I found shea butter in my local hair shop (as well as other fun things which I will experiment with when I've cut down on products) so I might try that soon for heavy butter mixes.



Now, over a month ago, I bought a bundle of 16" coarse yaki hair extensions from The Hair Affair on Etsy and I've just managed to get round to installing them. Here's how it went down.


The packaging is really cute and comes with care instructions for your hair. Not to mention, the bag the hair comes in can be used to store your hair. The wefting is really tight and secure and the hair is so so so smooth and soft. The coarse yaki texture is lovely, and kind of like a neat braidout that was done on relaxed hair. The hair itself is also a lot more lightweight/fluffy and therefore like my fine hair than standard extension hair. The colour is a natural black/dark brown towards the ends, ranging in colour from 1-1B-2. I didn't measure the hair but it seems to be a tad longer than 16"? Or maybe 16" is longer on me than I thought it would be!

The hair at the ends however, didn't hold the same texture as the hair further up the shaft but this is understandable as hair at the older ends of hair is generally more difficult to get a style to hold on.
