    get yaky perm..Silky is a silkier texture..ex. asain hair..not as silky but close to it..and if your hair is coarse, its not going to look nice because it’s going to be coarse on the top and then really straight and silky on the bottom…yaky perm, is straight and it has more texture. like you have a relaxer in..so that works best for hair that is relaxed.

    It depends on what kind of braids your getting silky works for micros,picies,and braids that hang down.The Yaky works for braids to the back and in a pony tail.

    Yaky is the best. Silky tends to be too straight in most cases

    depends on your hair texture. do you wear a relaxer, etc.

    I used to prefer yaky. I think it looks more natural.

    yaky is the best because it more natural looking and feeling….silky looks to fake and its get tangled more easily.

    As a retired supplier/salon owner, did you know that Yaki hair is from the animal “Yak”? It is a long-haired ox that lives in Tibet and Central Asia. The ox’s hair grows to 6 feet and is taken mostly from under its stomach – softer there. Ladies, please stay away from Yaki Hair, we are being laughed at by the merchants – it’s like putting dog hair on our heads! They also have the nerve to name it “yaki”, ..research for yourself and you’ll see.
