No kidding! And they called that 'silky straight'! Heck - there are horse's tails that are MUCH silkier than some of the matted dog hair that I've gotten! Yaki officially is supposed to replicate the texture of straightened curly hair, so it's straight, but has a coarser base texture. But as we well know, one brand's yaki is another brand's silky - like WaWa; all their hair is labeled yaki and it is as fine an silky as can be. |

I was just going to say that about the WaWa "yaki." It's some of the
softest hair I've ever felt. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |
