Human Hair vs. Synthetic Yaki Extensions – Which is Right for You?
When it comes to Yaki hair extensions, one of the first questions customers ask is: "Should I choose human hair or synthetic hair?"
The answer depends on your budget, lifestyle, and styling goals. In this guide, we’ll break down the pros and cons of each so you can confidently choose the best option for you.
What is Yaki Hair? (Quick Recap)
