It’s soft but it doesn’t straighten or hold a curl. It has crimps that make it look like kinky hair not yaki hair.
I randomly came across one of Akia's Instagram reels and decided to purchase two Deep Wave bundles (16" and 18") after watching several posts of her installing this hair on her clients. I typically shy away from deep wave hair because it tends to lay flat on the head, lacks texture, volume, and is too silky for my leave out. HOWEVER, it is the exact opposite with this hair. Akia is by far my favorite hair vendor, (and I used to sell hair). The deep wave bundles are very thick, voluminous and long. For reference, I'm 5'1 and the hair is past my bra strap. THE HAIR DOES NOT SHED! I'm low maintenance when it comes to installs (I don't wear my bonnet to bed like I should), so thankfully this hair is easy to detangle in the morning. Surprisingly, the curl pattern consists of natural pretty ringlets and blends well with my natural hair (I am 4B-4A curl pattern) so I typically wear it curly or ask my stylist to crimp it. Finally, because these bundles are very thick, it does take some elbow grease if you want to straighten it (i.e. you have to use the right products and use the chase method in smaller pieces). Otherwise this hair is bomb! Ps. I don't know Akia, never met her a day in my life, but her hair is AMAZING!
I bought 2 bundles to see what the hair was like because it looked beautiful online. When i received it, it was so thin - I’ve had boho braid bundles thicker. It’s very disappointing for how pricey this is. You need at least 5-7 bundles to have a full look..
