There is always something so special about straight hairstyles. They can be simple, or sleek and sexy at the same time. And as a fan of hair extensions, you surely know that there are four types of straight hair, namely natural straight hair, kinky straight hair, yaki straight hair, and bone straight hair. All these styles are great options to switch up your look, but currently, ladies are crazy about bone straight hair. So, what is the difference between bone straight hair and normal straight hair? Let’s figure it out below!
Different types of straight hair extensions
Before we start to discover the difference between bone straight hair and normal straight hair, let’s walk through the 4 straight hairstyles to get an overall view.
- Natural straight hair: As its name states, the hair is naturally straight. It often has slight waves in the middle of the hair rather than being straight right from root to tip. People also call these waves “body” of the hair, but with straight hair, this body is not significant.
- Kinky straight: Kinky straight hair is steam processed to seem, feel, and mimic kinky curly natural hair that has been blown out or texturized. This hair also has a shine and light soft crimps.
- Yaki straight hair: Just like kinky straight hair, yaki hair is ideal for ladies with 4A to 4C hair types. Yaki straight also resembles the texture of African women’s hair after it has been relaxed. The hair has a small kink to it (but less dense than kinky straight hair)
- Bone straight hair: Bone straight hair is featured with a sleek and scanty look. The hair is processed to look shiny and silky with really straight strands that it is called bone straight.
And with that to say, kinky straight hair and yaki straight hair look quite similar to each other while they clearly differ from bone straight hair in the look. That’s why people often consider choosing bone straight hair or natural hair if they opt for straight hair (and don’t want too much volume). So, let’s have a complete comparison of these two hair types to see which one you should choose.
Difference between bone straight hair and normal straight hair
How it looks?
The most obvious difference between bone straight hair and normal hair is it’s the way they look.
- Bone straight hair is straight right from root to tip, and it is straighter than natural straight hair. All the hair strands of bone straight hair are smooth and silky with some shine.
- Natural straight hair is featured with a little body, thereby looking a bit fuller than bone straight hair.
How the hair is processed?
Vietnamese natural straight hair extensions are collected from donors whose hair is naturally straight. That means the hair has NOT undergone the texturizing process, which requires heat or chemicals.
Unlike natural hair, bone straight hair is heat and stream straightened. But that does not mean that BigG Hair processes our bone straight hair weave using the chemical. At our factory, we make bundles of bone straight human hair weave with the “hot steam” method and Vietnamese herbals. NO chemical is allowed during the production process.
And that’s the reason why our bone straight hair is more durable than the hair straightened with chemicals. BigG’s hair remains silky and smooth after a long time of use.
Is it ready to use?
Unlike natural straight hair, bone straight hair requires Lil to no styling. The sleek look of the hair is already perfect for any setting. You can simply wear it on your head and go out.
For natural straight hair, people often choose to style the hair for a more special look rather than wearing it naturally.
How about the versatility?
As we have mentioned above, natural straight hair is non-processed hair. So, they are really versatile. You can curl, add color, and style it in many ways using heat tools.
Bone straight hair is steam straighten hair with free and firm strands, so it’s not advisable to curl or switch up its style. Even if you curl the hair, the strands cannot hold the texture well. Yet, that does not mean bone straight hair is not flexible. Long bone straight hair, bone straight hair with bangs, short bone straight hair with baby highlights, mixed color bone straight, and so on are all styles that can be done with the original bone straight hair.
The popularity of bone straight hair and natural hair
Both bone straight hair and natural straight hair are incredibly popular in the world. Therefore, we cannot tell which one is more popular. However, each type of hair is suitable for a particular market and country. And bone straight hair is now trending across continents.
Thanks to its smooth quality, which adds appeal and versatility, bone straight hair has become increasingly popular in recent years and is a favorite hairstyle of many ladies. The hair is especially popular across Africa, and a majority of African women see this beautiful hair as a symbol of status, giving them a classy vibe.
For natural straight hair, though it does not have a fashionable look like bone straight hair, it has never been out of style. This classic hairstyle is still a favorite option of ladies who like the simplicity, naturalness, and flexibility of a straight hair look.
So, if you are running a hair business, it’s better to import both bone straight hair and natural straight hair to cover more market segments.
The price of bone straight hair and natural straight hair
Due to the differences in hair texture and production, the price of bone straight hair and natural straight also varies.
Since bone straight hair requires a more complicated production process and more workers involved, its price is higher than natural straight hair. As you can see in the picture, bone straight hair costs more than normal straight hair.
With the same hair standard Super double drawn, bone straight hair starts at 112.721 nairas ($191) per kilogram while natural hair costs 78.905 nairas ($134) per kilogram.
Which one suit you?
Both the hair types are stunning options to tone up your looks. So, it depends on your hobbies and your budget that you can choose the one suitable for you. If you want to opt for a fashionable item with a flat and sleek look, bone straight hair will be the best choice for you. But if you want to go with something more natural and flexible, natural hair should be on your list.
