Why is yaki texture useful?
The more structured surface increases grip during processing and helps control the fiber as you build compact and defined dreadlocks.
Heat and styling
The KJHS product page indicates resistance up to approximately 200°C and the possibility of working with a straightener in a controlled manner. Start with lower temperatures and always do a test.
How many packs?

FAQ
Is it suitable for box braids?
KJHS positions it primarily for dreadmaking. For box braids and knotless braids, EZ Braid, X-Pression, or Outre are more suitable.
Is it compatible with HWS?
This is not its main feature. If HWS is essential, choose a fiber declared compatible like Outre Ultra Braid.
