Virgin Kinky Straight Hair Bundles

Blown-out texture that blends with a natural press.

Kinky straight is straight hair with the body and grip of natural hair that has just been blown out. It is the texture that blends most convincingly with a pressed 4A to 4C leave-out, where silky straight would show a line.

Buying guide (read before you buy)

Who is kinky straight for?

Anyone wearing a leave-out on natural hair. Silky straight sits flat and shiny against pressed natural hair and the difference shows. Kinky straight has the same slight coarseness and body as a fresh blow-out, so the leave-out disappears into it.

Kinky straight or yaki straight?

Kinky straight has more texture and grip and matches natural hair. Yaki is smoother and matches relaxed hair. If you are unsure, kinky straight is the more forgiving of the two because its texture hides the blend line.

How many bundles do I need?

Three for a full head at 18 inches and under, four past 22. Because kinky straight carries more body than silky straight, three often covers what would take four in a flat texture.

Does it revert when it gets wet?

No. This is straight virgin hair with a textured finish, not a curl pattern, so there is nothing to revert to. It loses some body after washing and comes back with a blow-dry.

Not sure what to buy? Hair Texture Guide

Kinky straight hair bundles are the closest thing to your own hair after a fresh blowout. Not silk-pressed flat, not crimped into a texture — the loose body and grain of blown-out 4-type hair. That is the whole reason to buy it. It is the one texture that lets you leave your own hair out at the crown and have nobody find the line.

The kinky straight bundle is Brazilian virgin hair, 100% human, 12 to 28 inches in natural black, 100 grams per bundle. The pattern is steamed in rather than chemically set, so it comes back to itself after every wash.

How to choose length, bundle count and a lace piece

Kinky straight measures close to true. There is no curl to spring up, so a 20-inch bundle hangs at about 20 inches. Buy the length you actually want instead of adding inches for shrinkage the way you would on a deep wave.

Two bundles cover a full sew-in up to 14 inches; at 16 inches and longer, buy three. The closure or frontal covers your leave-out, so it does not change that count.

The Kinky Straight 3 Bundle Deal puts three bundles in three consecutive lengths, 100 grams each, in one order, for less than buying them one at a time: 24, 26 and 28 inches is $429 against $453 as singles.

If you are not leaving hair out, match the lace piece to the texture. Matching kinky straight closures run from 2x6 to 7x7, and there is a 13x4 kinky straight frontal in HD and transparent lace. A silky straight closure over kinky straight bundles is the first thing anyone spots.

Questions people ask about kinky straight hair

What is kinky straight hair?

Kinky straight is human hair steamed into the texture of blown-out coily hair. It runs straight in direction but is not smooth on the surface — there is a soft, dense grain to it that catches light the way real 4-type hair does under a blow dryer. Nothing is chemically straightened, which is why washing brings the texture back instead of loosening it.

How long does a sew-in last?

Six to eight weeks. Past that the braids underneath loosen, the tension moves to your edges, and new growth starts fighting the tracks. Take it down at eight weeks, wash and treat your own hair, and the same kinky straight bundles go back in three or four more times.

Care

Sulfate-free shampoo, condition mid-shaft to ends, comb from the ends up, air dry. A light leave-in on damp hair keeps the body; heavy oil flattens it. Bonnet it at night.

For a flatter finish with the grain of pressed hair, see yaki straight bundles. The full texture range sits in virgin hair bundles, and the matching lace pieces in HD lace closures. If you are planning a leave-out install, read four ways to protect your leave-out first. Returns run 30 days from delivery: untouched hair comes back for a full refund, worn hair for store credit, and you cover return shipping — the terms are on the return and exchange policy page.

Frequently asked questions

Who is kinky straight hair for?

Anyone wearing a leave-out on natural hair. Silky straight sits flat and shiny against pressed natural hair and the difference shows. Kinky straight has the same slight coarseness and body as a fresh blow-out, so the leave-out disappears into it.

Kinky straight or yaki straight?

Kinky straight has more texture and grip and matches natural hair. Yaki is smoother and matches relaxed hair. If you are unsure, kinky straight is more forgiving, because its texture hides the blend line.

How many kinky straight bundles do I need?

Mayvenn recommends 2 kinky straight bundles for installs up to 14 inches and 3 bundles for 16 inches and longer, paired with a closure or frontal. Every Mayvenn bundle weighs 100 grams, so the count is the same for every texture.

Will kinky straight blend with 4C hair?

It is the closest straight texture we carry to a pressed 4A through 4C blow-out. Your leave-out still needs to be stretched or pressed, because kinky straight matches blown-out natural hair rather than unstretched natural hair.

Does kinky straight revert to a curl when wet?

No. It is straight virgin hair with a textured, blown-out finish rather than a curl pattern. It loses body after washing and comes back with a blow-dry.

Can kinky straight hair be straightened?

Yes. Kinky straight presses with a flat iron at 350F or below and a heat protectant, and the blown-out texture comes back after the next wash. Running the iron at 450F again and again is what takes the body out for good. If you want sleek hair most days, yaki straight or straight bundles are the better buy.

How do I keep the body from going flat?

Wash less often than you would straight hair, use a light conditioner rather than a heavy one, and blow-dry with tension rather than air drying. Heavy products weigh down the very texture you bought it for.
