Serena Hair

Hey guys. I'm coming to you today with my first hair product review in full. So I was at my local BSS and I got talked into trying a new brand and by being talked into I mean given a great price. I purchased two packs of Serena Human Hair Yaky 12" for 14.99. And I will be posting pictures at the bottom. I have been pleasantly surprised with this brand of hair.  So without further ado lets get into it.....

Brand: Serena "12" Yaky color #1


Length: I purchased a 12" and it was a great length not like some of the brands where you purchase a 12" but end up having to trim it because the ends are so straggly. So I will give this an "A"

Saturation: I purchased a #1 the hair was VERY dark if you color your hair "blue black" or "blackest black" this would be a perfect color match. Other wise if you might need a #1b for a "natural black". There were no "gray" strands, thread or any of that. I will give this portion an "A" as well.

Weft Width: 55" folded 110" unfolded which I believe is standard but this is my first time measuring. so A

Shedding: This hair SHEDS not long strands like short strands like normal hair but it happens everytime you comb your hair it is quite annoying and messy. Not side chick friendly lol. "D"

Tangling: I have not noticed any tangling in the hair at all except for the first track at the nape of the neck but that is because the hair is on your neck and its only on my right side because I cant keep my fingers out of my hair. "B-"

Weft Puncture Ease: The weft is not hard at ALL which makes it very easy to split the tracks as well as easy sewing. "B"

Texture: Ok so the hair I purchased was labeled as yaky and it does resemble relaxed African - American hair. It is very soft. "A"

Curl Rentention: I have had a hard time trying to get this hair to hold heat even with hairspray as the hair gets older I have an easier time still nothing great. "C"


Overall score 78.1% C+

My overall opinion is that for what I had paid for the hair (14.99) I got exactly what I paid for. I would say this hair would be Idyllic for quickweaves, adding track to your natural hair for fullness, and a sew-in to tide you over for a couple of weeks. ♥ K
