1.1. Sources of hair extensions – wholesale hair vendors factories all over the world

Currently, wholesaling hair extensions is a pretty profitable industry. More and more people are choosing a wholesale hair vendors reseller career. And one of the top concerns is about the source of hair extensions. Finding a reliable supplier is such a time-consuming process. Knowing this, we are here to give you a synthesis on 3 hair markets: Asian, European and American ones which have the biggest wholesale hair vendors factories. All the information of their hair origins, strengths and weaknesses will be clarified.

Among all, K-Hair is one of the best hair factories that have the best hair sources:

1.1.1. Asian wholesale hair vendors suppliers

Asians are undoubtedly the biggest suppliers of hair extensions. If you are interested in hair and are about to start your own hair business, then you must have heard of Chinese hair, Indian hair or Vietnamese hair, etc. But what is the profound information about these wholesale hair vendors factories that you hardly find out on the internet? Let us give you all!

1.1.1.1. Chinese wholesale hair vendors factories

China is the country of giant wholesale hair vendors and exporters of hair extensions. With an industrial-scale of producing hair extensions, it is one of the fastest growing human hair distributors with the increasing rate of up to 22.8% in 2 years 2019 and 2020 (according to World’s Top Exports).

So, how can China reach that amazing number of hair exports, where they get the ingredients for the hair extensions business? Many will think that the huge population of China creates an enormous source for hair extensions, but actually it is not true. Only mountainous women who are poor will agree to sell their hair for money. The rest of the hair source literally comes from other countries! Chinese wholesale hair vendors factories often have to import low-price hair from their neighbors (especially India) to meet the demand of its giant market. Even worse, the investigation by BBC also finds out that Chinese factories can even mix up human hair and animal hair (goat hair) for a better profit! In the market, you also may see “Brazilian” labelled hair but it is actually Chinese hair instead!

Due to using unqualified sources of hair and the capability of running industrial-scale hair factories, Chinese wholesale hair vendors factories have a super strength in price. Their factories are often specialized, which helps save a lot of production costs. So, if you are starting with a small capital, Chinese hair seems to be an appealing option. However, bear in mind that price goes together with quality, you’d better take it into consideration before deciding to choose Chinese hair.

1.1.1.2. Indian wholesale hair vendors factories

As mentioned above, Indian wholesale hair vendors are a cheap hair source of China. They also produce their own hair extensions and export to many countries at a low price. So why are their hair extensions so cheap? The answers also lie in the hair sources and the production.

Where do Indian wholesale hair vendors factories collect their hair? According to our research, Indian hair is mostly collected from villages and temples that are in rural areas. In these regions, there is a custom that Hindus women have to go to temples to shave their heads to show their belief and respect for Gods. Then, all the temple hair will be purchased at low prices to make hair extensions. Although it is human hair, it is often mixed up and becomes remy or non-remy hair, whose quality is quite low. Another source is “comb waste”. Have you heard of that? It is actually hair collected from salon floors as well as “hair dumps” which can also be considered as wastes. These sources are undoubtedly unqualified. What’s more, even natural Indian human hair’s characteristics are quite dry and not sleek, so their natural hair is usually not as attractive as the final hair extensions that they call “virgin hair extensions”.

How about Indian wholesale hair vendors factories’ production? It cannot be denied that India’s hair industry is still so simple and not specialized. Laborers of this business are usually poor people from undeveloped villages. As a result, the wage expenses are super cheap. The lack of modern equipment also makes the production costs pretty low. All of these make Indian hair extensions one of the cheapest hair products in the market.

So, choosing Indian wholesale hair vendors factories as your suppliers is another economical choice. However, again, price goes together with quality, after all analysis above, make sure that the quality of Indian hair extensions meets your expectation before deciding to import in quantities!

1.1.1.3. Cambodian wholesale hair vendors factories

Cambodian hair extensions can be quite new to you if you are not in the hair business long enough. The point is, there is not much research on this business in Cambodia. Wholesale hair vendors factories in Cambodia are not developed and often of small scale and simple technique.

About their sources of hair, Cambodian wholesale hair vendors factories collect hair from women in rural areas. Donors are usually from Western Cambodia and their hair quality is quite good. It is said to be smooth and tangle-free. However, there are also research reported that “In 2012, many of the women evicted from Phnom Penh’s Borei Keila slum resorted to hair sale, sometimes for no more than $8, after losing their homes and jobs in one of Cambodia’s recent bitterest land disputes. The main motivation was buying rice for the family.” So, with such a low living standard, it is hard for them to take care of the hair well to bring the best quality. It marks a question of whether the good quality is the truth or just something people overstate in terms of marketing. No resellers can confirm this unless they buy from Cambodia and have their own assessment. However, don’t be too pessimistic, as there are certainly good suppliers if you put enough effort in researching.

Similar to Indian’s, Cambodian wholesale hair vendors factories are usually of house-hold scale and very simple, and the labor costs are super low as well. That’s why Cambodian hair extensions are not very expensive, but they can’t be considered as cheap, though.

1.1.1.4. Malaysian wholesale hair vendors factories

Malaysian hair extensions are often quite appreciated in the hair business. However, not many people know that “Malaysian hair extensions” don’t truly exist”. Research shows that most of the hair extensions of wholesale hair vendors factories here are actually imported from other countries. They often get hair sources from China or Cambodia. In addition, the hair business here is not closely regulated, so nothing can ensure the prestige of the brands or products.

1.1.1.5. Myanmar wholesale hair vendors factories

Myanmar is one of the top countries that receive the highest value from exporting human hair. The hair source here is from women of rural areas. Also, hair is collected from the “selfless act” that occurs in April every year when girls cut their hair as a tradition. Hence, the quality of hair is quite fixed.

However, the technology of Myanmar wholesale hair vendors is still basic and backward. They mainly work in house-hold scale and the quality of the process is not very good. In general, the hair quality and price are quite cheap, which makes Myanmar one of the top exporters of human hair. If you are to start your hair business, Myanmar can be a worth trying choice.

1.1.1.6. Vietnamese wholesale hair vendors factories

Another prominent hair extensions supplier is that of Vietnam. Although Vietnamese wholesale hair vendors factories are not former in the hair business, it achieved considerable attainment. Vietnamese wholesale hair distributors have become the top choice of resellers all over the world, especially for African ones. Giving prominence to 2 most important factors: quality and price, their prestige is more and more known day by day.

So, where do Vietnamese wholesale hair vendors factories get their hair source? It is similar to many others, Vietnamese wholesale hair suppliers go to rural and mountainous areas to buy women’s hair. The special point is that they only buy hair of women aged from 18 to 25, who are still young and have good health and also pay more attention to hair care, too. As a result, the hair source is ensured to be fresh and high-quality. Often, it is very smooth, silky and not tangled, shedding or split.

About the production, actually Vietnamese wholesale hair vendors factories are still working in house-hold scale. However, this does not prevent them from ensuring the quality of their hair extensions. Usually, the laborers are chosen carefully and they are very skillful. What’s more, each process is highly concerned to make sure that the hair still keeps its cuticles and same direction. For all the quality, Vietnamese hair extensions can’t be so cheap as Chinese or Indian ones, but they are definitely not expensive. It can be said that the price is reasonable for such a high quality! This is the important demand that almost all the factories above can’t meet! You can try and have a confirmation for yourself.

1.1.2. European wholesale hair vendors suppliers – Russian wholesale hair factories

European hair extensions are ones that are naturally blond and of good quality. But the point is, they are pretty rare and expensive. The original sellers of these are Russian wholesale hair vendors factories or somes suppliers in Northern Europe. And the number of wholesale hair sellers in the market is therefore pretty small. For new wholesale hair resellers, these distributors are not highly recommended, as you’d better find for yourself a long-term and fixed partner.

1.1.3. South American wholesale hair vendors suppliers – Brazilian and Peruvian wholesale hair factories

Have you ever heard of Brazilian or Peruvian hair extensions as of top high-quality and then the prices are of top most expensive? But then, you’ll be surprised to learn that actually these hair extensions are just imported from China and India! It is clear that people in these South American countries are not so broke that they have to sell their hair to earn money. Then, to meet the demand of such a big market, South American wholesale hair vendors factories have to import hair from foreign countries. For you to have a clearer illustration, here is the claim of a knowledgeable hair importer: “It’s all the same hair. [Chinese or Indian]. They have different names for it. Whenever they exhaust one name they tag on another name. So, at the moment they have Brazilian hair, they have Peruvian hair, Indonesian hair, they have Malaysian hair, Italian and French too. Customers think it’s a new product and so they are going to buy it and try it at least once.” After reading this, you’d better be more aware of the marketing effect to be a lucid reseller!

1.2. Clarify 2 most frequently mistaken terms: resell wholesale hair vendors vs. wholesale hair vendors factories

In case you read our above analysis and sometimes feel confused because of the phrases “wholesale hair vendors factories” and “wholesale hair vendors resellers”. Then, before continuing with further analysis, you’d better make it clear between a normal reselling wholesaler and a wholesale factory (which are two forms of wholesale vendors). Please read our explanation below to make everything clear at first. Then, grasping this basic difference will help you understand our analysis more easily.

1.2.1. Resell wholesale hair vendors/sellers

What are resell wholesale hair vendors?

They are simply sellers that buy hair extensions in quantities from factories/sellers to resell to other sellers or customers. Actually, they cannot produce hair, but they can still resell at pretty reasonable prices for importing hair with wholesale prices.

You can imagine resell wholesale hair vendors as intermediaries. They are the “bridges” between original distributors and other small scale sellers or customers.

Nowadays, many commercial hair companies claim themselves as wholesale factories whereas they are just resellers. They do so to try to get trust from other importers, so be alert and you can recognize them by following tips:

• Make video calls to confirm the factories, commercial resell hair companies have no factories!!! They can’t call themselves as the best wholesale hair vendors factory when they don’t even have a factory!
• Require guarantee under ordering time, commercial companies can’t meet your requirement as they don’t directly manufacture the hair!
• Make sure the prices are near to basis prices; otherwise, those companies are just resellers

1.2.2. Wholesale hair vendors factories

Unlike resellers, wholesale hair vendors factories are the ones that directly manufacture hair extension products. They have factories, equipment, technique and laborers to produce hair. Those factories are where the hair extensions come from.

If you call the sale of hair a successive range of chains, then hair factories are the first chains. They are the original distributors of hair extensions. They are the suppliers for reselling wholesalers, retailers or even buyers with personal use (salons, hair stylists…)

1.2.3. When is a vendor considered as a wholesale hair vendor factory?

As we know, both kinds of wholesale hair vendors are wholesalers, but they have different roles. So how to know whether a vendor is a wholesale hair vendor factory or not? The answer is that only when the vendor meets all these demands will it be called a factory:

• A factory will have material facilities in appropriate scale, including qualified factory and equipment
• A factory have its technique which is modern enough and productivity which is big enough according to factory’s scale
• A factory has the ability to confirm quality of hair at the standard requirements – very easy, reliable wholesale hair vendors factories produce the hair, so quality is in their calculation
• A factory has enough human resources (managers and labors) to run the factory

You can also consult this post to get more knowledge about the differences as well as a clear table of comparison between a wholesale hair factory distributor and a retail hair vendor: Wholesale hair factory distributors vs. Resell wholesale hair vendors

After all, beginners in wholesale hair vendors should choose to be resellers. This choice is apparently more simple and less costly than the choice to hold a factory. Knowing this, this text will focus on sharing the experience to become successful resell wholesale hair vendors.

1.3. Price range of hair extensions from worldwide wholesale hair vendors factories

After learning about the characteristics of all wholesale hair vendors factories above, you must have some imagination about their relative prices, right! And to help you know more clearly, here is the synthesis of prices of wholesale hair vendors factories worldwide.

1.3.1. Overall of price lists of wholesale hair vendors

As we can see, Chinese wholesale hair vendors factories work in an industrial scale and use unqualified hair sources (as mentioned earlier), the price is pretty cheap, even for the high quality 9A hair. So, here are some advices for sellers to consider before purchasing Chinese Hair:

• If you want to import hair from cheap sources and hair usually is usually in stock, than Chinese wholesale hair vendors factories are good choices

1.4. A variety of hair products of wholesale hair vendors

When learning about the overall market, one important thing to master is all kinds of hair extensions that are sold in the current market. Especially for newbie wholesale hair vendors resellers, many terms are so unfamiliar, but you’d better remember and understand the nature of all of them to hold your business. The following is the very short, basic and necessary information you need to firstly understand.

1.4.1. Human hair vs. synthetic hair

• Human hair, as its name implies, is hair cut from human (raw hair). There are many kinds of human hair that have different qualities. They are virgin, remy and non remy hair:
  • Virgin hair: hair of one donor, has never been chemically processed and still keeps the cuticles. It is therefore the most qualified hair and suitable for styling and also the best choice of wholesale hair vendors.

• • Remy hair: hair of 2 or more donors that has been mixed, then it is not as good as virgin hair. However, the quality in general is still okay.
  • Non-remy hair: hair that is mixed up, not of the same direction and of very bad quality. It is easily tangled and shedding, so prestigious wholesale hair vendors tend to not choose to sell it.

To differentiate these 3 kinds of hair, you can consult the 3rd part of this useful post: Three hair types of Vietnamese hair

• Synthetic hair is also called man-made hair. It is not natural human hair, so artificial technology cannot give it true cuticles or silky and healthy hair nature. After a period of time, synthetic hair will be soon worn-out.

1.4.2. Popular types of hair extensions

There are a variety of hair extensions styles that you should know:

• Ponytail hair extensions: one choice of extensions that make users’ ponytail looks thicker and longer
• Clip in hair extensions: hair extensions that usually include one or more pieces, are temporarily used to make hair look fuller
• Tape in hair extensions: semi-permanent hair extensions which are thinly spread in a special piece of tape for users to stick to their natural hair
• Tip in hair extensions: similar uses as tape in hair extensions, but the hair is sticked on users’ hair with metal cylinders
• Weft hair extensions: hair that is sewn into a line used to stick on human hair or to make wigs
• Closure/frontal hair extensions: arrays of hair consist of hairs plugged in a holey fabric, used to cover bald-headed or to make wigs
• Wigs: complete hair extensions to cover the full head, usually made of 3 bundles and 1 closure/frontal

All of these types have their own characteristics and different files of potential customers. You as wholesale hair vendors resellers ought to do research carefully for each type instead of only reading this very basic synthetic information!

II. Factors affect B2B wholesale hair vendors

If you are to start your own reselling hair business, then B2B is a considerable choice. One of the most important things is that you know all the factors of this business form to make the most use of this. And another thing even more important is to decide which factors heavily affect this business form to prepare the best plan. So now, we will give you overall information of B2B first, in case you haven’t got time to research much, and then there will be the important factors affecting B2B wholesale hair vendors that you need to consider.

2.1. Overview of B2B – benefits of choosing top B2B wholesale hair vendors distributors

What is B2B wholesale?

B2B stands for business to business; we can understand that wholesale companies sell products in quantities to other companies.

What factors are the benefits of choosing B2B wholesale hair vendors as your distributors?

• Variety of products: factories can provide you with various models, and you can even have special model on order

• Guaranteed quality: you can surely check samples beforehand to ensure the quality, which is of the most concern of every seller
• NO INTERMEDIARIES: this pretty much helps you save expenses and time, hence getting more profits
• Clear customer service: guarantee, shipment, payment, advice…
• Ability to have online transactions: This is a super convenience; working online gives you the chance to bargain about the price, quality as well as requirement. You can thereby easily have more discussion with the wholesale hair vendors to make sure that your partners can meet all your demands. As a result, the possibility of building a long term relationship is also increased

As we can see B2B hair vendors can bring about lots of benefits. Then, the point is, how and where to find such a reliable distributor? You’d better find the answer here: Find a Suitable Hair Supplier

2.2. Factors affect B2B wholesale hair vendors

There are many factors that have influences on B2B wholesale hair vendors, you’d better do research beforehand to prepare for your business in the best way! The following are 4 most considerable factors that we want to share.

2.2.1. Supplier sources

You know that B2B wholesale hair vendors can make their deals with businesses all over the world. Although it can bring about lots of benefits as analyzed above, there is an outstanding issue of how to find the right wholesale hair factory to be the main supplier in such a large world. Two most important factors are price and quality of the hair extensions. Once you find for yourself a factory which seems to offer good quality and price, but actually you still cannot check the true quality of the hair source of those hair extensions. Under the treatment of chemicals, hair extension products can look very silky, smooth and tangle-free, but you cannot forecast when the quality will seriously degrade. As mentioned in the part about sources of hair extensions, many wholesale hair vendors factories such as Chinese and Indian ones cannot guarantee a really high quality of hair.

So, you’d better always make sample orders to make sure that both the price and quality meet your demands. Below are the categories of hair that you can consider to make sample orders.

Sample for wholesale hair vendors

2.2.2. Shipment

Another factor that affects B2B wholesale hair vendors is the shipping issue. Just imagine, you find out a very qualified factory, but there is no way to deliver hair extensions from its country to your country. Or the shipping is very difficult and costly due to many customs policies. Then how to solve the problem? The only answer is that you do research beforehand about the shipment, then only concentrate on finding suitable factories in possible shipping regions to save time and effort. Here are some findings that we researched before:

• For African wholesale hair vendors resellers, remember that most of the cargo is imported to Africa by air and sea. So, you’d better choose suppliers from Asia. The distance is much shorter and shipping policy is easier. For example, when importing hair extensions from Vietnam, Nigerian resellers can choose between slow or quick shipping agencies which are specially built for them. Other resellers can use UPS or DHL to get their goods delivered.
• In Great Britain, hair extensions usually come from Indian wholesale hair vendors. But it is the story of many years ago, when people thought that Indian hair quality is the most similar to Western people’s and the natural blond hair from Russia is too rare and expensive. Now, when the quality of hair is more clearly learned, importing now needs to base on convenient shipment.

• Actually, another effective way to research shipping policy of different suppliers is to concentrate on only the difficulties to find out the best choice. You can consult these findings:
  • Chinese shipping: in 2021, cost of shipping by containers increased 5 times. Over the years, the delay issue is increasing, some shipments of wholesale hair vendors can be delayed for as many as 2-3 months. This can be said as an impact of Covid-19 from 2019. The pandemic first started in the Middle of China, which then spread all over the countries, causing deaths to numerous people. Due to the danger of the pandemic, all borders needed to be closed, which made goods stuck in Chinese border and cannot go through customers

• • Indian shipping: got influences due to the arrival of European corporations during the colonial time, even when independent, “there are only 59 big and small ships with less than 2 lakh tons of GRT”
  • Vietnamese shipping: in 2016 unbalanced fleet proportions are recorded, but after 5 years, many policies are enacted to solve the problem
  • Myanmar shipping: logistics is still a challenge; for example, there is not enough labor at shipping ports
  • Cambodian shipping: still full of logistics issues

2.2.3. Time of goods produced

For wholesale hair vendors resellers, time of goods produced is such an issue. How to find suppliers that have a short time of production but still meet the demand of quality when dealing in B2B form is really hard. Actually, you often have to choose between a quick but producing unqualified hair distributor and a not quick but producing qualified hair distributor. So here are your options:

• Quick but producing unqualified hair factories:

• • Chinese wholesale hair vendors factories: it is no surprise that such industrial-scale-suppliers as Chinese always have hair extensions in stock. Whenever you want, they can most of the time have the models you want. However, due to the long time being in stock as well as being made from unqualified sources of hair, these hair extension products are of very low quality.
  • India wholesale hair vendors factories: also the suppliers of Chinese ones. Due to bad quality hair and simple production, the time needed to produce hair is not long, yet you know what is the trade-off!

• Not very quick but producing qualified hair factories:

The suppliers meet the demand of quality and still have a reasonable time of producing, unbiasedly can be said to be Vietnamese wholesale hair vendors factories. As analyzed a lot above, hair sources of Vietnam are from young women of mountainous areas, which are collected and processed only when there are orders. As a result, the hair is always fresh and keeps its natural high quality. Through the hands of skillful workers, all the hair is treated carefully, which can take a bit of a long time but what you can get is high-quality products. Here is the picture of Vietnamese wholesale hair vendors factory – K-Hair.

A Vietnamese hair factory you can consult is K-Hair factory, which is the top 1 wholesale hair vendors factory in Vietnam. This factory is where high-end hair extensions are produced and exported to many countries in the world. K-Hair is now the prestigious partner of lots of resellers in Africa as well as US UK. So, many resellers trust and choose K-Hair, it means the quality is great and the time of producing hair is acceptable. If you feel interested, you can consult its official channels here:

2.2.4. Impacts of Covid-19 on B2B wholesale hair vendors

Covid-19, the pandemic started in December 2019 in WuHan, China, was widely spread and has caused enormous effects on the economy worldwide, especially the economy in Asia. The wholesale hair vendors business is not an exception. The pandemic caused some significant changes to this industry, and the 3 most significant countries affected in Asia are China, India and Vietnam:

• China – the origin of the pandemic – is undoubtedly affected the most. For the first time suffering from such a terrible pandemic, Chinese hair factories were almost frozen. No production or export activities could happen. As a result, Chinese from one of the biggest hair suppliers for resellers all over the world then became powerless in the industry.
