Shade & Texture Samples

Compare shade and texture before a full-size order

$10 retail samples are small evaluation strands shipped by regular mail with postage included and no additional shipping charge. They help you compare shade, texture, movement, and feel, but cannot demonstrate full-install density. Research hair tresses are not sold through this checkout.

Not sure how to judge quality? Read the Hair Quality Testing Guide — strand tests, cuticle alignment, and shedding & tangle checks to run on your sample before you commit.

Try the hair before you commit. Order a low-cost tester of any Prarvi texture or shade and judge it in your own hands and light — cuticle-intact Indian donor hair, never acid-washed — before buying a full set.

A sample lets you:

  • Match your shade & texture against your own hair before you order length and quantity.
  • Check the quality — softness, cuticle alignment, and how it holds up to a wash and a strand test (see the guide above).
  • De-risk a bigger order — confirm the match, then go full-size or request salon and wholesale pricing.

Samples ship from our New Jersey workshop. Not sure which to try? Find your shade & texture match and we'll point you to the right tester.

Sample hair before a larger order

Shade & Texture Samples help retail shoppers, stylists, and salons compare texture, shade, movement, and feel before a larger order. Each $10 sample is an evaluation strand shipped by regular mail with postage included and no additional shipping charge. It is not install hair and cannot show full-install density. Laboratory hair tresses are quoted separately through the Research Tresses enquiry.

Lower-risk testing

Use samples to compare touch, movement, and color in real lighting before committing to extensions, wigs, or recurring salon stock. Samples are not install hair and will not show full density or final styled volume.
