Best hair extensions are always affordable on a long term usage. If you are looking for good quality hair extensions, you need to look for raw hair which is primarily human hair without any treatment done. Those hair extensions are available at slightly more expensive prices compared to cuticle free hair, but they are unlikely to tangle or shed or cause any other problems and in long term use they are totally more reasonable. They are one time spend.

 Whom you partner with, how you sell and what is your expectation from a business are all critical. But there are a lot of hair extensions startups who have no idea on what the product is and they fall in trap of suppliers which are unscrupulous and purchase poor quality inventory on cheap prices. Most of these new startups end up losing customers as the hair quality is not good and customer can buy this product from Chinese suppliers directly.

If you have the right partner, who is willing to help and support you with right quality products, than only you can make money. I work with 100s of successful partners and find that key to success is in right customer service coupled with right supplier.

Most of it is coming from voluntary donations in Indian temple or collection of fallen hair by households and selling it via a supply chain to china. There is some bit of challenge in China where the cost of labor went up and they started using North Korean labor to reduce cost especially for closures and frontals. However outside of that, it is a very labor intensive work and creates a lot of jobs for families in India, Bangladesh (mainly hair cleansing and toupee making), Vietnam, Indonesia and China

Packs are primarily moving via the traditional supply chain of beauty supply stores. They are done by large companies which are using non-remy hair and selling it in packs as brands. The hair quality in packs is typically cheaper compared to virgin hair.

The hair industry was earlier primarily using Kanekalon fiber and later slowly incorporated multiple products. This industry than slowly moved to china with cheaper Chinese labor. The retail stores selling pack hair were still controlled by Koreans. Over time, the Chinese started opening small companies of them and used channels like Ali baba and Ali express to sell bundles and small quantities to USA creating an alternative supply chain.

Earlier the quantity of bundle hair was better compared to packs as the cost of supply chain was lower. While both the supply chains primarily supplied non Remy products, the quantity ratios were better in Bundles. Thus, the cost of bundle hair per piece was lower compared to packed hair.

The alternative source of bundle hair is India where few select companies like Natural Indian Virgin Remy Hair Wigs or Extensions started marketing of virgin hair as bundles but building their overall brand outside of the retail supply chain. This hair sold as bundle hair primarily goes to hair stylists and salons that rebrand and sell it as their product. Lot of hair stylists and salons join the partner or wholesaler program Wholesale Hair Extensions: Indian hair manufacturer Indian Hair Vendor and resell the hair. The advantage of the bundle is that it is a White Label product and can be resold as individual brand.

So while there is no clear quality difference between bundled hair and packed hair, sourcing it correctly from right supplier of bundled hair can allow hair stylists / salons to build their own brand. While doing it wrongly and going to ali express etc, can ruin their brand reputation.

 The most important critical factors of doing any business is having good knowledge of the product, sourcing and finding the right supplier partners who can stand with you, guarantee the product quality, and are willing to listen to your concerns. 

1. What is the product you want to source?

2. What different type of qualities exist in the product?

3. Is your supplier sufficiently transparent to you or singing common names like Brazilian, Peruvian or Malaysian which even does not exist? 

4. Do you understand the difference between the variety of hair types?

5. What is the process of hair sourcing, quality control and texture creation your supplier follow?

6. Is your supplier also making any value-added product like colored hair or Wigs?

7. How strong is the reputation of your supplier?

8. Is the supplier in the USA or overseas? Is he/she registered in the USA for selling the product?

9. Is your wholesaler having a manufacturing plant or not?

 Prarvi manufacturing of hair and hair pieces is focused on providing quality services, products and income addition to hair stylists and salons. We started with an idea that high-quality products will attract repeated business for our clients and hence we focused on that. We have overtime added variety of schemes and products lines to support the needs of the hair-stylists and salon owners. We have upgraded our quality further and added new capabilities in India for the manufacturing of complex wigs. I come from a background in chemical engineering, so I could understand hair from that perspective. But over time, I developed my deep insight in designing and understanding the hair products and built high-quality net sourcing. I developed clearer patterns of knotting of hairs and precise lines of hair patterns for invisible front lines. I further added manufacturing of front lace, full lace and all other patterns in India when everyone around me said that you should manufacture this in China. It has been a fascinating journey of knowledge, design, and capability to build out for me to manufacture complex hair pieces. I am still perfecting the art and science of wig measurements, hair loss piece measurements and converting them into the best possible design with right mechanical and aesthetic properties. While purchasing from China could have been a very easy route, I was never sure that I will be able to make a quality promise to my clients. My promise to be true to myself never allowed me to take shortcuts on the manufacturing side and I think that has what has led to the popularity of my brand, my client's businesses and the success that Prarvi has achieved over last 30 months.
