How to find 100% unprocessed virgin human hair suppliers

100% unprocessed virgin human hair, do you really know what its meaning? First, it must be human hair, second, the hair must be virgin, third, the hairs or even one strand can not be processed in any ways. Actually it is hard to get this type of hair, because almost all hairs sold online are more or less processed, I am not saying chemical processing. If the hairs have been chemically processed, then they must not be virgin.

Chemical-free or unprocessed virgin human hair has intact cuticles aligned in the same direction, the hair will not have problems of tangling, shedding and matting if you take good care. Like your own hair, it can be also bleached and dyed to any colors. So, if you have decided to get 100% unprocessed virgin hair, then you are looking for the best grade of hairs in the market. How to find such suppliers that offer this type hair? This is a topic we are going to discuss today.

First, do find a hair factory to cooperate if you have a hair business, skip those distributors. A hair factory has a very complete set of procedures from collecting raw hair materials to end products, they usually have a team to collect raw hair material, everyone in the team has been in this industry for years and gets experiences, they know how to cut, tie and keep the hairs that just collected, to ensure the hairs keep original status with full cuticles not destroyed. Some distributors may also have unprocessed virgin hair, but they also order these hairs from the factory and then sell at higher prices. How to find a hair factory? I think the best place is on Alibaba, there are a lot of hair factories verified selling different grades of hairs. I recommend one, Kabeilu, which has a high reputation in this field.

Second, once you find a hair factory, you need to find the correct hair type because the factory will have a lot of hair products in different grades, you need to find a right person in the hair factory to tell him that you want unprocessed virgin human hair, it is necessary to do a video chat with their sales manager or even the boss because they know products better than the other persons in the factory. Unprocessed virgin human hair is one of the most high-end human hair, not every hair factory offers this type, even the boss has shown you the videos of their hairs and the hairs do look nice in the video, you still can not trust them, the only way is to buy one or several bundles to test by yourself, and the safest payment method is PayPal. Once you receive the hairs and do the test, if you are satisfied with the result, then can buy from them in bulk.

Third, if you want the unprocessed virgin hair, the best hair textures for you to choose from the factory are straight and body wave, especially the straight, because straight hairs have the least treatments during the manufacturing processes, and they almost keep all original features of the hairs that were just cut from the donor, and during the usage of the this straight hair, you almost have no hair issues of tangling, shedding and matting. If you want to try the other hair textures such as tight waves or curly, you need to consider carefully because the wavy or curly textures from some companies can not bounce back after being washed. By the way, almost all blonde hairs are chemically treated, or they won’t feel that silky.

Hair Collecting

The difference between virgin hair distributors and virgin hair manufacturers

There are too many websites selling hair products on the internet, some of them are hair manufaturers, but most are distributors, if you want to find a supplier to keep a long cooperation, a hair manufacturer is a better choice than a hair distributor. Both hair manufacturer and hair distributor can be called hair supplier or hair vendor, hair manufacturer is also known as hair factory, they directly supply hair products for more than one distributors, a hair manufacturer also sells their hair products online. Hair manufacturer has price advantage. While the hair products sold by a hair distributor may come from different hair factories, their products are usually more than the hair manufacturer, but because the products are coming from more than one hair manufacturer, the quality also varies, the hair distributor must take more time to do quality control on their hair products, and they usually sell at high prices than hair factory.

A lot of vendors’ websites have “about us” section saying they are hair factory or manufacturer in this industry, do you believe that? Do not trust them easily if you are really finding a hair factory for your business. On Youtube, Instagram and Tiktok, there are tons of reviews about hair vendors or hair companies, these places are also not good places to find a good hair supplier because most reviews are fake. By the way, the United States is one of the biggest hair markets, but there are no real hair manufacturers in the United States, most vendors there are importing hair products from China.

Hair manufacturer in China must have lot of different workshops.

What is the best grade of virgin hair?

Do you know the best grade? Actually I have no idea about this. In the hair market, you have seen a lot of numbers to describe the grades of the virgin hair, such as 8a, 9a, 10a, 11a, 12a, some even used 15a or 16a to describe their hairs, in one of my articles I posted before, I said these grades are meaningless, a higher number does not mean a better quality. However, virgin hair is indeed divided into several grades, so, how do you know which one is the best?

First, what type of virgin hairs your vendor usually sells to you? I mean the source of the hairs they collected. Among so many hair sources such as Chinese hair, Malaysian hair, India hair, Vietnamese hair, Burmese hair, the best quality is Chinese hair. So if you vendor usually collects hair material in China and sells hair products that are made with Chinese hair, then you are very lucky, you have found a very good hair vendor, the quality is trusted. Each strand of the Chinese hairs is usually thicker than that of other types of hairs, they are not easy to break, the virgin hair products made with Chinese hairs have minimal shedding and tangling, they also last for a very long time.

However, for the hair products made with Chinese hair, there are also different grades, whose difference lies in the weight of the hair? Take the weave or bundle for example, usually one bundle weighs about 95 grams, 97 grams or even 100 grams. Before placing your order with the vendor, you need to ask them how much the weight per hair bundle they are providing, Otherwise you may not get a satisfied result. For example, you expected the hair to be 100 grams per bundle, while the three bundles you just received are less than 300 grams so you can not get a full hair look, that’s the bad communication between you and your hair vendor that results in this dissatisfaction. If you have asked them first, perhaps they really provide the better quality 100-gram bundle. 100-gram bundle is not the best grade, some clients require more advanced double drawn hair, which guarantees that the wearer will get a hair look thick from top to ends.

So, in my opinion, if you insist on asking the best grade of virgin hair, I think the only answer is double drawn Chinese hair.

Are there really Brazilian human hairs in the market

Brazilian hair, you may be very familiar with these two words, in the past, almost every company that dealt with hairs would tell you that they have Brazilian hair in stock, now, many hair companies still use “Brazilian hair” in the title of the hair products on their websites, it seems like Brazilian hair never out of date. However, I have a question, does Brazilian hair really exist? I mean, are these hair products sold by the Chinese hair companies really made with Brazilian hair?

As far as I know, China and India are the top two hair exporters in the world, and the hair companies or stores you are buying from Aliexpress, Amazon or USA local boutiques are usually from China or use the hairs imported from China or India. So, these hair companies will use Brazilian hairs to make their hair products? I do not think so. First, checking the position of China and Brazil on the world map, one in the Asia and the other is in the South America, there is a big distance, if you collect hairs in Brazil and then ship to your hair factory in China, the cost will be very high because there will be a heavy custom duty. So, I’d rather believe thant Brazilian hair does not exist. But why many hair companies still use “Brazilian hair” in the title of their hair products? Because this can attract buyers and promote them to place orders. Several years ago, I do not know which hair company was the first to use “Brazilian hair”, but it is still very hot nowadays.

So, if there are no Brazilian hairs in this industry, what do the hair materials mainly come from? I think there are three big sources, China, India and Vietnam. And China must be the biggest source to get the raw hair materials. And the hair products you have bought are usually made with Chinese hair, among the three big hair sources, I think Chinese hair has the highest quality. So, the Brazilian hair bundles or wigs you bought from some hair dealer before actually use Chinese hair, many hair companies have told you that they have Brazilian Hair and Peruvian Hair in stock, in most cases these two types of hairs are using Chinese hair material.

The meaningless hair grades

Do you really know the grades of human hair? I think you must see 8A, 9A, 10A, 11A, 12A and even 15A on the title of hair products on vendors websites, do they really stand for the real grades of the human hair? I do not think so, and I think they are meaningless. In my opinion, the real grade only describes the quality of the human hair, it can be divided into virgin hair, remy hair and non-remy hair, virgin hair is the best grade. So, the real grade in human hair does not mean “the higher the number, the higher the grade is”, this is a wrong view and may become a wrong guide when you are going to purchase.

For example, on some vendors price list, they say their bundles are 16A, but on the price list of some other vendors, the highest grade is 11A, so you will choose 16A, is that a right choice? Maybe if the 16A really has a higher quality than the 11a of the other vendor, but there is also another possibility, which is the 16A has the same quality or even worse quality than the 11A, but you finally bought 16A hairs at much higher price, this sounds bad. So, I said such digital hair grades are meaningless.

However, within one hair company, there may be different grades of human hairs described in 10A, 11A and 12A, the higher the number, the higher the grade is, this is true. To meet customers various needs, a lot of hair vendors will keep different grades of hairs in their warehouse, for example, they use 10A to stand for non-remy hair, use 11A to mark their remy hair products, and then 12A means virgin hair products in their company. So, if you want the best hair, then choose 12A grade. But some companies may use 15A or 16A to represent their best virgin hair, this is normal.

The following are examples, two scams, both said they are selling 15A raw hair, but do you think you can buy a 30in double drawn bundle at $31? Or you can buy three double drawn hair bundles of 20in at only $110?

What are return hairs?

When buying a closure, a frontal or a wig, you may have noticed the short hairs on the top, for example, on the top of a closure, many customers have complained this issue to their hair vendors, they do not like too many short hairs on their wigs, they want perfect wigs. Actually return hairs are normal for every closure and frontal as well as wig, almost each of them has return hairs, which do not mean low quality. Whether the closure or wig is handmade or machine made, there will be return hairs. When making a wig or a closure, the hair is knotted onto the wig base or the lace base, the short hairs will occur. For example, please check the picture below, a hair strand in 20 inches will be tied onto the lace base, a short piece on one side of the knot is about 5 inches, the longer piece on the other side is 15 inches. Hair vendors have been using this method to make lace closures and wig for a long time, this can save them a lot of manufacturing cost. No hair vendor is willing to use the left knotting method on the picture because the cost will be very large.

Too many return hairs will cause unnatural wearing experience, you can snip them with scissors. If you buy a human hair wig, in most cases the wig is made with Chinese hairs that are stiff, then you will see a lot flyaways at the top, you will need to tame them using flat iron. There are a lot of ways to tame, try to search on Youtube.

What is hair weaving?

Human Hair Patterns

Weave, weft and bundle, you may have heard these three words when purchasing hair products online, actually I do not know their difference and always think they are the same products. What is a hair bundle? It is a collection of many hair strands, which are sewn together by machine or hand tied, usually one bundle is 100 grams or customized according to customers’ requirement. Once the bundle being unfolded, then it becomes a weave or weaving in front of your eyes. The best hair weave or bundle in the market is made with raw human hairs whose cuticles aligned in the same direction.

The manufacturing of hair weaves is not simple, from collecting raw hair materials to finished products, there are a series of processes to follow, during the entire processes, will chemicals be used? I think yes, but not too much chemials will be used to wash the hairs just collected. So, I think there are no 100% non-chemical processed hairs in the market.

About the textures or patterns of hair weaves, there are usually three types, straight, wavy and curly, under the categories of wavy and curly, there are other patterns such as water wave, loose wave, deep wave, deep curly, kinky curly. With the help of high-temperature steam and some tools, the wavy and curly patterns are easy to be achieved. But not all patterns from all hair companies can always keep their original status. The wavy or curly patterns on some hairs may become not wavy or curly after being washed.

The Chinese hair factories

For your hair business, do you want to come to China and visit some hair factories? I think some of you will say yes. There are a lot of hair factories in China, but not every city in China makes hair products, basically speaking, there are four hair manufacturing bases in China, they are Shandong, Henan, Anhui and Guangdong. And in each province, there are two or three cities that make hair products. So, if coming to China, hope you have selected a right city to visit so that you can find the exact hair products you want, after reading this article, you may have a basic knowledge about the hair production bases in China.

First, there are three places in Shandong that have hair factories, they are Qingdao, Jiaozhou and Heze, These hair factories in Shandong mainly manufacture high-end hair wigs and bundles, some only make hair extensions such as clip ins for the white people. Seaforest and Jinda are two big hair companies in Qingdao. Seaforest has a more complete product lines that cover hair extensions, wigs, hair pieces and toupees. While Jinda mainly produces hair extensions, mens toupee and wigs.

Second, it is Xuchang city in Henan. Xuchang is the most famous city in this field and you may have known this place, Xuchang is the largest hair production base in the world, almost half of the hair products sold in the United States are actually made in Xuchang. There are a lot of hair factories there, they mainly produce virgin hair wefts and hair extensions. Here I recommend three factories, they are Senyuan, Hongyang Shenghua Industry and Penghui. Xuchang in Henan is also the most important hair production base in China, I will write an article to give a more detailed review about the hairs in Xuchang.

What is hair density?

20% Hair Density
40% Hair Density

60% Hair Density
80% Hair Density

There is hair density on the bundles, closures, frontals and wigs, simply speaking, the hair density means how many hair strands are there in a square centimeter. There are usually 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%, 120%, 140%, 160%, 180% and 200% to describe the density.

Look at the pictures below, from top to bottom, left to right, the hair density is 10%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 110%, 120%, 130%, 150%.

The different types of hair materials

I have been in this area for years, according to my knowledge, the materials to make the wigs, toupee and extensions are usually divided into three types, they are human hair, synthetic hair and animal hair.

Chinese Human Hair


Human Hair

According to different origins, there are Chinese hair, Indian hair, Brazilian hair, Burmese hair, Mongolian hair, Vietnamese hair, Russian hair, European hair and so on. Because there is a population of almost 1.4 billion in China, so in the market, the most common hair you see is Chinese hair. The hairs from different origins usually have different features, for example, Chinese hair is a little harder and thicker, while Indian hair and Brazilian hair are softer and thinner. Actually, whether the bundles, closures, wigs or extensions you are buying from the market, they are mostly made with Chinese hair or Indian hair.

Well, human hair is also divided into remy human hair and non-remy human hair. Remy human hair is cut from one single donor or the hair collected that has cuticles aligned in the same direction. While non-remy human hair has disorganized cuticles or destroyed cuticles. Human hair is expensive, the hair products that are made with human hair are much higher than the other two materials.

Kanekalon Synthetic Hair


Synthetic Hair

Synthetic hair also has three types, there are basically Chinese synthetic hair, Korean synthetic hair and Japanese synthetic hair. Each of them has different hand feeling, glossiness, quality and durability. Chinese synthetic hair is the cheapest among these hair, it is usually used in the wigs for models and sports fans. The most expensive is Japanese synthetic hair, whose price is 3 times the price of synthetic hair from China. The most famous synthetic hair company in Japan is Kanekalon.

Animal Hairs


Animal Hair

There are ox hair, mohair and horse hair.

Conclusion:

Human hair has the best hand feeling, it has a natural look, minimal shedding and tangling, human hair can also be dyed, bleached and styled, but its has a very high price and usually the styling shape won’t keep for so long.

Synthetic hair looks brighter, not like your own hair and it has a poor fidelity. You will feel a little itchy when wearing a synthetic hair wig. Wearing synthetic hair will cause more scalp problems. But it is cheap and the styling can keep for a long time.

Animal hair is significantly fluffier than human hair and synthetic hair. Its price is a little higher than synthetic hair. Until now, I have not seen wigs in the market made with animal hair.
