Starting a hair business in South Africa with your first 10 bundles
What to order first, how to photograph it and how to keep your stock moving without tying up cash.
Most of the hair businesses we supply started on WhatsApp and Instagram with a handful of bundles. Here is how the successful ones planned their first order.
Start with two textures
Bone straight and body wave cover most requests. Add pixie curls or blonde once you know what your clients ask for.
Buy the middle lengths
- Two bundles each of 16, 18 and 20 in in your main texture.
- One frontal or closure for every three bundles.
- Keep one bundle aside to show and to photograph.
Show the real hair
Clients trust photos and videos of the actual hair, in daylight, washed and styled. Our lot photos are a good start; your own videos are better.
Reorder little and often
A small monthly order keeps cash free and lets you follow what sells. We hold your lot so colour and texture match from one order to the next.
