How to spot real raw Vietnamese hair before you pay
Five checks on a sample bundle that protect your business and your reputation.
Many bundles are sold as raw. These checks take ten minutes on a sample and tell you what you are buying.
1. Wash it first
Silicone makes processed hair shine on arrival and go dull after one wash. Raw hair looks the same, or better.
2. Feel the cuticle
Slide your fingers from the ends towards the weft: slightly rough going up, smooth coming down.
3. Burn a few strands
Human hair burns slowly and leaves soft ash. Synthetic fibre melts into hard beads.
4. Look at the ends
Single-donor hair has ends that vary a little. Perfectly identical ends on a raw bundle are a warning sign.
5. Ask for lot photos
A factory that controls its hair can photograph your actual order before it ships. We do this for every order.
