Raw vietnamese hair

Raw Vietnamese hair is 100% unprocessed hair collected directly from a single donor, typically from women in high-altitude rural areas. Unlike Indian or Chinese hair, it is known for being naturally thick, strong, and silky due to the local climate and traditional hair care routines. It has not undergone any chemical, steam, or heat treatment, ensuring the cuticles remain intact and aligned in one direction, which prevents tangling and shedding.

In the Vietnamese market, quality is categorized by 'drawn' levels: Single Drawn (contains various hair lengths, thinner at the ends), Double Drawn (more uniform length, thicker ends), and Super Double Drawn (approx. 85-90% of strands are the same length for maximum fullness). Ensure the hair is Remy quality and check for elasticity and tensile strength, which allows the hair to be bleached to #613 blonde without significant damage.

Buyers should prioritize suppliers who provide Ethical Sourcing Certifications to ensure hair is collected voluntarily. For international trade, verify that the supplier provides a Fumigation Certificate and a Certificate of Origin. Ensure the products meet REACH standards if exporting to the EU, confirming no harmful chemicals were used during the cleaning or sorting process.

Perform a Burn Test: natural hair turns to ash and smells like burning protein, while synthetic blends melt into a hard bead. Conduct a Cuticle Scrape Test: use a blade to gently scrape the hair shaft; a white powdery residue indicates a healthy cuticle. Finally, check for Natural Color Variation; since it is raw, bundles should have slight brownish or off-black tints rather than a uniform 'jet black' chemical dye look.

The primary risk is 'Mixed Quality', where suppliers blend raw hair with 'fallen hair' (non-remy) or synthetic fibers to reduce costs. Another risk is Weight Fraud, where the net weight of the hair is less than the 100g standard due to heavy rubber bands. To mitigate this, use Made-in-China.com's Secured Trading services and request a pre-shipment video inspection showing the weight of each bundle on a digital scale.

Vietnamese suppliers are often open to tiered pricing. For bulk orders (e.g., >5kg), you can typically negotiate a 5-10% discount. For new buyers, request a Sample Kit MOQ (usually 3 bundles) at a wholesale rate before committing to a large volume. Always negotiate based on 'Gram Weight' and 'Length' specific pricing to ensure transparency.

Hair products are often subject to strict customs inspections regarding biological materials. Ensure the supplier uses reputable couriers like FedEx, DHL, or UPS for door-to-door delivery, which usually takes 3-7 business days. The commercial invoice must clearly state '100% Human Hair' and the correct HS Code (6703.00) to avoid clearance delays or excessive duties.

Avoid direct bank transfers to unknown individuals. Utilize Escrow-based payment systems provided by platforms like Made-in-China.com, which hold funds until you confirm receipt of the goods. Additionally, look for Audited Suppliers who have undergone third-party onsite inspections to verify their factory scale and production capacity.
