How to Buy Vietnamese Hair Wholesale: A Guide for Hair Businesses

Why do hair businesses buy hair from Vietnam?

Vietnam is a long-standing source of human hair for the international trade. Much of the hair sold as Vietnamese comes from Northern Vietnam, where hair is collected, sorted and prepared for export.

Buyers look for Vietnamese hair because it is often sold raw or with little processing, which gives salons, wig makers and brands more control over colour, texture and construction. That reputation is also why the market has many sellers of very different quality, so the way you buy matters as much as where you buy.

What should you decide before you contact a supplier?

Suppliers can only quote accurately when your request is specific. Before you send an inquiry, write down the points in the table below. A clear brief also makes it easier to compare quotes from different suppliers line by line.

What do raw, virgin, Remy and drawn grades mean?

These words are used loosely in the hair trade, and two sellers can mean different things by the same label. Use the general meanings below as a starting point, then ask each supplier to define the terms in writing for your order.

How do you find and verify a Vietnamese hair supplier?

Start with a short list of suppliers you can actually check, not the longest list you can find. A supplier worth working with will be glad to answer these points before you pay anything.

1. Check the business details: company name, office address, email and a working phone or WhatsApp number.
2. Ask to see the production process, from sorting and wefting to quality control and packing, on a video call or during a visit.
3. Ask for a video call to see the hair, ideally the lot you are discussing, rather than relying on edited photos.
4. Ask for real photos and videos of the hair in daylight, including the ends of the bundles.
5. Ask how the supplier handles a problem with an order, and get the answer in writing.
6. Order samples before any bulk order, and compare the bulk delivery with the samples you approved.

At AUCO HAIR, hair is sorted, prepared, checked and packed in Hiep Hoa, Bac Ninh, in the heart of Northern Vietnam's hair-making region, and every order is handled directly by the AUCO team, from specification to delivery.

What should a wholesale quote include?

A quote is only useful if you can compare it with others. Ask every supplier to cover the same points, in writing:

• Price for each item, with the category, texture, length, colour and drawn grade stated.
• Weight per bundle or per piece, so quantities can be compared.
• Packaging, including any private label work.
• Shipping method and destination, and whether shipping is included in the price.
• Payment terms and the stages at which payment is due.
• Production and delivery timing, as a commitment for your specific order.
• What happens if the hair you receive does not match the agreed specification.

Be careful with any quote that is far below the others. In hair, a price that looks too good usually means a different grade, a lighter weight or processed hair sold under a raw label.

How should you test samples before a bulk order?

Samples are the cheapest way to avoid an expensive mistake. Test them the way your own customers will use the hair:

• Wash and condition the hair, then let it dry naturally to see the true texture.
• Run your fingers from the ends towards the top: Remy hair should not feel rough in one direction.
• Check shedding and tangling after washing and brushing.
• Compare the fullness of the top and the ends with the drawn grade you were quoted.
• If you plan to lighten the hair, test a small strand first with your own colour process.
• Keep part of each approved sample so you can compare it with the bulk order when it arrives.

What are the red flags when buying hair wholesale?

• No business address, or contact only through one social media account.
• Refusal to do a video call or to show the actual hair.
• Only edited or studio photos, never real photos of the stock.
• Prices far below other suppliers for the same specification.
• Pressure to pay quickly, or payment requested to a personal account that does not match the business name.
• Vague answers about what raw, virgin or Remy mean for your order.
• No written specification or invoice before production starts.
