Quality

The AUCO Standard

Quality should be something you can see, touch and verify.

Why quality matters

Your customers judge you by the hair

For a hair business, every bundle, wig or extension carries its name. Hair that tangles, sheds or loses its texture costs more than a return: it costs trust.

That is why AUCO treats quality as a set of checks that can be explained and verified, not as a promise.

How AUCO defines quality

Eight checkpoints

The AUCO Standard is the framework we use to check hair from origin to packing. Each checkpoint below describes what we look at and why.

Detailed test protocols are being documented with our production partners and will be published here. Until then, the best way to verify AUCO quality is to test a sample yourself.

01

Hair Origin

Knowing where hair comes from is the first condition of quality. AUCO works with Vietnamese human hair and records origin as part of its process.

02

Cuticle Alignment

Cuticles that run in one direction help hair stay smooth and resist tangling. Alignment is checked as hair is sorted and wefted.

03

Fullness

How evenly hair holds its thickness from top to ends depends on drawn grade. Fullness is checked against the grade a buyer has ordered.

04

Shedding Test

Wefts and lace pieces are checked for loose strands before approval.

05

Wash Test

Hair is washed to see how it behaves after the first wash, including texture, shine and feel.

06

Bleach Test

For buyers who colour hair, sample swatches can be tested to show how the hair responds to lightening.

07

Texture Test

Textured hair is checked to confirm the pattern holds as expected after washing and drying.
