100 human hair

The most reliable method is the Burn Test: human hair turns to ash and smells like burning protein, while synthetic hair melts into a hard plastic bead and smells like chemicals. Additionally, check the cuticle direction; high-quality Remi hair should have cuticles running in one direction to prevent tangling. You should also verify the bleaching ability—genuine 100% human hair can be bleached to #613 blonde, whereas blends will show uneven coloring or fiber melting.

While '10A' or '12A' are marketing terms, you should focus on Single Drawn vs. Double Drawn standards. Double Drawn hair contains a higher percentage of full-length hairs, providing thickness from root to tip. Ensure the supplier complies with ISO 9001 for processing and check for SGS or Intertek certification to confirm no synthetic mixing. For colored hair, ensure the use of acid-free dyes to maintain hair elasticity and prevent shedding.

For lace wigs, the lace type (HD Lace or Swiss Lace) and knot ventilation (single vs. double knots) are crucial for a natural look. For hair extensions (I-tips, U-tips, or Tape-ins), the quality of the Italian Keratin glue or the medical-grade adhesive tape is vital to ensure a 6-8 week hold without damaging the client's natural hair. Always request a weight verification to ensure bundles are a true 100g net weight excluding packaging.

The biggest risk is 'Material Substitution', where suppliers mix animal hair (like yak) or high-temperature fibers into the bundles. To mitigate this, use Made-in-China.com's Secured Trading services and insist on a pre-shipment inspection. Another risk is weight fraud; always clarify if the quoted price is for net weight or includes packaging. Always start with a sample order to test the hair's longevity after multiple washes.

Focus your negotiation on Quality Consistency rather than just the lowest price. Request a Quality Assurance Agreement that defines the percentage of short hairs allowed in a bundle. Ask for volume-based discounts (e.g., 5-10% off for orders over 50kg) and negotiate for replacement guarantees if the hair matts or tangles within the first 30 days of use. Establishing a relationship with Verified Suppliers on Made-in-China.com provides an extra layer of accountability.

Human hair is often subject to veterinary or sanitary inspections in certain countries. Ensure the supplier provides a Fumigation Certificate and a Certificate of Origin to smooth customs clearance. For shipping to the US or Europe, use FedEx or DHL for small batches (under 20kg) due to their expertise in handling 'sensitive' goods, but for bulk orders, consider Air Freight to a bonded warehouse to optimize import duties and VAT.
