The best hair for extensions depends on the market you sell into. The five variables that decide stock quality, and how to plan a first order.

Raw hair is single-donor human hair with no chemical processing, no steam texturing and the cuticle intact. The four conditions, and three tests you can run on a sample before you order.

Raw hair is one donor, no chemicals, no steam, cuticle intact. Virgin hair only guarantees no chemicals, which leaves multiple donors and steam texturing open. The full comparison, plus four checks to catch a mislabelled bundle before you order.

Hair bundles run from about $8 to $300 each at retail. Here are the live market ranges, the seven things that set the price, and how to read a wholesale quote.

Remy means the cuticles run one direction. That is all it means. Here is what the word covers, what it leaves out, and how to check a wholesale order before you pay for it.

22-inch hair extensions fall around the hip or lower back depending on the wearer's height and texture. For salon owners and distributors, it's one of the most requested lengths year-round: long enough to photograph well, short enough for daily wear. If you're sourcing at wholesale volume, this guide covers what you need to know before placing an order — how the length behaves across textures, gram weights for bulk installs, which extension types work for which clients, and what to check when evaluating a factory. In this guide How long does 22 inch hair actually fall? How many grams do wholesale buyers typically order? Which extension types are available in 22 inches? Why does raw Vietnamese hair perform better at this length? What should you verify before placing a bulk order? What are the MOQ and lead times? FAQ How long does 22 inch hair actually fall? The answer depends on height and texture. On a person between 5'4" and 5'7", straight 22" hair reaches the hip. Wavy hair lands at the lower back. Curly hair sits closer to mid-back because of shrinkage. Texture Placement (avg. height 5'4"–5'7") Straight Hip Wavy Lower back Curly Mid-back For wholesale buyers, this breakdown matters because 22" sells differently by client segment. US salon clients buying tape-ins or flat tips want 22" for a dramatic but blendable result. EU distributors placing larger volume orders tend to go to 22" genius weft for hand-tied installs at weddings and events. Knowing where the length falls helps you pitch it accurately when your stylists are quoting clients. How many grams do wholesale buyers typically order at 22"? 22-inch extensions require more hair per install than shorter lengths because the individual strands carry more weight. Per client install, typical usage at 22" runs: Tape-in: 100g for thin to medium hair, 150–200g for thick hair Flat tip / I-tip: 100–150g depending on the density goal Genius weft: 100g for a standard hand-tied install If you're stocking a salon or supplying stylists on a regular schedule, 500g to 1kg per color and texture combination is a practical starting quantity at 22". It covers 3 to 5 full-head installs, gives you color consistency across clients, and avoids the risk of running a mismatched lot from a second order. For distributors supplying multiple salons, 5kg per SKU across your top 3 to 5 colors is a common entry point for volume pricing discussions. Which extension types are available in 22 inches? AZ Hair Factory produces 22" across all major application methods. Each type targets a different client profile and stylist skill set. Type Application Best for Regular Tape-In Sandwiched to natural hair High-volume salons, fastest installs Flat Tip (keratin) Heat clamp application Individual strand placement, trained stylists I-Tip Micro ring / bead, no heat Clients who avoid heat-based methods Nano Tip Smallest bond, fully hidden Fine hair clients Genius Weft Hand-tied or machine sewn Premium hand-tied installs All types ship in 100g packs, available in lengths 16" to 26", in two grades: Double Drawn (A++) and Super Double Drawn (A+++). Double Drawn means roughly 70–75% of strands run full-length, giving consistent density from root to tip. Super Double Drawn pushes that to 80–85%. At 22", the difference is visible — Super Double Drawn holds its fullness near the ends rather than tapering. Tape-In Extensions Regular Tape-In Hair Extensions 100g 100g per pack. Tape width 2.5cm. Available in 16"–26". Double Drawn (A++) and Super Double Drawn (A+++). 20+ colors. From $40.01 / 100g View 22" Options → Why does raw Vietnamese hair perform better at 22" than processed alternatives? Length is where hair quality shows most clearly. At 22 inches, the strand is further from the root, so it has seen more handling and processing during collection and manufacture. Processed hair — chemically stripped and re-coated to standardize the cuticle — holds up for 3 to 6 months at this length before tangling and dullness become visible to clients. Raw Vietnamese hair keeps the cuticle layer intact from root to tip. All strands in a bundle run in the same direction. That cuticle alignment is what stops matting after washing and what lets the hair hold color without going brassy. AZ Hair sources from Vietnamese women in northern mountain provinces. Single-donor collections. Strands are cuticle-aligned at the sorting stage before any processing begins. The 6-step in-house process — sourcing, sorting and alignment, natural air drying, bleaching, coloring, and final production — runs inside our own factory in Hanoi, with QC between every step. Channel NewsAsia and NPO Netherlands independently verified this supply chain as a true direct manufacturer. That matters at 22" specifically, because the quality difference between raw and processed becomes obvious by month 3 or 4 of a client's wear. Flat Tip (Keratin) Extensions Flat Tip Hair Extensions 100g 100g per pack. Available in 16"–26". Double Drawn (A++) and Super Double Drawn (A+++). Individual strand placement, no visible bonds. From $39.05 / 100g View 22" Options → What should you verify before placing a 22" bulk order? Most Vietnamese hair vendors claim "raw" or "100% Remy." Few can prove it. Before committing to a 22" bulk order — where per-pack costs are higher and quality defects are more visible than at shorter lengths — check these four things. Factory verification. Does the supplier have independently verified credentials? Self-issued certificates mean nothing. Look for a long-term Alibaba Verified Supplier account (AZ Hair has 7 years) and third-party press verification (CNA, NPO Netherlands). Neither can be faked. Sample first. Request a 22" sample in your target texture and grade. Test cuticle alignment by running a strand between two fingers in both directions: it should feel smooth going root-to-tip, resistant going tip-to-root. Check density across the full length. A genuine Super Double Drawn pack has the same thickness at the ends as at the root. Lead time clarity. Is the order made-to-order or from stock? Most 22" orders from a real factory are made-to-order. Expect 10 to 12 working days for production after order confirmation. A vendor promising 2-day delivery on custom 22" color orders is shipping pre-made processed stock. Color matching process. Does the factory work from a physical color ring, or do they use digital swatches? Digital charts are inconsistent. AZ Hair uses a physical color ring for US and EU orders. At 22", a color mismatch across a multi-pack order is visible and affects client satisfaction. What are the MOQ and lead times for 22" wholesale orders? AZ Hair's MOQ is 1 pack (100g) for first orders. No minimum volume requirement for repeat buyers. Order what you need, when you need it. Order type Lead time In-stock colors 1–2 business days Custom colors / large volume 10–12 working days Payment options: Alibaba Trade Assurance (recommended for first-time B2B orders), PayPal, T/T wire transfer. Shipping cost is confirmed before order — no surprises. For distributors placing recurring volume orders, wholesale pricing tiers are available. Contact via WhatsApp to discuss terms before placing your first order. Genius Weft Extensions Genius Weft Hair Extensions 100g 100g per pack. Available in 16"–26". Double Drawn (A++) and Super Double Drawn (A+++). Ideal for hand-tied premium installs. From $56.60 / 100g View 22" Options → Frequently asked questions How long do 22 inch hair extensions last when sourced wholesale from a factory? Raw Vietnamese hair at 22" lasts 12 months or more with standard care. Processed or Remy-labeled hair typically shows tangling, dullness, and shedding within 3 to 6 months at this length. The difference matters to your clients and to your reputation as a supplier or distributor. What is the difference between Double Drawn and Super Double Drawn at 22 inches? Double Drawn (A++) means roughly 70–75% of strands in the pack run the full 22". Super Double Drawn (A+++) pushes that to 80–85%. At 22", Super Double Drawn holds its density near the ends rather than tapering, which is noticeable when the hair is worn down. Most US salon buyers choose Super Double Drawn at this length because the visible fullness justifies a higher price to their clients. What is the difference between tape-in and flat tip at 22 inches for a wholesale buyer? Tape-ins sell faster and suit a broader range of stylist skill levels. Flat tips require specific training but deliver a more individual result with less visible bonds. If you're stocking a new salon, 22" tape-ins are the lower-risk first buy. Flat tips work well where a trained keratin technician is already on staff. Can I order custom colors in 22 inch hair extensions? Yes. AZ Hair produces custom colors from a physical color ring. Production takes 10 to 12 working days after order confirmation and color approval. For US and EU buyers, we ship the color ring on request so you can match exactly before committing to volume.

Quick answer: If you've been sourcing hair extensions, you've seen the numbers. 6A, 8A, 10A, 12A. Higher number, higher quality. That's the claim. Understanding what these grades actually mean (and what they don't) is one of the most useful things you can do before placing a wholesale order. TABLE OF CONTENTS What the grading system is The grade inflation problem What actually determines hair quality How AZ Hair approaches quality Questions to ask any supplier instead of asking about grades FAQ Summary If you've been sourcing hair extensions, you've seen the numbers. 6A, 8A, 10A, 12A. Higher number, higher quality. That's the claim. Understanding what these grades actually mean (and what they don't) is one of the most useful things you can do before placing a wholesale order. What the grading system is The A-grade system started as an informal quality shorthand in the wholesale hair trade. No governing body created it. No certification body enforces it. The labels aren't regulated anywhere in the world. In theory, the grades work like this: 6A: Basic quality. Minimally processed, some cuticle alignment. 8A: Better alignment, less shedding, softer texture. 10A: Premium tier. Intact cuticles, minimal tangling, longer lifespan. 12A: Top tier. Often marketed alongside terms like "raw" or "virgin." In practice, any vendor can assign any grade to any hair. There's no test. No inspector. No standard. The grade inflation problem Ten years ago, 6A was considered premium. Then the market shifted. Vendors started labeling everything 8A to stay competitive. Then 10A became the new ceiling. Now 12A, 14A, and even "AAAA" listings are common on wholesale platforms. There's no independent lab that certifies a bundle is 10A. No third party stamps it. The grade exists because a supplier printed it on a tag. One clear signal of this: if you find a vendor selling 12A hair for the same price another sells 8A, both can't be right. One of them assigned the grade to hit a price point, not because the product met a standard. What actually determines hair quality The grade label tells you nothing useful on its own. These 5 things tell you almost everything: 1. Raw vs. processed Raw hair hasn't been chemically treated before sale. The cuticle layer is intact. Processed hair (sometimes relabeled as "Remy" or dressed up with a grade number) has gone through acid baths to strip and artificially realign cuticles. It looks good in the bag. It degrades faster under heat and washing. 2. Cuticle alignment Aligned cuticles mean all hair strands run in the same direction, root to tip. Less friction, less tangling, longer lifespan. Acid-stripped hair can have cuticles re-glued to appear aligned, but the bond doesn't hold under repeated styling. 3. Single-donor vs. mixed collection Single-donor hair comes from one person. Texture, porosity, and thickness are consistent through the bundle. Mixed-collection hair blends multiple donors; cheaper to source, harder to maintain consistency across orders. 4. In-house vs. outsourced processing Bleaching, coloring, and texture processing done in-house gives the manufacturer direct control over how much damage the cuticle takes. Outsourced processing means trusting a third party no one has audited. 5. Manufacturer vs. reseller A reseller can label their product 12A and price it accordingly. They don't control the source, the production process, or the QC. They're buying from a factory and applying a label. The factory may not even know what grade their buyer is selling it as. How AZ Hair approaches quality We don't grade our hair with alphabet numbers. There's no internal "10A standard" at our factory because the label doesn't correspond to anything we can verify or stand behind. What we can stand behind: our 6-step in-house production process. We source single-donor raw hair directly from women in rural northern Vietnam. Cuticles are sorted and aligned by hand before any processing. We do bleaching and coloring at our own factory. Most Vietnamese hair factories outsource this step, which is why custom colors are hard to find without cuticle damage. Both Channel NewsAsia and NPO Netherlands sent journalists and camera crews to our facility. They documented the full production process and verified our supply chain. Both broadcasts are public. We've also held a 7-year Alibaba Verified Supplier account, with Trade Assurance available on every order for first-time buyers who want escrow protection. Our factory is in Vietnam. Our HQ is in Hanoi. Every shipment leaves a building we own. See Product See Product See Product Questions to ask any supplier instead of asking about grades If a vendor leads with their grade number, ask these instead: Can you do a live factory tour on WhatsApp video, this week? Where is the donor hair sourced from? Is it single-donor per bundle? Do you bleach and color in-house, or send it to a third party? Are cuticles naturally aligned or acid-stripped and re-coated? What's your Alibaba verification history? Can you show Trade Assurance? A supplier who can't answer all 5 is either a reseller or not far enough into manufacturing to answer with confidence. A grade number doesn't answer any of them. We do live factory tours on WhatsApp any weekday. Book a time to see the drying racks, the sorting floor, the color processing room. FAQ What does 10A hair extensions mean? 10A is a marketing grade, not a certified standard. It generally implies higher quality (intact cuticles, minimal shedding, longer lifespan), but there's no third-party body that tests or certifies it. Any vendor can label their hair 10A. The grade is entirely self-assigned. Is 12A hair better than 10A hair? Not necessarily. The grading system has no regulation, so 12A from one vendor may be lower quality than 8A from a verified direct manufacturer. What matters is sourcing transparency, cuticle alignment, and whether the supplier controls their own production. What is the highest grade of hair extensions? There's no official highest grade. As grade inflation continues, some vendors sell "14A" or "AAAA" hair. These labels have no industry standard behind them. Instead of chasing numbers, look for verified manufacturers who can show you the production process live. What's the difference between raw hair and graded hair? Raw hair is unprocessed: no acid baths, no cuticle stripping, no steam processing before sale. Graded hair may or may not be raw; the grade label tells you nothing about the processing history. Raw, single-donor Vietnamese hair with aligned cuticles will outlast most "12A" labeled products sold by resellers. How can I verify a hair supplier's quality before ordering? Ask for a live video factory tour. Request a sample bundle and do a cuticle alignment tug test. Check their Alibaba verification history and Trade Assurance status. Look for independent media coverage. Channel NewsAsia and NPO Netherlands both filmed inside our factory. Price alone isn't a quality signal. Summary The "A" Grading System is a Marketing Myth: There is no official governing body, lab, or regulatory standard for hair grading. Any supplier can print a "12A" tag and slap it on low-quality hair. The Grade Inflation Problem: Ten years ago, 6A was premium. Today, sellers use 12A, 14A, or "AAAA" just to stay competitive, rendering the numbers completely meaningless. The AZ Hair Standard: We do not use arbitrary "A" grades. Instead, we prove our quality through a transparent, 6-step in-house process using single-donor raw Vietnamese hair. Our supply chain and factory have been independently verified and broadcasted by international journalists from Channel NewsAsia (CNA) and NPO Netherlands. Want to see the factory before you order?

TABLE OF CONTENTS What "verified" means in hair manufacturing The three types of proof that matter Red flags: what unverified suppliers say instead AZ Hair Vietnam as a verified hair manufacturer Questions to ask any supplier before ordering Summary FAQ Most distributors don't find out they're dealing with a reseller until the second order arrives short. By then, they've paid a middleman markup twice and have no direct line to the factory. A verified hair manufacturer is a traceable status, confirmed by third parties who visited the factory, by platforms that verified the business registration, and by certifications that require external audits to maintain. This guide explains what that proof looks like, and how to check it before you commit to any order. What "verified" means in hair manufacturing The hair extension industry has no single certification body. "Premium quality" and "direct factory" appear on the homepage of every reseller who buys from a wholesale market and relabels the goods. Real verification comes from outside the vendor's own marketing. Three sources carry weight: independent press coverage, third-party platform verification, and external audits for ISO or compliance certifications. If a supplier can't produce any of those, their claim of being a verified hair manufacturer is a self-stated one. That's not the same thing. Browse AZ Hair's wholesale collection: Raw Vietnamese hair wholesale The three types of proof that matter 1. Press and broadcaster verification When an international broadcaster sends a film crew to a facility and publishes the documentary, that footage is public and independently checkable. It's not a testimonial or a review. It's a record. Channel NewsAsia and NPO Netherlands have both filmed inside AZ Hair Vietnam's factory. Both broadcasts are public. Search any vendor's name alongside "CNA" or "factory documentary." Real verified hair manufacturers show up in press. Resellers don't, because there's no production story to document. 2. Alibaba Verified Supplier status Alibaba's Trustpass badge requires a verified physical business address and registration documents. The number of years on the badge matters. A 2-year badge and a 10-year badge are different risk signals for a first-time buyer. Verified Supplier status also enables Trade Assurance — Alibaba's escrow program. Payment is held until the shipment clears inspection. For any first order with a manufacturer you haven't worked with before, Trade Assurance removes the largest risk in the transaction. 3. ISO and compliance certifications ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental), ISO 45001 (occupational safety), and EC REP certification all require external auditing bodies. You can't self-certify. Ask any vendor claiming to be a verified hair manufacturer which certifications they hold — then ask to see the documents. A real certificate carries an issuing body name, registration number, and expiry date. See Product See Product See Product Red flags: what unverified suppliers say instead When a supplier can't provide third-party proof, they substitute marketing language for it. The patterns repeat across the industry: "We work with 500+ salons worldwide" — no verifiable list, no press feature, no platform record "Our hair is 100% raw single donor" — a product claim with no sourcing documentation to back it "We've been in business for 20 years" — self-stated, no public record "Our quality speaks for itself" — if quality speaks for itself, it should be able to produce a certificate "We can ship your 200-bundle custom order in 5 days" — a real production run of that scale takes at minimum 10 working days; anything under that is pre-made stock or a missed deadline waiting to happen The most important red flag: a supplier who won't do a same-week live video call showing the production floor. A verified hair manufacturer can show you the sorting stations, the air-drying racks, the bundles in production — any weekday. A reseller can't show you a facility they don't own. AZ Hair Vietnam as a verified hair manufacturer AZ Hair Vietnam is a direct manufacturer. Our factory is in Ninh Bình Province. Our HQ is in Hanoi. Every shipment leaves a building we own. Channel NewsAsia and NPO Netherlands have both filmed inside our factory. Both broadcasts are public. We hold a 7-year Alibaba Verified Supplier status, with Trade Assurance available on every Alibaba order. We're ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and EC REP certified — the only verified hair manufacturer in our comparison set that holds all four. Here's what our 6-step in-house production process looks like: Sourcing: Raw hair collected directly from women in rural northern Vietnam. Single donor per bundle when specified. No chemical history from the donor. Sorting: Cuticles aligned by hand. Mixed-direction or damaged hair removed at this stage. Air drying: Bamboo racks, 6 to 8 hours. No industrial heat. The cuticle stays sealed. Bleaching and coloring: Done in-house at our Ninh Bình factory. Most Vietnamese factories outsource this step or don't offer it at all. Quality inspection: Every bundle weighed at 100g, texture consistency checked, cuticle alignment verified before extension production starts. Extension production: Wefting, tip bonding, tape application — all in-house. No third-party processing. Every step happens inside our facility. You can watch our factory tour before booking a live call. We run live video tours on WhatsApp any weekday — you'll see the exact bundles being prepared for shipment that day. Questions to ask any supplier before ordering Run these on any vendor — including us. Can you do a same-week live video call showing the production floor? Real factories say yes within 24 to 48 hours. If the answer is "our team will check availability," keep looking. What is your Alibaba Verified Supplier status, and for how many years? Ask for the storefront URL. Check the badge yourself. Don't take a screenshot in an email as confirmation. Which third-party press has covered your factory? A press claim without a link is a marketing claim. Search for it independently. What certifications do you hold, and can you share the documents? ISO certificates carry issuing body names, registration numbers, and expiry dates. If a vendor can't produce the document, the certification probably doesn't exist. What is the realistic lead time for a 100-bundle custom order? Under 10 working days is a red flag for genuine custom production. Real manufacturers give production windows, not promises. What happens if the order arrives at incorrect weight or texture? A manufacturer who controls the production process has a clear answer to this. A reseller often doesn't, because the resolution depends on a supplier they don't control. FAQ What is a verified hair manufacturer? A verified hair manufacturer has their factory status confirmed by independent third parties — an international broadcaster who filmed the facility, a platform like Alibaba that verified the business registration, or a certification body that audited the production process. A vendor who calls themselves a verified hair manufacturer on their own website, with no third-party documentation to back it up, is making a self-stated claim. How do I check if a Vietnamese hair supplier is a real manufacturer? Three checks: search the vendor's name alongside "CNA" or "NPO" or "factory" to find press coverage; check their Alibaba Verified Supplier badge and how many years it shows; book a same-week live video call showing the production floor. A verified hair manufacturer can do all three. Resellers typically can't do any. Is Alibaba Verified Supplier status enough proof on its own? It's a strong signal, but not the complete picture. Alibaba verifies the business registration and physical address. It doesn't verify production capacity, sourcing origin, or quality consistency. Combine it with independent press coverage and ISO certifications for a full check. What ISO certifications should a hair manufacturer have? ISO 9001 covers quality management. ISO 14001 covers environmental management. ISO 45001 covers occupational health and safety. EC REP is required for manufacturers selling into EU markets. At minimum, a serious verified hair manufacturer should hold ISO 9001. Ask to see the certificate — it will have an issuing body name, a registration number, and an expiry date. How long does a verified manufacturer take to ship a custom order? AZ Hair's confirmed lead time for custom production is 10 to 12 working days. In-stock SKUs ship in 1 to 2 days from our facility. Any manufacturer quoting under 7 days for a 100-bundle custom order across multiple colors is either pulling from pre-made stock or will miss the date. Real production has a real timeline. Summary A verified hair manufacturer is one whose status is confirmed by sources outside their own marketing. Three sources carry weight: independent press coverage (CNA, NPO Netherlands, or equivalent), platform verification (Alibaba Trustpass with a multi-year badge), and ISO certifications with auditable documentation. AZ Hair Vietnam holds all three. Channel NewsAsia and NPO Netherlands have both filmed inside our factory — both broadcasts are public and searchable. We've held Alibaba Verified Supplier status for 7 years, with Trade Assurance on every order. We're ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and EC REP certified. Before placing any wholesale order with any hair manufacturer, run the six questions above. Ask for a live video call. Ask for the Alibaba storefront link. Ask for the certificate documents. If a supplier can't produce any of those within a business day, they're a reseller — regardless of what their website says. The difference matters most when something goes wrong. A verified hair manufacturer controls production and can fix it. A reseller can't.

TABLE OF CONTENTS What to look for in a Vietnamese hair wholesale supplier The Vietnamese hair vendor list: 5 suppliers reviewed Quick comparison table How to verify any vendor before you order Summary FAQ Most distributors spend 2 to 3 months vetting hair vendors before they place a real order. They find 20 names online, cut the list to 8 that respond, ask for samples from 4, and wire money to 1, hoping they picked right. This post is a Vietnamese hair vendor list built for that vetting phase. We reviewed 5 Vietnamese hair wholesale suppliers on the criteria that actually predict order reliability: sourcing transparency, third-party verification, MOQ, lead time, and what happens when something goes wrong. One of them is us. We'll say so clearly. What to look for in a Vietnamese hair wholesale supplier Before comparing specific names on this Vietnamese hair vendor list, here's what separates real manufacturers from resellers. Third-party press verification. Any vendor can claim they own a factory. Very few have had an international broadcaster film them. Channel NewsAsia and NPO Netherlands are the benchmark we know of in this market. If a vendor has equivalent independent coverage, that carries real weight. Alibaba Verified Supplier status. The Trustpass badge confirms a physical address and business registration. The number of years matters too. A 13-year badge and a 2-year badge are not the same signal. MOQ and sampling policy. A real manufacturer lets you test before committing. If you can't order 1 to 3 bundles before a bulk run, something is blocking your access to the product. Lead time honesty. Custom orders for 100+ bundles take 10 to 25 days minimum. A vendor quoting 5 days for a large custom order is reselling pre-made stock or will miss the date. In-house color and private label. Custom packaging and in-house dyeing require real production infrastructure. Most factories outsource one or both. See Product See Product See Product The Vietnamese hair vendor list: 5 suppliers reviewed 1. AZ Hair Vietnam: best for verified sourcing We're a direct manufacturer. Our factory is in Ninh Bình Province. Our HQ is in Hanoi. Every shipment leaves a building we own. Channel NewsAsia and NPO Netherlands have both filmed inside AZ Hair factory.

First orders can go through Trade Assurance escrow if you're not ready to wire direct.

Sourcing and production 100% raw Vietnamese hair from women in rural northern Vietnam. Single donor per bundle when specified.

ApoHair: strongest Alibaba track record ApoHair (apohair.com) has been operating since the mid-1990s and is led by a named, public CEO (Tony Phan). Europe accounts for roughly 30% of their revenue. They export to 50+ countries. Their Alibaba Verified Supplier status stands at 13 years, the longest of any vendor on this list. AZ Hair has 7 years; ApoHair has 13. That gap is real. They also claim 20+ tons per month capacity and a 3.3-hectare factory with 1,000+ workers. No third-party broadcaster has verified those figures, but the scale is consistent with their Alibaba history. MOQ: 200g per product type In-house color: Yes Private label: Yes (OEM/ODM) Lead time: By inquiry; not published Press verification: None found ISO certifications: None listed Best for distributors who vet primarily through Alibaba and want a large-scale supplier with a long platform history. 3. K-Hair: lowest MOQ for first orders K-Hair (k-hair.com) targets US, African, and European buyers with an explicit low-entry strategy: 1kg MOQ, roughly 10 bundles. That's the lowest entry point of any vendor in this comparison. They claim 30 years of experience and 2+ tons per month output. They're not on Alibaba by choice and say so openly. They offer live video calls instead for factory verification. That's a reasonable substitute, but it removes the Trade Assurance escrow a first-time buyer would normally rely on. MOQ: 1kg (~10 bundles) Lead time in-stock: 5 to 7 days global shipping Lead time custom: Not published Alibaba Verified: No active store In-house color: Not confirmed Press verification: None found Best for buyers testing the market with a small first order, or those comfortable ordering direct without Alibaba escrow. 4. HAIRAC: most transparent on single-donor sourcing HAIRAC (hairac.com.vn) has been operating since 2007, one of the longer-running suppliers in this comparison. Their main differentiator is product category clarity: they separate single-donor hair from mixed raw hair as distinct SKUs. That's an actual product separation, not just a claim on a product page. Their sourcing story traces back to rural northern Vietnamese women donating hair through local collectors from the early 2000s. That's consistent with how legitimate northern Vietnamese supply chains are built. MOQ: Not published; by inquiry In-house color: Yes (bulk colored hair product category) Single-donor: Explicit product category Alibaba Verified: No store found Private label: Not confirmed Press verification: None found Best for experienced buyers specifically sourcing single-donor raw hair who know what to ask for. High friction for first-time buyers due to limited public ordering information. 5. CYhair: best in-house color depth CYhair (cyhair.com) is based in HCM City (Cu Chi District), the only southern Vietnam factory in this comparison. They've built around color processing: their dyeing room handles Africa colors, Europe colors, and trend colors as separate production tracks. That level of color infrastructure is uncommon. Most Vietnamese factories dye as an afterthought. CYhair has made it a core capability. One note: their Alibaba store name ("tradevietnam") doesn't match the brand name. Minor, but worth clarifying in a first conversation. MOQ: Not published; by inquiry In-house color: Yes, advanced dyeing room (multiple market segments) Alibaba Verified: Yes (years not confirmed; store: tradevietnam.trustpass.alibaba.com) Private label: Not confirmed Lead time: Not published Press verification: None found Best for distributors whose clients regularly request fashion colors, highlights, or trend-specific processing.

Request a live video call. A real factory will show you the floor: sorting stations, air-drying racks, bundles at different production stages. If a vendor can't get on a call within the same week, they're working from a warehouse. Search for press coverage. Google "[vendor name] + factory" and "[vendor name] + CNA" or equivalent. Real manufacturers get filmed. Resellers don't, because there's no production story to tell. Order 1 to 3 bundles before committing to bulk. Test the weight (a 100g bundle should weigh 100g), texture consistency, and how the hair holds after washing. This matters more than any catalog photo. Ask for a production timeline on your exact order. Give the vendor your full specs (length, texture, weight, color, quantity) and ask for a confirmed lead time. Vague answers are a flag. Real factories give you a production window. We do live video calls from AZ Hair factory on WhatsApp any weekday. Watch our factory video first, then message us to book one. FAQ What is the difference between a Vietnamese hair vendor and a Vietnamese hair manufacturer? A vendor sources from factories and resells. A manufacturer makes the hair. Manufacturers offer lower prices (no markup layer), more flexibility on custom orders, and more consistent quality because they control production. The fastest test: ask for a same-week live video call showing the production floor. Real factories can do it. Resellers mostly can't. What should the MOQ be for a Vietnamese hair wholesale supplier? It varies widely. AZ Hair's MOQ is 1 bundle (100g). ApoHair's is 200g. K-Hair's is 1kg (roughly 10 bundles). Several vendors on this list don't publish MOQs at all, which forces an inquiry before you even know the entry point. Lower MOQs reduce your risk on a first order. How long does a Vietnamese hair custom order take to ship? Most vendors on this list don't publish lead times. AZ Hair's confirmed custom lead time is 10 to 12 working days. For any other vendor, ask specifically before you commit. A realistic custom order of 100+ bundles across multiple colors should take at least 10 working days. Anything under that is a flag. Is Vietnamese hair better than Indian or Brazilian hair for wholesale? For the US and EU distributor market, Vietnamese raw hair generally holds longer at the cuticle level. The hair shaft is thinner and the cuticle structure more uniform. Northern Vietnamese hair has minimal chemical history from the donor, which means in-house bleaching produces more predictable results. The trade-off: verifying you're getting genuine raw Vietnamese hair (not Indian hair relabeled as Vietnamese) takes more due diligence on the vendor side. How do I verify a Vietnamese hair supplier is a real factory and not a reseller? Three checks: broadcaster press coverage (CNA, NPO Netherlands, or equivalent), Alibaba Verified Supplier status with years on the badge, and a live video call on short notice. Of the five vendors on this Vietnamese hair vendor list, only AZ Hair has all three. Ask any vendor you're evaluating to do a same-week video call. Real factories say yes. Warehouses and resellers usually can't. Summary This Vietnamese hair vendor list covers 5 suppliers currently shipping wholesale to US and EU distributors. AZ Hair Vietnam is the only vendor with broadcaster-verified proof (CNA and NPO Netherlands) and ISO certifications. No other vendor on this list has both. ApoHair has the strongest Alibaba track record (13 years) and the largest claimed scale. If you vet primarily through Alibaba, they're the main name to compare. K-Hair has the lowest MOQ at 1kg. Good for small test orders, but no Alibaba escrow on first buys. HAIRAC is the clearest on single-donor sourcing, with product category separation rather than a homepage claim. CYhair has the most advanced in-house color infrastructure of any vendor we researched. Across all five vendors, lead times and MOQs are mostly unpublished. Before committing to any name on this Vietnamese hair vendor list, ask for a live video call and a production timeline on your specific order. Real factories can deliver both.
