Tape In Hair Extensions Wholesale: How a Factory Order Works

Tape In Hair Extensions Wholesale: How a Factory Order Works

Tape packs on the market run from 25g to 100g, and every seller calls theirs "a pack". So a tape in hair extensions wholesale price tells you little until you know the weight behind it. Get the unit first. Then compare.

Tape in hair extensions wholesale is the trade purchase of tape wefts by the pack from a factory or distributor. AZ Hair Vietnam sells regular tape in 100g packs with a 2.5cm tab, 16 to 26 inches, in 2 grades. Tape is made to order in 10 to 12 working days.

01

Tape in hair extensions wholesale prices

In one line Length, grade and color set the price. Wholesale pricing starts at 3 to 5kg.

A tape in hair extensions wholesale price moves with 3 things: length, grade and color.

Single-pack prices for every length and grade are listed on the tape-in extensions collection.

Orders from 3 to 5kg up get wholesale pricing. That is 30 to 50 packs of 100g. Send your quantity on WhatsApp for the quote.

Blonde packs list higher than jet black in the same length. The gap is labor. 5 to 7 people sit at one table and pull every red, black and damaged strand out of hair that has already been lifted. By hand. One at a time. No machine does that part.

Tape types the factory makes

A tape in weft is a strip of hair with an adhesive tab along the top edge. The stylist presses 2 tabs together around a thin section of the client's own hair.

Tape in hair extensions wholesale buyers can order 3 tape lines from us.

Regular tape

Regular tape is a set of short tape wefts, each with its own 2.5cm tab. The stylist places them one by one in pairs. It's the line with the most colors listed on the site, and the specs in this guide are for regular tape.

Long line tape in

Long line tape in is the same tape as regular, made as one long strip. We cut the strip to the length you ask for, 30cm or 40cm for example. Give us the strip length with your order.

Invisible tape in

Invisible tape in is a tape weft where the hair comes out of a thin, skin-colored tab, so the top edge shows less at the part line and around the face. It is our higher-end tape line. The minimum order for invisible tape is 200g.

Long line and invisible tape are made to order. Ask for the spec sheet and the color list before you plan stock around them.

The adhesive formula on our tape is a factory secret, and every tape factory keeps theirs. The result is easy to test. Order 1 pack, install it on 1 client, and check the tabs at the move-up.

Still choosing between formats? The weft vs tape-in extensions guide compares them for a buyer who has to stock both.

03

Colors and the color ring

A tape in hair extensions wholesale order starts with a shade list. Regular tape is listed in more than 12 shades: jet black, dark brown, light brown, blondes, highlight mixes and balayage mixes.

We do the bleaching and coloring in-house. Most Vietnamese factories don't, which is why custom colors are hard to find at this quality tier.

Pick shades from the physical color ring. It's a ring of real hair swatches, and you hold it against the client's hair in salon light. Buyers select from the ring before the order is finalized. Phone photos shift blonde tones, so I wouldn't approve a custom shade from a screen.

The natural chart shows 4 shades: #1, #1B, #2C and #6C.

04

Grade: double drawn and super double drawn

In one line The grade name describes the ends. Compare 2 grades from the same factory.

Every tape in hair extensions wholesale quote names a grade. Double drawn is a grade name for how much of the hair in a pack reaches the full stated length. More full-length hair means thicker ends.

No body sets a standard for these names. Each factory defines its own. A super double drawn pack from 2 factories can be 2 different products.

Double Drawn (A++)

Double Drawn (A++) is the first of our 2 tape grades. It has fewer full-length hairs than the grade above, so the ends are thinner and the pack costs less.

Super Double Drawn (A+++)

Super Double Drawn (A+++) has more full-length hair, so the ends stay thicker down to the tip. Order both grades from the same factory, in the same length, and hold the ends side by side. That tells you what the factory means by each name. The double drawn hair guide shows what to look at.

Raw and remy tape in hair

Raw hair is hair that had no chemical processing before it reached the factory. Remy hair is hair with the cuticles all facing one direction, root to tip.

Buyers who search for raw tape in hair extensions wholesale want to know what the hair was before it became a tape weft. Here is what I can say for sure.

The hair is cut from women in northern Vietnam. We buy it, sort it, and process it in our own factory.

A blonde or balayage pack has been bleached and colored at the factory. Raw describes the hair before that step.

We can show you the sorting floor, the drying room and the finished pack. We cannot show you a certificate that says one donor, and neither can anyone else in this industry.

Pack size, pieces and minimum order

For tape in hair extensions wholesale orders, a regular tape pack has one spec across every color.

  • Pack weight. 100g
  • Tab width. 2.5cm
  • Lengths. 16", 18", 20", 22", 24", 26"
  • Grades. Double Drawn (A++), Super Double Drawn (A+++)
  • Minimum order. 1 pack (100g)

The minimum order is 100g. That is 1 pack, and it's also the sample. Invisible tape in is the exception, with a 200g minimum. We don't send free samples or cut pieces.

The piece count in a 100g pack depends on length. Shorter hair weighs less per piece, so a short pack holds more pieces.

Length Tape pieces per 100g pack
12" and 14" About 55 to 60
16" and 18" About 45 to 50
20" and longer About 38 to 41

These are estimates. The factory doesn't take orders for an exact piece count, so price your installs on the low end of each range.

Tape in Hair Extensions: Grade Comparison

Tape is listed on the site from 16 to 26 inches, and the factory also makes 12 and 14 inch tape. Our standard range across all products is 8 inches to 32 inches. Need a length that isn't listed? Ask before you promise it to a client.

06

Proof to ask for before you pay

Before you pay for a tape in hair extensions wholesale order, ask for a video of the pack in someone's hand. One UK buyer asked us for that video 3 times before paying. That buyer never asked for a certificate.

Then ask these:

  1. Can you weigh the pack on a scale in the video?
  2. Is the tab width the same across the batch?
  3. Will a reorder in 3 months match this batch?
  4. Is this made to order or in stock?

The third question matters most for a wholesale account. A second batch that doesn't match the first ends most supplier relationships. Your salon has already sold the first one to a client.

You can check who we are without taking my word for it. Our factory is in Vietnam. 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: AZ Hair on Channel NewsAsia and our NPO Netherlands feature. The steps the hair goes through are in our 6-step production process.
