How to order hair from Vietnam: a simple guide for salons & vendors

Wondering how to order hair from Vietnam without choosing the wrong quality, texture or quantity?

Start with your customer’s final hairstyle, confirm the exact hair specifications, compare the right price tier, test the supplier when needed, then finalize payment and shipping. A clear order process helps you avoid paying for hair features you do not need and reduces problems after delivery.

How to order hair from a Vietnamese hair supplier

Ordering Vietnamese human hair becomes much easier when you stop thinking of it as simply “choosing bundles.” The final price and result depend on several connected choices: hair quality, product type, texture, length, fullness, color, quantity and destination.

For example, two customers may both request 20-inch Straight Hair. One wants Natural Black Remy Double Drawn for everyday resale. The other plans to bleach the hair toward 613 and therefore needs a more suitable Virgin Hair specification. The length is identical, but the correct product and investment can be very different.

A useful buying process therefore starts with what you want to achieve, not with the cheapest price list.

Step 1: decide what hair product you need

Before asking for a quotation, decide whether you need bundles, closure/frontal, wig or another extension format.

Bundles are especially flexible for salons, vendors and wig makers because a standard weft bundle is approximately 100g. You can combine several bundles for sew-ins or use them together with a closure or frontal for custom wig construction. A typical wig may use around two to three weft bundles plus a closure or frontal.

If your business mainly sells customized hairstyles, bundles usually give you more flexibility than stocking many completed wigs. Wigs can still make sense when your buyers prefer a ready-to-wear solution, but you need more information before pricing them because lace, density, texture, length and construction all affect the cost.

Step 2: choose remy or virgin hair for the right reason

Do not automatically order the most expensive hair.

Remy Hair is still human hair. It is made from mixed donor sources and provides a more accessible price point. It is especially practical when your customers want Natural Black, brown, red, burgundy or other moderate colors.

Virgin Hair is positioned around one-donor sourcing, intact cuticles and more consistent strand alignment. It becomes more relevant when your customer wants stronger customization potential, particularly demanding bleaching toward very light blonde shades such as 613.

That distinction can save you a meaningful amount of money.

For example, a 20-inch Double Drawn Remy bundle is around $44.50 at the reference Natural Black price, while a premium 20-inch Straight/Wavy option is around $70.50 per 100g. That is approximately $26 more per bundle, or about $78 across three bundles.

If your customer only wants Natural Black Straight Hair, that additional $78 may not solve a problem she actually has. If she plans demanding color work, however, paying more for the appropriate hair quality becomes easier to justify.

Step 3: choose the texture before the length

Many buyers start by saying, “I need 20 inches.”

That is not enough. First decide how you want the finished hairstyle to look.

Natural Straight gives you a cleaner straight appearance. Bone Straight creates a more polished, sleek finish. Kinky Straight keeps more texture and body. Natural Wave gives softer movement, Body Wave creates broader flowing waves, Loose Wave adds more definition, while Deep Wave and curly textures create stronger visual volume.

Choosing texture first matters because getting 24 inches of the wrong pattern will not give your customer the hairstyle she showed you in her reference photo.

For customized textures, send a clear photo or video whenever possible so the supplier can confirm what you mean instead of relying only on texture names. Common processed styles include Bone Straight, Deep Wave, Body Wave and Loose Wave.

Step 4: choose length and fullness according to your budget

Once you have the right texture, you can use length and fullness to control the total. For Remy Hair, the common fullness levels are:

Fullness	Approx. main-length strands	What your customer gets
Single Drawn	40–45%	More natural taper, lower price
Double Drawn	60–65%	Fuller ends, balanced price
Super Double Drawn	80–85%	Heavier, fuller-looking ends

This gives you several ways to solve a budget problem without simply asking for a discount. Take 20-inch Natural Black Remy Hair as an example. The reference price is approximately $39.30 Single Drawn, $44.50 Double Drawn and $54.40 Super Double Drawn per 100g bundle.

If your customer wants three 20-inch bundles but Super Double Drawn exceeds her budget, moving to Double Drawn saves approximately $29.70 across three bundles.

She keeps the same 20-inch length. The trade-off is simply slightly less fullness toward the ends. You can also reduce length. A 16-inch Double Drawn Remy bundle is approximately $32.90, compared with $44.50 at 20 inches and $56.60 at 24 inches.

That makes length another practical budget lever before you sacrifice the hair specification your customer actually needs.

Step 5: send a complete order request

The fastest way to receive an accurate quote is to give the supplier enough information in the first message.

Instead of writing:

“Price?”

Send something closer to:

“I need Vietnamese Remy Hair, Body Wave, Natural Black, 20 inches, Double Drawn, 10 bundles, shipping to the UK.”

For wigs, add the lace type or lace size, density and color. For custom color, send a reference image as well.

Customized color should also be discussed realistically. A factory may reproduce a reference shade closely, but lighting, camera settings and the starting hair base can affect the result. The supplied sales guidance uses approximately 80–90% similarity as a realistic expectation for custom colors rather than promising an exact 100% copy.

The more specific your request is, the less likely you are to compare two quotations that actually represent different products.

Step 6: ask for real hair videos before you place a large order

If this is your first time ordering from a supplier, do not judge quality only from polished website images.

Ask to see current product videos showing the actual texture, ends and movement.

You can also request factory footage, packing videos, hair-test videos and recent customer feedback. These are specifically recommended as trust-building evidence for buyers who are concerned about scams or previous bad supplier experiences.

This is particularly useful for textures such as Loose Wave, Deep Wave and Curly because texture names alone do not always show exactly how tight or open the final pattern will be.

If you are still uncertain, a smaller trial order can help you evaluate the product before committing more money to inventory.

Step 7: confirm MOQ and production time

For wholesale orders, a standard reference MOQ is 1kg, although smaller trial quantities may sometimes be discussed depending on the order and supplier policy.

Remember that 1kg equals approximately ten 100g bundles. Production time depends heavily on the complexity of your order.

Standard Straight or catalog texture orders that are not unusually long can take around 3–5 working days, while more customized orders, larger lace pieces, wigs, difficult styles or other special requirements may take around 10–14 working days. This is why the fastest-looking supplier is not always the best choice.

If you need stock for a specific promotion or customer appointment, confirm the production timeline before paying, not after.

Step 8: confirm the final invoice before payment

Your invoice should match the product you discussed. Check the hair quality, texture, length, fullness, color, quantity, product type, shipping fee and any customization charges.

Payment options may vary by destination and supplier. The supplied materials describe international bank transfers and remittance methods, while some markets may also use authorized payment or shipping agents. Shipment normally takes place after the agreed payment terms have been completed.

For your own protection, pay only through the supplier’s confirmed business process. Do not rely on payment details copied from an old screenshot or forwarded by an unknown third party. Confirm the current payment instructions directly with the company before transferring funds.

Step 9: check your hair before shipping when possible

For a larger wholesale order, asking for an order-completion video can help you verify that the products appear consistent with your invoice before dispatch.

Check the visible texture, quantity, lengths and packaging. If you ordered several products, ask the supplier to show or label them clearly enough that you can tell which items belong to which specification.

This small step matters because fixing an order difference before international shipping is much easier than discovering it after the package arrives.

Step 10: choose the shipping method for your country

Shipping time and cost depend on your destination. For the U.S., Canada, Europe and many Asian destinations, international couriers such as FedEx may deliver in approximately 3–7 days under the logistics guidance in the supplied materials. UPS and DHL may also be used depending on the destination and customer preference.

Some African markets use shipping agents because they can offer more suitable routes or lower costs for that market.

Before payment, ask for: Shipping method, estimated delivery time, shipping fee and tracking process.

Do not judge the complete order only by hair price. A slightly lower bundle price can become less attractive once you add a significantly higher shipping cost.

Step 11: inspect the hair as soon as it arrives

Do not immediately cut the weft, wash the hair or construct it into a wig before checking the order. First confirm that the length, texture, color, quantity and general condition match what you purchased.

This is especially important because return or exchange support usually becomes much more limited once the hair has been altered, washed, cut or incorporated into another product. The supplied warranty guidance also places time and condition restrictions on certain returns and exchanges.

If you find a problem, take clear photos and a short video immediately and contact the supplier with the order information. That gives both sides something concrete to evaluate.

How to order hair from Vietnam for the first time

If this is your first order, keep the purchase easy to evaluate. You do not need ten textures, seven colors and every length from 8 to 30 inches in one test order.

Choose products that match what your customers already ask for. For example, if your salon mainly sells Natural Black Straight and Body Wave between 16 and 22 inches, test those first.

Once you know the quality fits your market, you can expand. This approach protects your cash flow and gives you real information about what your customers will reorder rather than filling your inventory with products that only look attractive in a catalog.

Common mistakes when ordering hair from Vietnam

1. The first is buying only by price. A 20-inch Single Drawn bundle and 20-inch Super Double Drawn bundle are not equivalent products, so comparing only the dollar amount tells you very little.
2. The second is ordering Virgin when Remy already fits the use case. If your customer is keeping Natural Black, the premium bleaching potential may provide little practical value.
3. The third is ordering by texture name without checking the actual pattern. Loose Wave from one supplier may not look exactly like the Loose Wave you previously sold.
4. The fourth is forgetting shipping, production and customization costs when calculating resale margin.
5. And the fifth is placing a large first order before verifying the supplier. Product videos, order evidence and a smaller test can reduce that risk considerably.

What information should you send to get an exact hair quote?

You can keep it simple:

Product + Hair quality + Texture + Length + Fullness + Color + Quantity + Destination.

For example:

“Vietnamese Remy bundles, Body Wave, 20”, Double Drawn, Natural Black, 10 bundles, shipping to London, UK.”

That message gives the supplier enough information to start building a meaningful quote instead of sending you a generic price list.
