Vietnamese hair type: wholesale buyer guide

If you are searching for Vietnamese hair type, you may be trying to understand what kind of hair you are actually buying: straight, wavy, curly, raw, virgin, Remy, Single Drawn, Double Drawn, bundles, wigs, or bulk hair.

For product options that match the buying criteria in this guide, browse Raw Vietnamese Hair Bundles.

For wholesale buyers, this question matters because “Vietnamese hair” is not one single product. Your buyers may expect a natural straight look, a soft wave, a curly texture, fuller ends, lace match, or raw hair quality. If you choose the wrong type, your salon, resale shop, or import business may face complaints about texture, length, fullness, lace, or final install result.

This guide helps you understand Vietnamese hair type from a wholesale buying point of view, so you can choose the right product before ordering sample or bulk.

RaviHair is a Vietnamese hair supplier, so this article is written from a supplier-side point of view. We are not pretending to be an independent review website. Our goal is to help you ask better questions, verify the hair properly, and choose the type that fits your buyers.

Quick answer: what does Vietnamese hair type mean?

Vietnamese hair type can mean different things depending on the buyer’s question. Some buyers use “type” to ask about raw, virgin, or Remy. Some use it to ask about straight, wavy, or curly. Others use it to ask about bundles, wigs, closures, frontals, bulk hair, or drawn grade.

Before you buy, you need to know which meaning the supplier is talking about.

For wholesale buyers, the safest question is not only “What type is this?” The better question is:

“Can you show proof of this hair type before I pay or before you ship?”

Why Vietnamese hair type matters for wholesale buyers

Your buyers do not judge the hair by supplier vocabulary. They judge the finished result: how the hair looks after install, how full the ends feel, whether the texture matches the promise, whether the lace blends, and whether the hair still looks good after washing.

If your customer wants bone straight but receives regular straight, they may feel the hair is not sleek enough. If your customer wants deep wave but the curl drops after washing, you may face refund pressure. If you sell Single Drawn hair as if it has Super Double Drawn fullness, the customer may complain about thin ends.

For salons, choosing the wrong hair type can waste styling time. For resellers, it can hurt product reviews and repeat orders. For importers, it can create bigger stock risk because one wrong bulk order affects many customers at once.

That is why you should choose Vietnamese hair type based on your buyer’s real use case, not only on the most attractive product photo.

Vietnamese hair quality types: raw, virgin, remy and processed

The first meaning of Vietnamese hair type is quality type. This is where many buyers get confused.

Raw Vietnamese hair usually refers to Vietnamese human hair that has not been heavily processed for color or texture. But “raw” should not be trusted as a label alone. You still need to ask whether the hair has been dyed, bleached, steamed, coated, acid-washed, silicone-treated, or chemically processed.

Virgin Vietnamese hair usually means the hair was not chemically treated. In the strictest sense, one-donor virgin hair is a higher claim because the hair comes from one donor and is easier to control for cuticle condition, alignment, color potential, and consistency.

Remy Vietnamese hair usually refers to cuticle alignment, where strands are arranged in the same direction. Remy hair is not fake hair. For many African wholesale buyers, Remy hair can be practical because it can fit curls, common color tones, and better price control.

Processed Vietnamese hair may include hair that has been dyed, bleached, steamed, acid-washed, silicone-coated, or chemically treated. Processed hair is not automatically bad. Many 613 blonde, burgundy, piano, highlight, ombre, and uniform wave or curl products need processing. The problem is when processed hair is sold as raw or virgin without explanation.

Before buying, ask:

1. Is this hair raw, virgin, Remy, processed, or mixed?

2. What does the supplier mean by that term?

3. Has the hair been dyed, bleached, steamed, acid-washed, silicone-coated, or chemically treated?

4. Is the texture natural, selected, steamed, heat-styled, or chemically created?

5. Can the supplier show wash proof, weight proof, length proof, ends proof, and packing proof?

If your supplier cannot define the quality type clearly, avoid making strong claims to your buyers.

Vietnamese hair texture types: straight, wavy and curly

The second meaning of Vietnamese hair type is texture. Texture is one of the most important decisions for your salon or resale business because it affects how your buyer imagines the final look.

Vietnamese straight hair is often a practical option for first-time wholesale buyers because it is easier to inspect. You can check smoothness, alignment, shine, shedding, true length, weft quality, and ends more clearly than with complex curls.

Vietnamese bone straight hair is different from regular straight. Bone straight is expected to look sleeker, flatter, and more polished. If your buyers want a very clean, flat finish, ask for actual movement video, wash proof, and dry-after-wash proof before selling regular straight as bone straight.

Vietnamese body wave hair gives soft movement and is easier for customers who want volume without tight curl maintenance. Loose wave gives more visible wave movement. Deep wave gives stronger definition. Water wave gives a wet-look, flowing texture. Curly and kinky curly hair give more volume and stronger style identity.

For wavy and curly textures, you should always ask for wet-to-dry proof. Product photos can look beautiful before washing, but your customer will judge the hair after water, detangling, drying, and installation.

Can Vietnamese hair be naturally curly?

Yes, some Vietnamese people can have naturally wavy or curly hair, but you should be careful with this question in wholesale buying. The fact that natural variation exists does not prove that every Vietnamese curly hair product is naturally curly or unprocessed.

For your business, the safer question is not:

“Can Vietnamese people have curly hair?”

The safer question is:

“Is this specific curly texture natural, selected, steamed, or processed?”

This matters because many consistent commercial textures are created or stabilized during production. That is not always bad. Processed curly or wavy hair can still be useful if the texture is stable and the supplier is honest. The problem is selling processed texture as raw natural curl without proof.

Before buying Vietnamese curly hair, ask for:

1. Wet-to-dry curl comeback video.

2. Texture close-up before and after water.

3. Stretched length measurement.

4. Ends close-up.

5. Shedding or comb-through video.

6. Texture match across bundles, closure, frontal, or wig.

7. Processing history: natural curl, selected curl, steamed curl, or chemically treated curl.

If the supplier cannot explain how the curl was achieved, do not overpromise it as natural raw curly hair.

Vietnamese hair product types: bundles, wigs, lace pieces and bulk hair

The third meaning of Vietnamese hair type is product form. The best product type depends on how your buyers use the hair.

Vietnamese hair bundles are usually the easiest starting point for resellers and salons. They can be used for sew-ins, wigs, ponytails, and custom styling. Bundles are also easier to inspect because you can see the weft, ends, length, and gram weight directly. A common bundle standard is 100g per bundle, and 1kg equals 10 bundles.

Vietnamese bundles with closure are useful when your buyers want a complete install with less lace maintenance than a frontal. Common closure sizes include 2×4, 2×6, 4×4, 5×5, and 6×6. A 4×4 closure is more basic. A 5×5 closure gives more parting space. A 6×6 closure gives a wider top area and a more premium closure install.

Vietnamese bundles with frontal are better for buyers who want full hairline styling. Common frontal sizes include 13×4 and 13×6. A 13×4 frontal gives ear-to-ear coverage with moderate parting depth. A 13×6 frontal gives deeper parting and more styling flexibility.

Vietnamese wigs are useful for customers who want ready-to-wear units. For wigs, you need to check cap size, lace type, knots, hairline, density, texture, true length, and overall construction. Wigs can be convenient, but they also have more complaint points than bundles because the buyer judges the full finished product.

Vietnamese bulk hair is useful for braiding, ventilating, handmade wigs, and custom production. Since bulk hair is not sewn on a weft, you should check alignment, direction, weight, texture, and length more carefully.

Vietnamese hair grade: single drawn, double drawn and super double drawn

The fourth meaning of Vietnamese hair type is drawn grade. This affects fullness from top to ends.

Single Drawn Vietnamese hair usually has more mixed strand lengths. In a practical grading explanation, around 40–45% of strands may reach the same length. It can look natural and cost less, but the ends are usually more tapered.

Double Drawn Vietnamese hair usually has more long strands, around 60–65% reaching the same length. This makes the bundle look fuller through the length and often works well for everyday salon and vendor orders.

Super Double Drawn Vietnamese hair is expected to look fuller toward the ends, often around 80–85% of strands reaching the same length. It is usually positioned as a premium option and should feel heavier and fuller at the bottom.

Choose Single Drawn if your buyers are price-sensitive and understand that the ends may taper. Choose Double Drawn if your customers want a fuller everyday install. Choose Super Double Drawn if your buyers expect premium fullness and are willing to pay more.

The risk is that suppliers may use these grade names differently. Do not trust the label alone. Ask for ends close-up, bundle hanging video, hand-spread proof, and gram scale proof. If your customer is paying for Double Drawn or Super Double Drawn hair, the ends must support that promise.

Vietnamese hair lace types: transparent lace and HD lace

If your Vietnamese hair order includes closure, frontal, or wig, lace type becomes part of the hair type decision.

Transparent lace is common and practical. It has a translucent look and may work for many buyers, but it can still need tinting depending on the customer’s skin tone.

HD lace is thinner and more invisible-looking. It can create a more natural hairline, but it is usually more expensive and more delicate. For price-sensitive African wholesale buyers, HD lace may not always be the best first choice unless the buyer specifically asks for it.

Before buying lace products, ask for:

1. Lace close-up.

2. Knot close-up.

3. Parting proof.

4. Density view.

5. Hairline video.

6. Texture match with bundles.

7. Color match with bundles.

8. Lace size confirmation.

A good bundle cannot fully save a poor lace piece. If the closure or frontal does not match the bundles, the final install can look wrong even when the hair quality is good.

How to choose Vietnamese hair type based on your buyer

The right Vietnamese hair type should match your buyer’s budget, styling expectation, maintenance level, and selling model.

If you are testing a new supplier, start with one or two hair types first. For example, straight bundles and body wave bundles can help you judge basic supplier quality before you add curly textures, lace products, colored hair, or wigs.

What to check before ordering a Vietnamese hair sample

Before approving a sample, compare the evidence you receive with Ravi Hair’s published quality-control standards. This helps you record the same checks for the sample and any later bulk batch.

A sample order should help you verify the hair type, not only receive a small product.

Before paying, confirm:

1. Hair quality type: raw, virgin, Remy, processed, or mixed.

2. Product type: bundles, closure, frontal, wig, extension, or bulk hair.

3. Texture type: straight, bone straight, body wave, loose wave, deep wave, water wave, curly, kinky, or coily.

4. Drawn grade: Single Drawn, Double Drawn, or Super Double Drawn.

5. Length: confirm how straight, wavy, and curly hair are measured.

6. Weight: bundle gram weight or total hair weight.

7. Bundle conversion if buying bundles: confirm whether 1kg equals 10 bundles.

8. Color: natural black, 1B, 613, brown, burgundy, highlight, piano, or ombre.

9. Lace size if relevant: 2×4, 2×6, 4×4, 5×5, 6×6, 13×4, or 13×6.

10. Lace type if relevant: transparent lace, HD lace, or other lace.

11. Processing history: steamed, dyed, bleached, acid-washed, silicone-coated, or chemically treated.

12. Shipping method and estimated delivery time.

13. Replace, refund, or credit rule if the sample does not match approved proof.

For photos, ask for hero photo, model/reference photo if available, texture close-up, weft close-up, lace close-up if relevant, ends/hand photo, length proof, and packing proof.

For video, ask for gram scale, true length measurement, wet-to-dry comeback for wave or curl, wash proof for bone straight, pull or stretch test, comb-through, shedding check, lace close-up if relevant, knot and parting close-up if relevant, and packing proof.

What to confirm before a Vietnamese hair bulk order

Bulk order risk is higher than sample risk because one weak batch can affect many customers. Before approving shipment, confirm the actual order, not only the sample.

Use this checklist:

1. Final order list by SKU, hair type, texture, length, color, grade, lace type, and quantity.

2. Bundle weight per piece and total order weight.

3. True length or stretched length.

4. Texture match across all pieces.

5. Ends fullness by drawn grade.

6. Weft quality and shedding risk.

7. Closure, frontal, or wig match if included.

8. Lace type, knots, parting, density, and hairline if included.

9. Color matching proof for 613 and colored hair.

10. Dryness and shedding proof for blonde or processed color.

11. Current-batch videos, not only old sample videos.

12. Packing list before shipping.

13. Shipping method, tracking process, and receiver details.

14. Replace, refund, or credit rule if shipped goods do not match approved proof.

Do not approve bulk shipment only from catalog photos. Ask for actual order proof before the goods leave the supplier.

Processing time and claim rule to confirm

Color and texture claims can depend on the approved sample. Before production or use, check the evidence and timing conditions in Returns & Exchanges.

Before payment, ask whether your order is a simple catalog product or a more complex custom product.

Simple natural black straight or common black wavy/curly bundle orders are usually easier to process. More complex orders, such as special color, large lace pieces, wigs, pixie-style products, 613 blonde, or difficult custom textures, usually need more time and stricter confirmation.

Before you promise your own customer, ask RaviHair to confirm:

1. Whether the order is catalog or custom.

2. Whether it includes color, lace, wig construction, or difficult texture.

3. Estimated processing time before payment.

4. Whether the order qualifies for claim handling.

5. Whether the hair must remain unwashed, uncut, unused, and in original condition for claim review.

6. How many days after receiving the goods you can report an issue.

This protects both sides. Your business should know the timeline and claim conditions before you resell the order.

Common mistakes to avoid when choosing Vietnamese hair type

The first mistake is using “Vietnamese hair type” without clarifying whether you mean texture, quality type, product type, or grade. A supplier may answer one meaning while you expect another.

The second mistake is assuming all Vietnamese hair is naturally straight. Straight hair is common in the market, but natural variation exists. For wholesale buying, you should verify the specific batch instead of relying on general assumptions.

The third mistake is assuming every Vietnamese curly texture is naturally curly and raw. Ask whether the curl is natural, selected, steamed, or processed.

The fourth mistake is selling regular straight as bone straight. Bone straight buyers expect a sleeker, flatter finish, so you need proof before making that claim.

The fifth mistake is choosing by texture photo only. For wave and curl, ask for wet-to-dry comeback. For straight hair, ask for comb-through, wash behavior, and ends proof. For lace products, ask for lace close-up.

The sixth mistake is not matching hair type to your customer. A budget buyer may not need Super Double Drawn hair. A premium buyer may not accept thin Single Drawn ends. A frontal client may not be satisfied with a closure install.

The seventh mistake is selling blonde curly or blonde wavy hair without explaining quality risk. Bleaching plus curl or wave can make the hair drier and weaker. If quality safety matters more than color, darker wavy or curly hair may be safer.

What is Vietnamese hair type?

Vietnamese hair type can refer to hair quality type, texture, product form, or drawn grade. For wholesale buyers, you should clarify whether the supplier means raw, virgin, Remy, processed, straight, wavy, curly, bundles, wigs, or hair grade.

What texture is Vietnamese hair usually?

Vietnamese hair is commonly sold in straight, wavy, and curly textures. For buying decisions, do not rely only on general texture claims. Ask whether the texture is natural, selected, steamed, heat-styled, or processed.

Can Vietnamese people have curly hair?

Yes, natural hair texture can vary, and some Vietnamese people can have wavy or curly hair. But for wholesale buying, you should verify whether the specific curly product is natural, selected, steamed, or processed.

Is Vietnamese curly hair raw?
