Vietnamese hair types: how to choose the right hair for your customers

Choosing the right Vietnamese hair gets much easier when you know exactly what each specification changes for your customer. In this guide, you will learn how Remy vs Virgin, texture, fullness and product form affect the final look, price and customization potential, so you can avoid overpaying for features your customer does not need.

By the end, you will be able to turn a vague request like “I want Vietnamese hair” into a clear specification that is easier to quote, stock and sell.

What are the main types of Vietnamese hair?

The phrase “hair type” can describe several different things. One supplier may use it to mean Remy versus Virgin, while another may use it to mean Straight versus Wavy versus Curly. A third supplier may be talking about Single Drawn, Double Drawn or Super Double Drawn.

These distinctions are all useful, but they answer different buying questions. Quality affects sourcing, price and customization potential, while texture affects the finished look. Fullness changes how heavy the ends appear, and product form determines how the hair will be installed or sold.

This is why “I want Virgin Hair” is still not a complete order. You still need to know whether the customer wants 20-inch Natural Straight, Body Wave or Kinky Curly, and you also need the desired fullness, color and construction. Good sourcing starts with the finished result, not just the category name.

Vietnamese hair types by quality

Vietnamese remy hair for a more accessible price

Vietnamese Remy Hair is still human hair. In this product system, Remy can be made from multiple donor sources, which gives you a lower starting price than the premium one-donor Virgin specification. That makes it practical when your customer wants good human hair but does not need the strongest customization potential.

For customers who mainly want Natural Black, brown, burgundy, red or other moderate colors, Remy can often meet the need without pushing the order into the premium price tier. At 20 inches, Natural Black Remy Hair is approximately $39.30 per 100g for Single Drawn, $44.50 for Double Drawn and $54.40 for Super Double Drawn. Those three prices let you adjust fullness without changing the underlying hair category.

Suppose your customer wants three 20-inch Double Drawn bundles. The reference hair cost is approximately $133.50. If she does not plan to bleach the hair toward very light blonde shades, paying more for Virgin may not give her a benefit she will actually use.

Vietnamese virgin hair for premium customization

Vietnamese Virgin Hair is positioned around one-donor sourcing, intact cuticles and more consistent strand alignment. Those characteristics become more relevant when your customer wants premium sourcing consistency or more demanding color customization. The reason to choose Virgin should therefore come from what she plans to do with the hair.

At 20 inches, a Double Drawn Remy Natural Straight bundle is approximately $44.50 per 100g, while the Virgin Straight/Wavy reference is around $70.50. That is a difference of $26 per bundle, or approximately $78 across three bundles. Before your customer pays that premium, you should be able to explain what the extra money is buying.

If she wants Natural Black for an everyday installation, Remy may already solve the problem. If she wants one-donor sourcing or intends to push the hair toward demanding light-color work, Virgin becomes easier to justify. This is more useful than telling every buyer that Virgin is automatically better.

What about raw Vietnamese hair?

You will also see Raw Vietnamese Hair throughout the market, but the word “Raw” needs more care. Some suppliers use it to describe minimally processed donor hair, while others use it as the name of a separate commercial premium line. That means the label alone does not tell you enough.

Ask how many donors are involved, what processing has been done, what product form is available and how much each bundle weighs. For the current Ravi Hair Raw line, the practical focus is weft bundles of about 100g, with lengths extending roughly from 10 to 36 inches. The safest rule is to ask for the exact specification behind the word “Raw” and then test the actual product.

Vietnamese hair types by texture

Quality tells you what sits underneath the finished style, but texture determines what your customer sees first. A premium hair specification will still disappoint her if you choose the wrong pattern. This is why texture should be selected from the finished hairstyle backward.

The main commercial texture families in this article include Straight, Wavy and Curly. Straight options include Natural Straight, Bone Straight and Kinky Straight, while Wavy options include Natural Wavy, Body Wave, Loose Wave, Deep Wave and Water Wave. Curly options include Loose Curly, Deep Curly, Burmese Curly and Kinky Curly.

These are commercial texture names rather than a universal scientific scale. Actual patterns can vary slightly between suppliers, so the current product photo, video or sample matters when the difference between two textures is important.

Natural straight, bone straight and kinky straight

Natural Straight works best when your customer wants a clean straight look with natural movement. It is not designed to look aggressively flat, which makes it suitable for everyday sew-ins, wigs and customers who want versatility. A 20-inch Double Drawn Remy Natural Straight bundle is approximately $44.50 per 100g.

Bone Straight moves further toward a sleek and polished finish. The main reason to choose it is visual, because the customer wants straighter, flatter hair from the beginning. If she keeps using a flat iron on Natural Straight every day to force that look, she may simply have chosen the wrong texture.

Kinky Straight goes in the opposite direction by keeping a straight silhouette while adding more visible texture and body. It works well when the customer wants straight hair without a flat appearance. This can also help you solve some volume requests without automatically adding another full bundle.

Vietnamese wavy hair types

Natural Wavy is the softest option in the wavy family. It gives the hair more movement than Straight Hair but does not create a strongly repeated pattern. This is useful for buyers who want subtle texture rather than an obviously styled wave.

Body Wave creates broader curves and more visual body. It is a strong option when your customer says she wants volume but does not want curls. A 20-inch Double Drawn Remy Body Wave reference is around $48 per 100g, compared with $44.50 for the Natural Straight base, so the three-bundle difference is about $10.50.

Loose Wave creates more visible repeated waves than Body Wave. The pattern remains relatively open, but it reads more clearly as styled texture. If the customer’s reference image shows obvious waves throughout most of the length, Loose Wave may fit better than Body Wave.

Deep Wave creates a stronger and more repeated pattern. The wave itself becomes one of the main features of the hairstyle, which gives the finished look more visual texture. Adding another Body Wave bundle gives you more hair, but it does not turn Body Wave into Deep Wave, so choose the texture first and the quantity second.

Water Wave sits between a pronounced wave and a softer curl. It works well when the customer wants more texture than Body Wave but still wants the hair to remain loose and flowing. Because Water Wave and Deep Wave can vary between suppliers, a current-batch video is more useful than relying only on the product name.

Vietnamese curly hair types

Loose Curly is useful for buyers who want clearly visible curls but still prefer an open pattern. It gives the hairstyle a curl-focused look without moving into a tight texture. This makes it a natural step up from the softer wave family.

Deep Curly gives stronger curl definition and usually creates more visual body. If a customer says she wants “bigger hair,” ask whether she means more actual hair or more texture. Sometimes the pattern creates much of the volume she is looking for.

Burmese Curly should be treated as a separate commercial texture rather than just another name for Deep Curly. The safest way to sell it is to compare current-batch photos or videos with the customer’s reference image. Texture names help organize products, but they cannot show every curve in the actual bundle.

Kinky Curly sits toward the tighter end of the collection and creates stronger visual texture. It is the right choice when tighter curls are genuinely what your customer wants. The tighter option is not automatically better, because a customer asking for soft open curls may actually be less satisfied with a stronger Kinky Curly pattern.

Vietnamese hair types by fullness

Texture controls the pattern, while drawn level controls how full the ends look. This gives you another way to manage a customer’s budget without immediately offering a discount. In the Remy specification used here, Single, Double and Super Double Drawn represent different proportions of main-length strands. Markdown đã dán (1)

These percentages describe this product specification rather than a universal standard used identically by every Vietnamese hair supplier. The practical value is that they show what your customer is paying for. More fullness means more long strands remain close to the advertised length.

Single drawn for a lower starting price

Single Drawn contains more shorter strands through the bundle, so the ends taper more naturally. At 20 inches, the reference price is approximately $39.30 per 100g, compared with $54.40 for Super Double Drawn. Across three bundles, that difference reaches $45.30.

This can be useful when your customer cares more about keeping the 20-inch length than having very heavy ends. Instead of reducing the length or immediately discounting the order, you can reduce the fullness level. The customer keeps the feature she values most and accepts more natural taper.

Double drawn for balance

Double Drawn increases the proportion of main-length strands to approximately 60–65%. At 20 inches, the Remy Natural Black reference is around $44.50 per 100g. This makes it a practical middle option for buyers who find Single Drawn too tapered but do not need the heaviest Super Double Drawn ends.

For many salons and vendors, Double Drawn can work well as a core option because the reason behind the price is easy to explain. The customer gets visibly fuller ends without moving into the highest fullness tier. That creates a clear balance between appearance and cost.

Super double drawn for fuller ends

Super Double Drawn reaches approximately 80–85% main-length strands in this specification. The bottom therefore looks heavier and fuller. The reason to pay more is primarily end fullness, not automatically better donor quality.

This distinction matters because it prevents you from overselling the product. If your customer’s style depends on thick, heavy ends, the upgrade has a clear reason. If she plans a heavily layered cut, paying extra for maximum end fullness may be less useful.

Vietnamese hair types by product form

The same hair can be sold in different forms depending on how your customer plans to use it. Weft bundles give the salon or wig maker the most flexibility, while closures and frontals provide lace coverage. Wigs combine those components into a finished product.

A standard weft bundle is commonly around 100g. Bundles work well when your customer wants control over length combinations, bundle quantity and final construction. They are especially practical for salons, resellers and wig makers who prefer to build the finished style themselves.

Closures cover a smaller top area and commonly come in sizes such as 4×4, 5×5, 6×6 and 7×7. They can reduce the amount of natural hair that needs to be left out while using less lace than a frontal. This makes them useful when your customer wants a simpler lace area and controlled cost.

Frontals cover a wider section across the front hairline, with common sizes such as 13×4 and 13×6. The larger lace area gives the stylist more freedom around the front and parting. That extra styling space is the main reason a frontal usually costs more than a smaller closure.

A finished wig is different because the customer is no longer buying only components. A typical wig may use around 2–3 bundles plus a closure or frontal, but the final quote also depends on cap construction, density, lace, color and customization. That is why you should not calculate a wig price by simply adding three bundle prices and one closure.

Which Vietnamese hair type should you choose?

The easiest way to choose is to start from what the customer needs the hair to do. If she wants 20-inch Natural Black Straight Hair and does not plan demanding color work, a Double Drawn Remy option around $44.50 per 100g may already solve the requirement. If she wants a premium one-donor base for light-color customization, the Virgin Straight/Wavy reference at the same length is around $70.50.

If she wants more body without curls, Kinky Straight may solve the visual problem before you add another bundle. If she wants softer volume, Body Wave is a better starting point, while Deep Wave makes sense when the texture itself should dominate the hairstyle. Every product choice should connect to a visible customer need.

When the quote becomes too high, change the variable the customer values least. You can reduce length, lower the fullness level or move from Virgin to Remy when the intended use allows it. This protects your margin better than discounting the same specification without changing anything.

Do not choose Vietnamese hair from the name alone

Understanding the terminology helps you choose the right sample, but it does not prove the hair performs well. If you are evaluating a new supplier, start with approximately 100g in the exact quality, texture and length you plan to sell. Test the product under the same conditions your customers are likely to use.

A simple internal protocol can include 3 washes, 40 controlled comb passes, 100 brush strokes, a 20-strand check and a 10g processing swatch when your customers normally color the hair. These numbers are not universal pass-or-fail standards. Their value is that they let you compare two matched samples using the same method.

For example, “this hair feels premium” is difficult to compare objectively. Three catches in 40 comb passes versus 12 catches in the same test gives you something specific to investigate. After one sample performs well, reorder the same specification again because one excellent bundle does not yet prove batch consistency.

How to build a Vietnamese hair collection without overstocking

A large catalog does not automatically create a strong hair business. Once you combine multiple lengths, textures, fullness levels, quality tiers, colors, closures, frontals and wigs, your cash can quickly become spread across too many slow-moving SKUs. A smaller collection with clearly different reasons to buy is often easier to sell and restock.

A practical starting range could include Natural Straight for everyday straight styles, Body Wave for soft volume, Deep Wave for stronger definition, Kinky Straight for textured-straight customers and Deep Curly or Kinky Curly for curl-focused buyers. Remy can give you a more accessible quality tier, while Virgin can serve customers who genuinely need the premium specification. Double Drawn can work as a practical middle fullness level, with Single and Super Double Drawn available when the customer specifically wants lower cost or heavier ends.

Then let real demand expand the collection. If customers repeatedly ask for Water Wave, test it and add it. If 24-inch Kinky Curly sells faster than shorter lengths, move more inventory into that combination instead of spreading your budget evenly across every option.

Faq about Vietnamese hair types

What Are the Main Types of Vietnamese Hair?

Vietnamese hair can be classified by quality, texture, fullness and product form. Quality categories include Remy and Virgin, while some suppliers also offer Raw as a separate commercial line. Texture includes Straight, Wavy and Curly variations, while fullness includes Single, Double and Super Double Drawn.

Is Remy Vietnamese Hair Real Human Hair?

Yes, Remy is human hair. In this product system, the main difference from Virgin is related to donor sourcing, uniformity and intended customization. It is not a distinction between human hair and synthetic hair.

Is Virgin Vietnamese Hair Better Than Remy?

Not automatically for every customer. Virgin becomes more relevant when one-donor sourcing, premium consistency or demanding light-color customization matters. Remy can give you better value when the customer mainly wants Natural Black or moderate colors.

What Is the Difference Between Single and Double Drawn Hair?

Single Drawn has approximately 40–45% main-length strands in this product specification, while Double Drawn increases that to around 60–65%. Super Double Drawn reaches approximately 80–85%. The main visible difference is how full the ends look.

How Much Does Vietnamese Hair Cost?

Price depends on quality, length, fullness, texture and customization. At 20 inches Natural Black Remy, the reference price is approximately $39.30 per 100g for Single Drawn, $44.50 for Double Drawn and $54.40 for Super Double Drawn. The 20-inch Virgin Straight/Wavy reference is around $70.50 per 100g.

How Much Hair Should I Order to Test a Supplier?

Approximately 100g is a practical starting sample when available. Choose the exact quality, texture and a similar length to what you plan to sell, then wash, comb, brush and process a small swatch if relevant. If the sample performs well, reorder the same specification once more before increasing inventory significantly.

Choose the Vietnamese hair type your customer will actually use

You do not need the most expensive Vietnamese hair. You need the specification that solves your customer’s actual problem at a cost she is willing to pay. That means choosing quality for intended use, texture for appearance, fullness for the ends and product form for the final installation.

Use Remy when your customer needs a more accessible human-hair option and does not require demanding light-color customization. Use Virgin when one-donor sourcing, stronger consistency or premium customization potential actually matters. Then choose Natural Straight, Body Wave, Deep Wave, Kinky Straight or Curly textures according to the hairstyle she wants, and use Single, Double or Super Double Drawn to control end fullness and price.

Most importantly, do not let the product name make the final decision for you. Request the exact Vietnamese hair type you plan to sell, test approximately 100g under real washing and styling conditions, and reorder the same specification once to check consistency. The specification should help you choose what to test, but the sample should prove whether the hair deserves a place in your inventory.
