From Factory to Salon: The Journey of Raw Hair Extensions

When you run a salon or hair business, understanding the source and journey of raw hair extensions can help you explain quality to your clients, set premium pricing, and choose the right suppliers.

At SBF Hair, we’re a raw hair extensions manufacturer that supplies 100% unprocessed hair to global markets. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how raw hair travels from donor to doorstep.
 

Step 1: Ethical Sourcing from Single Donors

Raw hair starts at the source. It is cut directly from a single donor, usually in countries like India, Cambodia, Vietnam, or Myanmar. These donors typically have long, healthy, untreated hair that’s never been colored, permed, or chemically processed.

Tip: Always ask if your supplier uses single-donor hair for consistency in texture and color.

Step 2: Gentle Washing & Sanitizing

After collection, the hair is carefully cleaned using mild shampoos and natural treatments to remove dirt, oils, and debris—without damaging the cuticles. Unlike processed hair, no silicone, acid, or synthetic coating is used.

This ensures the raw hair retains its natural shine, softness, and durability.

Step 3: Sorting by Length & Texture

Once cleaned, the hair is sorted manually by length, color, and natural texture (straight, wavy, or curly). Since raw hair isn’t factory-processed into uniform styles, this step requires skilled workers who understand hair integrity.

Note: Minor variations in bundles are normal — that’s what makes raw hair authentic.
 

Step 4: Double Wefting for Strength

To prepare it for commercial use, the hair is then sewn into double-stitched wefts, which help reduce shedding and improve durability. We use a machine-wefting process that reinforces the structure without damaging the hair strands.
 

Step 5: Quality Check at the Factory

Before shipment, every batch undergoes strict quality control, checking for:

• Proper cuticle alignment

• Zero chemical treatments

• No tangles or lice

• Minimal shedding

We take pride in shipping only Grade A raw hair bundles that meet global standards.
 

Step 6: Packaging & Branding

The final step before shipping is custom packaging and labeling. Whether you’re a salon, online store, or distributor, we offer OEM/ODM private labeling for your brand.

Each bundle is carefully packed to prevent moisture or tangling during delivery.
 

Step 7: Global Delivery to Your Business

We ship to over [XX] countries via air or sea, depending on your volume. With fast, secure logistics, you can rest assured that your raw hair arrives on time and in perfect condition.
