Why I Chose Vietnamese Hair Over Indian Hair: A Personal and Ethical Decision

In the hair industry, the sourcing of raw and virgin hair is as important as its quality. For me, this decision wasn’t just about providing premium products, it was about aligning my business with my personal values. After extensive research and reflection, I made the choice to focus on Vietnamese hair rather than Indian hair, and I’m confident it was the right decision.

Indian hair is often sourced from temples where it is donated as part of a religious offering. Here’s how it works:

Religious Practice: Donors shave their heads in temples as an act of devotion, sacrificing their hair as an offering to Hindu deities. This is a deeply spiritual practice tied to the Hindu faith.

Auctioned for Profit: Temples then sell the hair in bulk to hair vendors, generating revenue for their religious institutions. While the quality of Indian hair is widely recognised, the process itself is rooted in religious practices.

As a Christian, this practice doesn’t align with my faith or the values I want my business to represent. While I respect the beliefs of others, I feel it’s important for my sourcing methods to reflect my personal convictions.

Vietnamese hair, on the other hand, is ethically sourced directly from donors. Here’s why it stands out:

Donor-Based Collection: Vietnamese hair is collected from women in rural areas who grow and sell their hair voluntarily. This process ensures that the hair is sourced ethically and with the donor’s consent.

Natural Care Practices: Vietnamese women often care for their hair using natural oils and traditional methods, resulting in healthy, strong, and shiny strands. This natural quality makes Vietnamese hair a premium choice for wigs, extensions, and custom units.

Faith-Aligned Values: Because Vietnamese hair is sourced from willing individuals rather than religious offerings, it aligns more closely with my faith and the ethical principles of my business.

While both Indian and Vietnamese hair are known for their quality, Vietnamese hair has unique characteristics that make it my preferred choice:

Thickness and Strength: Vietnamese hair is naturally thick and strong, making it ideal for creating long-lasting wigs and extensions.

Consistency: Vietnamese hair is collected from a smaller pool of donors, which ensures consistency in texture and quality.

Low Maintenance: Thanks to the natural care practices of donors, Vietnamese hair requires less processing and retains its lustre and softness over time.

My decision to prioritise Vietnamese hair isn’t just about quality; it’s about staying true to my faith and ensuring that my business practices reflect my personal beliefs. By sourcing Vietnamese donor hair, I’m able to provide my clients with high-quality products that are ethically and responsibly produced.
