im still new to the virgin hair situation, got in the game 2 1/2 yrs ago,
ive been VERY thankful both purchases have been above par HOWEVER
im bout to sat my genius azz down & start ordering my hair from aliexpress
top producers JUST like the vendors do i know i can do it AND with EXCELLENT results

my questions to ALL you genius bhm hair divas' that purchase
your hair "yourself" NO middlewoman (or) man:

1. how do you know which vendor to go with?

2. what's the best way to pay paypal or credit card direct?

3. what strategies do you use to ensure you're getting the best hair?

4. how do you get them to guarantee a money return or to replace hair?

im thinking imma get some new years eve hair, a really good batch of peruvian wavy/curly
is what im adding to my now stash i did brazillian wavy, i did deep curly, time
for peruvian wavy/curly & the kicker is im ready to do it myself as ive figured out the
hair game now yet i do VALUE bhm hair divas opinion as this is how i got wise

I hear about so many people who jut saw a good deal and just purchased right away without talking to the vendor first Become best friends with them. Ask how their day is going. They love that stuff. Ask lots of questions about hair origins and the processes the hair goes through. Sometimes you'll get a vendor who insists their hair is really Brazilian. And sometimes you'll get a vendor who will tell you the truth. Tell them you're on the hunt for a new supplier for a website or store. As far as my PV knows I'm a hair stylist dealing exclusively with kinky straight and italian yaki textures

Yes, all of the above. I also do a search on Google and BHM to see if suppliers have any complaints / bad reviews against them.
