CHAPTER ONE
CHINA IMPORTATION
INTRODUCTION TO MINI IMPORTATION
As the name implies it is the mini way of bring in goods to your country or country of
residence. You can import cars, clothes, household items, party essentials and many more
and make very good profits from them.
China has become the hub of trade and commerce for most of the world's brands we
patronize, their products are cheap and you make a very good profit from it.
1. YOU
2. THE SELLER
3. THE BUYING AGENT (these agents will help you buy from the sites you will be given
in this later in this book)
You don't need a license for mini-importation, all you need is the knowledge that will be
shared here in this class and the capital to start.
USEFUL TERMS
1. Local Shipping Fee: The amount you pay the supplier to take your item to the
shipping agent/shipping company
3. Packing: this is when all item purchased are being packed into one parcel
5
7. Supplier : the person you purchase an item from
8. Agent: the person that help negotiate your procurement with your suppliers
9. Warehouse: a building where goods are stored before after they are shipped
How to use the logistics company to bring in the goods for you.
6
YOU WANT TO SELL AND MAKE VERY GOOD PROFIT
STEPS 1: OPEN YOUR CHROME BROWSER
This is a Chinese site owned by Alibaba, it's meant for the Chinese hence it is written in
Chinese language. on this site things are very cheap, you can find an item that sells at
#2,000 in Nigeria for only #200 here in the site.
This is where most sellers on eBay, Amazon and other stores get their items from.
The site was made for the Chinese alone to get very cheap and quality items.but you can
access it here in Nigeria only through a translator app from google.
7
STEP 3: After you have successfully added it, then open a new tab and type
https://1688.com and hit the enter key
NOTICE!!!
3. A GOOD INTERNET
8
INTERFACE OF THE 1688 WEBSITE WITHOUT AFTER THE GOOGLE
TRANSLATE EXTENSION IS INSTALLED:
After you have added the extension to the chrome browser, you will notice the presence of
the new icon at the top side area of the browser as indicated with the arrow.
STEP 4: click on the icon and chose translate this page option
9
AFTER THE PAGE IS TRANSLATED COMPLETELY, YOU’LL HAVE
As you can see from above figure, now, the webpage is fully translate to English, this
makes it easy for you to explore the site.
There two main ways to state searching for products on this site;
1. Typing the name of the item on the space as indicated in the figure below
2. Using picture search, this is useful when you do not know the name of the product
but you have the picture, just click on the camera icon at the front of the search as
indicated in 2 below
10
1
Just type the name of what you want to buy and click on the search tab icon
For example, let’s search for “men official shoe” or “men formal shoe”
A new tab is opened and you have the search results. Note, if the page is not loading in
English language, just click the translate icon, it will be translated.
From here you can click on which of these items you want to buy, a new page will be
opened where you get the specification and you have the opportunity to navigate through
to know more about the seller, the product and other information that we would be
discussing later.
For the purpose of training, I will select the first product of this page

Then I landed here, on the product store.

14
It means that if you are buying just from two pairs to 9 pairs you will pay Y75. However,
the Y74 price is saying if you are buying from 10pairs, you will pay
1d
This is where you will chose the location of the shipping company you want to use to ship
the item to your country. I will explain more in the shipping section later, but for the course
of this training I have selected where the seller would send my order to; Guangdong
District, and Guangzhou and for that I will be charged addition Y9, the local shipping cost.
Local shipping fee is the amount the seller charges you to take the item to the shipping
company in China.

17
NEXT IN THIS TRAINIG IS HOW TO KNOW QUALITY PRODUCTS.
❖ The first investigation is to check is the seller is real or not which I have explained in page
13. Above, but further investigation about the quality is the “Buyers Reviews.”
If you check the reviews of this product it scores zero, but it has 5 star rating, it shows no
negative feedback as well as no positive feedback.
❖ Also, The praise rating is 100%
Here the buyers gave the seller 5stars but we may still need to know exactly what the
buyers said about what they bought. Click where a total of 5 is written, if you the item has
comments it will be displayed.
❖ Product details: when you scroll down the page, locate the “Product Detail” and
click on the drop-down menu to see all details of the product.
18
When you click on it, you will see a complete page opened. This contain every
information the seller is willing to let the buyer know of.
❖ Next is the Product Description: when you click on the Product Description link, all
pictures of the product is displayed, size charts, etc.
Another usefulness of this is that, you can right-click on the any of pictures and
copy it to your word document to save for future use. You can post it on your
WhatsApp and or any folder, just to archive it.
19
SUMMARY OF CHAPTER ONE:
NOTICE!!!
20
21
CHAPTER TWO
The Objective of this chapter is to explain how you can actually pay a supplier on the
1688.com website.
Before I dive into this, I will like to explain to you that you can either buy directly from a
supplier or you buy through an agent.
If you are buying from Suppliers directly, you can always beg them to reduce the MOQ for
you, if you don’t want to buy up to the MOQ stated on the item you want to order for
You can also bargain the supplier to reduce the price of what you are buying and they may
accept
So, if you must buy directly from supplier, WeChat is a must for you, because most
suppliers in China are not on WhatsApp, WhatsApp is outdated to them, not common over
there, So the best and easiest way to reach a supplier is through WeChat, though few of
them of them are on WhatsApp, but takes time for them to respond when you send chat
message.
22
HOW TO CHAT/MESSAGE WITH THE SUPPLIERS
The good news is that WeChat app has a translate feature so you'll need to long press on the
seller’s response and you would see a dialog box then you can click on translate.
Each Suppliers contact is on each product on 1688.com, click on the Contact details on the
item page as shown above.
23
Steps on how to use Google translate to convert language to English, if the
supplier you are buying from does not understand English
you can also see the address and other details like specification (weight, length, height,
color size) of the product there
If you didn't see from a Supplier, check from another supplier for that same product, you
will see some suppliers that will drop the weight details of the product and if after checking
that, you did not see it there, Check from Alibaba (www.alibaba.com)for the weight of
the product, it will surely be there. Let's continue
You can also see some suppliers contact, product and graphics details if you scroll the page
https://m.1688.com/offer/521344801532.html?spm=a261b.7662792.1998744630.19
24
Gas indicator
If you scroll down this link page, you see the suppliers’ contact details around bottom of
the page, WhatsApp and WeChat contact are there also there
You can also message them directly on the site without WeChat, I will still be explaining
that later.
Even if the suppliers contact is not on his page on the product page, you can message
him/her directly from the site.
Please note that they usually do not understand much English so don't begin to write
grammar because they will get confuse, some won't understand and just neglect you since
they don’t understand what you are expressing, just write simple and Basic English
All these should be in Chinese language first. Google translate will do that for you. You
would be surprised that some of them can write English. If he/ she responds yes then it
makes communication easier
Add +86 to the beginning of the number and add on WhatsApp or WeChat. +86 is the
international dialing code of China
PAYING A SUPPLIER
Most Chinese suppliers make use of Alipay. So, after you have discussed with them, what
you do is to contact an exchanger like I have explained before.
25
WHO IS AN EXCAHNGER?
An exchanger is the broker between you, and the Chinese supplier, what the exchangers do
is simply that, you will send them the account number of the supplier usually some
barcode, then you send the equivalent amount you want to pay in naira to the naira account
of the exchanger, the exchanger will send the amount to the supplier in YUAN/RMB
Alipay is the bank that Chinese suppliers use, we can't pay the suppliers directly from
Nigeria, but with the help of a money exchanger you can pay them. you pay the money
exchanger, then they'll pay the supplier and then give you screenshot evidence to show
your suppliers
You only need money exchangers when you want to buy through Suppliers directly, this is
what they do, after you have sent the link of your goods to your supplier, so after the
calculation of your total purchase, they send you an Alipay account to pay to, so you use
money exchangers to help you convert your own Naira/Cedis money to Yuan/Rmb
After making payment, your agent or supplier will ask you for the address of your shipper
(a shipping company). You have to send them the address of a shipper of your choice in
this format
Full name
26
Money exchangers are merchant that have Chinese accounts, we have so many
Nigerian money exchangers, I will be listing some
You will send naira to the money exchanger and they will in turn pay the supplier
Their exchange rate is 1yuan to 77naira or cheaper based on the amount of yuan you're
buying.
You'll send the money exchanger 50×77 =3850 naira and he would send the yuan
equivalent to your supplier
SUMMARY:
you send the link of the item you want to buy, you negotiate
the you send the money to the exchanger in naira, then the exchanger send the money to
the supplier in yuan/rmb,
then you send the proof of payment to the supplier using WhatsApp or WeChat,
27
B. THROUGH AN AGENT.
Basically, the reason I will recommend this, buying through an agent is that you don’t
fall victim of internet scam. What happens is that you visit the website, you search for the
item you want to buy, them when you get the item you want to buy, you just copy the
item link and send to the agent. You will include your specifications, e.g., as we have on
page 15
Link: https://detail.1688.com/offer/632246830393.html?spm=a26352.13672862.offerlist.98.4d4b1e62xjvfYO
CHINA AGENTS:
1. Purchasing agents: they only buy goods for you and send to your shipping agent or
company
2. Shipping agent: they don’t buy goods. They only ship goods from China to Nigeria
There are some agents that do both. It's important to ask them so you don't find yourself in
a fix
You can use any of them below they are all trustworthy
Contact of Agents
28
These are purchasing/ procurement agents and they are on WhatsApp, if you don't want to
buy directly from the supplier, you can go to 1688, search for product, send the link to the
product you want to buy to your agent, your agent will purchase the product for you and
send it to shipping company to be way billed down to Nigeria
After an agent receives your links that are properly arranged, they will cost it and send the
total cost to you including their commission. Some of the agents have Nigerian Bank
accounts while others don't.
For those that have Nigerian Bank accounts, all you need to do is to pay directly into their
account, simple!
For those without Nigerian Bank accounts, you ask them for their Alipay Account. Then
you contact an exchanger that will make payment for you. You pay naira into their account
and they will pay your agent in Chinese currency for you.
All the Purchasing agent I listed have a Naira account you can pay to
Michael works with any shipping company, I.e., he can help you buy and send to any
shipping company you wish to use. But if you are using Michael with Skycargo shipping
29
company, you will need to message Wendy (Sky cargo packaging agent) coz Sky cargo
don’t pack except with the packaging agent, Sky cargo sends goods to Nigeria every day.
But if you use Womata agent, they work directly with SkyCargo, so they pack
But Michael works with other shipping companies, they will pack, I hope you understand
this
WOMATA are purchasing agents that works with SkyCargo shipping company for
shipping to Nigeria
Amara is also a good buying agent; she shows you the quotation sent from the Supplier
with express fee.
She also sends you the video of your goods as she receives it from each supplier
If you buy from Supplier, you can inform the shipping agent that you are expecting some
goods from other suppliers that he should pack together
✴Buying from agent, agent packs your goods together before sending to the shipping
company branch in China.
SUMMARY:
You can also drop a message for them, they will read it when its morning there.
30
CHAPTER THREE
SHIPPING
The transportation of your goods from one place to another is called shipping, so moving
your purchased items from the China to Nigeria is called shipping here.
1. AIR SHIPPING
2. SEA SHIPPING.
The companies that help transport your goods to Nigeria are hereby referred to as
international shipping company.
1. Express and
2. Normal delivery
Express delivery: here you'll get your goods within 2-4days Faster but more
expensive
Over the eight years of my mini-importation experience, I have used many shipping
companies, and I can tell you that, I have carefully selected the best shipping companies in
Nigeria for you in this book, I have used response rate, customer relation experience, and
dollar to naira exchange rate to grade them.

3.33.4851adccssH4BJ
❖ Price = 47yuan
❖ Local logistics: 12yuan
❖ Let's assume we are buying 10 piece
❖ 47yuan x 10pieces = 470yuan
❖ Plus 12yuan for delivery = 470 + 12 =482yuan
❖ Agents commission is 5% of total cost of items purchased.
❖ 5% of 482 yuan is 24.1yuan
❖ Total cost for buying plus commission = 482 + 24.1yuan = 506.1yuan
❖ Since 1yuan is 77naira
❖ 506.1 yuan = 77 x 506.1 = #38,970
❖ Total cost of 10 power Belt WITHOUT SHIPPING AND CLEARING is 38,970
This is the only money you pay before your goods arrive in Nigeria
Let's assume the company changes $6/kg for shipping and N500/kg for custom clearing.
Now we know that the weight of 1 power belt is 200g (as seen in graphic details)
36
❖ Since 1000g = 1kg
❖ 2000g = 2kg
❖ Add 1kg extra for packaging
❖ Total weight = 3kg
❖ Since $6 = 400 x 6 =2,400naira
❖ Clearing = 500naira
❖ Total for 1kg = 2,400 + 500 = 2900naira
❖ Since we have 3kg, we will simply multiply the amount above by 3
❖ Hence, 2,900 x 3 = 8,700
Hence total amount to be paid for shipping and clearing is 8,700 (this is the amount you
pay after your goods land in Lagos)
Therefore,
37
HOW TO AVOID SCAMMERS AND INFERIOR GOODS ON 1688.
1. Check out How Many Years he has been a Supplier on 1688.
PS: If the Minimum Years is not up to 3, I discourage people from buying from them
2. Check out How Many Transaction he has carried out on that Product or other products
PS: If the number of transactions is not More than 100 on any of their products, Don't buy
from him.
3. Don't ask too many Questions. When you’re asking too Many Questions, He Assumes
you're new. Then He will ask you If You've Imported Before.
Just ask about the Price, MOQ and Shipping Cost. That's all.
Turnover
The following are the different stages of importing goods from 1688 with agent:
38
➢ Goods arrives Nigeria in Lagos.
➢ You pay the clearance fee and shipping cost
➢ You collect your goods if you

Hot product are unique and sometimes uncommon product that solves major problem, if
you want to be successful in Importation business, you must not import what every other
person is importing, you have to bring some form of uniqueness to your business in order
49
to excel. Hot product are unique and sometimes uncommon product that solves major
problem,
The idea of visiting these websites above is not to buy from them.
You're supposed to use it to search for products that you think will move within your
locality
You are to save the picture and then use it to search on 1688 so you can buy it at a cheaper
rate
50
YOUR IDEAL PRODUCT THAT YOU SHOULD IMPORT
SHOULD BE
-Very cheap
The simple logic is to import items with very little cost of buying and bring them to
Nigeria.
Let’s say you spend N2, 000 or below and when you resell them you can make a profit of
1. Consumable goods
2. Luxury goods
3. Goods that solve a particular problem that a lot of people will buy very fast
4. Items that have less weight with low price say between 1 dollar to 3 dollars.
You can also import product that are not found in local market. This type of product are
Car tracker
Beard Oil
Wristwatch
51
slimming Tea
Waist trainer is selling hot right now, I have a student that combines it with bare lift
Butt enhancer
Also
Baby Accessories
All these are hot product that sells like crack, some of them are really unique,
uncommon and not readily available and good thing it's solving problem
You can as well research new products in Nigeria market. Ensure the product have high
demand, be the first to bring it down before others wake up
52
CHAPTER SEVEN
You contact them to go and get the package for you if you're not in Lagos. They will
collect it and keep it in their office.
Anytime you have orders, simply forward the details to them and they will deliver, collect
your money and send the money to your account.
Deal closed
Let's face reality, Nigerians are not scared of buying online but they are scared of
scams
So you want to make 6-7 figure in the next 6months you will need to apply pay on
delivery.
But don't worry, nothing like return on my own importation business. The secret am using
is what I want to teach you. And you don't need to make all the mistakes we made while
we were starting up
in case you want to embark on nationwide delivery of your goods.....you can use this local
delivery companies, you should call/ text them, then they'll tell you how to register with
them, if customers outside your location demands for product, they can help waybill the
goods for you, they can even collect the money from Customers on your behalf in case
you want to do payment on delivery and pay directly into your account....so feel free to
call and chat them up
This is the method I use for my business, once any customer demands for product, the
delivery company helps me deliver the item, collects the money on my behalf, remove
their own fee and pay me my money directly to my bank account
Amongst them, Abeytronics is the best they are fast, reliable and good, others are also
good as well
54
Chapter seven
SHIPPING
There are three types of shipping
1. Express Shipping: This kind of shipping takes 2 - 7days max it is recommended for very
light weight goods or for those that need their goods very urgently. Price is calculated
based on weight.
2. Normal Shipping: This is what most mini importers use, it takes an average of 21days to
arrive and is cheaper than express. Price is calculated based on weight.
3 Sea Shipping: This is recommended for those who are buying in very large quantities or
those who are buying heavy items such as furniture, washing machines etc. Price is
calculated based on space occupied in the container CBM Cubic per Meter.
SEA SHIPPING
1. Full Container Load (FCL): This is used when your goods can fill up a whole container.
They have a flat rate which is charged per container whether the container is filled or not
mostly $5000 per container.
This container is loaded by the supplier or manufacturer and then shipped by your shipping
company to the port in nigera( Apapa or Lagos Island).
Your bill of laden is issued by the official shipping line or freight forwarder and a few
other documentation depending on the shipping company.
2. LCL: Less than Container Load (LCL). This is also known as groupage shipping or
consolidation.
This means you are sharing space and cost with other shippers like you in a con…
55
This is the best option for very heavy goods because it makes it cheaper.
Sea shipping literally means shipping in containers by ship on the sea as against cargo or
airfreight which is shipped by air or plane (the one most of us are used to).
Sea shipping is the best and sometimes only option for heavy goods. They also take a
minimum of 45 to 60days or more
For LCL they use a particular shipping bag with your name largely written on it in other to
differentiate your goods from others.
Advantages of FCL
1. You can track it directly from the shipping company. You can track the location,
estimated arrival date etc.
Advantage of LCL
1. You can ship goods with volume as low as 1 cubic meter by sea.
2. Cost is minimal. About 44 to 50k for clearing....so if you are buying in bulk I
recommend sea shipping
3. Hugo express
56
HOW SHIPPING IS CALCULATED
Shipping is calculated based on weight so the heavier your goods, the more expensive the
shipping fee. So it is advised that when you are buying goods especially if your capital is
not much, don't go for goods that have too much weight.
This means that 4.5$ is what you pay the shipping company for your goods while 400 naira
is what you pay to customs for clearance.
Different shipping companies have different prices, I just used the price above for
illustration.
57
HOW DO YOU PAY FOR SHIPPING AND HOW DO YOU
RECEIVE YOUR GOODS
You pay for shipping when your goods arrive Nigeria. The last stop is usually Lagos, some
shipping companies …
So, for those in North or close to Kano, you can go for this shipping company, they ship
directly to Kano
· Onitsha,
· Owerri,
· Abuja
And Lagos directly (LIBERTY shipping company) they also do Sea shipping
This is the Skycargo agent in China that is in charge of the normal shipping
If you are buying from Supplier, he/she will definitely ask you the address of the shipping
company you are using branch in China
58

Just use the Social media advert we will still be training on it before the end of
importation class, People that knows Turkey wears, that buy ,sell and wear it will order
from you they all know turkey wears are expensive
These are all Turkey agents. Please talk to them so you can start as they are always very
helpful.
Getittome has a WhatsApp group so chat them up and tell them to add you to the group.
Turkey items are not cheap at all but they have quality product, no fake at all, but those
who love quality goods and have the money will always patronize, so please if you're
finding cheap items then Turkey is may not be the place to go
I'll be sharing with you contacts of Top Sellers of Quality Wear from Turkey
I'll also be sharing with you contact of agents that can help you with the procurement of
those goods. Most especially when it comes to making payments to the manufacturers.
NOTE
You would need to INSTALL Google Translator on your phone so you can be able to
translate, some of Turkey manufacturers don't speak English. This is to ease the channel of
communication.
So if you meet the ones that doesn't understand English and you are interested in their
product, then google translator will be useful to you.
Unlike other countries that have website where you can go see what products they have,
Turkey is different. Most of the businesses don't have website.
Means of payment is through agents. You can pay them directly but it would be risky to do
that when you are just starting to avoid being scammed.
My mentor in the business first asked me to go to the popular Balogun Market in Lagos.
Ask for shops where they sell quality Turkey Clothes. After buying she said I should check
the label of the clothes to look for the name of the Turkish company that produced them.
You can Google their names and get their contact details.
63
You can also check some of your Turkey clothes at home to check for the seller.
Sourcing for pictures from Turkey might be one of the most difficult thing for you to
source as an intending turkey importer but with Get it to me, they make it easier.
They charge a $1 mark up price. Meaning that if a supplier charges $15 for a cloth, they
will quote it at $16.

ADVERTISMENT ONLINE
Now how to use social media (Facebook and IG) to advertise goods and meets many
audiences. Also, how to link your goods with E- Commerce (Jumia, Konga and Dealdey)
FACEBOOK ADVERT
For one to be able to run a Facebook ad, you will need to open a Facebook page.
When you click on boost post, it will bring out options like
Target audience
Age range
Location
Sex
Amount you wish to spend on the add. (Begin with a smaller amount say 500 naira to
ensure you got it right before you begin to add more.
So, when you choose create your own, you will be able to choose the audience, name,
location,
The reason why we are choosing create your own is because, if you choose Automatic
Facebook/Instagram might not target the audience you want best
You click on the target location: whether Lagos, Abuja, PH, Us, etc.
You can also choose age range for example 20-60 yrs.
67
Also, your target audience: choose people that are interested in your product. there's
provision for interest, so type the name of the product and the advert will target people that
have searched for your product or related item online, the ads will target people interested
in those things you typed as interest, including their location and interest, so there's no
way, your advert will target people interested in your product, that you won't sell.... it's not
possible
So, example, you are selling female fashion items, you can choose Business women, youth,
Student, fashion and shopping, ladies, etc....
You can also be promoting your page time to time, is not compulsory is every time you
want to sell/run ads that you will be visiting the page
Key in your Mastercard details and the amount you wish to credit to your Facebook page
account then submit. Your bank will debit such amount from your account after some time.
Then submit your ads. The Facebook team will take some time say say 30mins+- to review
the ad and either approve or reject it.
1. Using Facebook lite, or Facebook business, go to your wall and click on ads manager
4. click on create ad
4. click on edit it will take you to another page where you can upload your picture/video
and insert link (WhatsApp link which is called landing page)
6. heading should be the name of your advert this is the ads copy and if the ads copy isn't
right your advert may have issues
8. For location use Nigeria (depending on what you want to sell you may select major
states in Nigeria for this)
68
For interest, please click people that most likely may like what you are promoting online
If it talks more about you than the product you are promoting.
If the picture you uploaded has before and after result of the product attached to it
If your write up is discriminatory either in terms of sex, religion, tribe or what have you.
If the product you are promoting will be harmful in any way to the consumers

HOW TO AVOID GETTING BANNED
(1) If Facebook warn you that your ADVERT TEXT OR PICTURE IS NOT ACCEPTED
AND IT NEEDS EDITING
(2) Never add unethical ads account to your main advertising account
(3) Never use a nude picture or pictures that opens half part of the body in your ads (They
won’t accept it) and if you use it sometimes, they might show mercy and warn you and
most time they will not give you a warning before they judge you (those bots reviewing are
very crazy most time) so be wise
(4) Sanitize your Advert account by DELETING all unapproved Advert from your account
(5) If you are driving traffic (i.e., your prospective customers) to your website directly
from Facebook ads
Make sure you include the following pages on your landing page/website
(6) Make sure what is on your landing page (text, images, product etc.) correlate with your
ads copy (text and image) (don’t be too sneaky, Facebook don’t like it) their hammer is
right on your head if they catch you
Then wait for IG to approve your ads. (The best time the approve fast is at midnight, so
you can run the ads before you sleep at night and before you wake up, it would have been
approved and be expecting messages in your inbox.

HAIR IMPORTATION EXPLAINED
HAIR IMPORTATION
Hair business is a very lucrative business and its a business that you can start at the comfort
of your room. With a good phone camera, a good background you are good to start your
hair business.
Usually, the main issue in hair business is knowing the difference between high grade and
low-grade hair. Usually, I advise human hair vendors to buy hairs directly from the
manufacturers and specify the grade they want.
73
HAIR GRADES
GRADE 3A
This is low quality hair that was not properly maintained by the donor and is very thin. Its
low-quality hair that was not properly maintained by the donor. This hair will shed, tangle,
and mat and won’t last you for a long time.
GRADE 4A AND 5A
This is lower/medium hair grade. This hair is 100% human hair but it’s not Remy hair and
the cuticles will be stripped or won’t go in the same direction. It is also going to be pretty
thin and it’s highly likely that it will tangle and mat. For that reason, it won’t last for a long
time, probably a couple of months. If you choose to buy this type of hair, make sure you
purchase shorter lengths, not longer than 12 inches to avoid as much tangling as you can.
This hair needs high maintenance since you will have to spend a lot of time using different
methods to detangle it.
74
GRADE 6A
Grade 6A hair should be Remy hair which means all the cuticles go in the same direction.
It will have medium thickness and you’ll be able to dye it to a medium blonde color. This
type of hair could work on straight hair up to 18 inches and could last you for up to 10
months. If you take proper care of it, it could work just fine as a high-quality budget hair,
but if you want curly hair or hair that’s longer than 18 inches, a higher-grade hair is
necessary.
GRADE 7A
Grade 7A is high quality Remy hair that has all the cuticles intact. It is pretty thick and
strong and it will last for up to 18 months. This hair will shed and tangle much less than the
other types.
Grade 7A can be dyed up to a platinum blonde color and stay healthy and strong. This a
good option when buying hair extension.
GRADE 8A AND 9A
Grade 8A and 9A is 100% virgin hair which means it is pure human hair from one donor
that has not been processed in any way and all the cuticles are intact. The price of this hair
75
is higher, but it’s very high quality and it can last you up to 2 years. It is much thicker than
lower grade hair and it has much fewer short hairs mixed in the hair bundles. You can dye
this hair to a completely white color. This type of hair will not tangle as much and is much
easier to maintain.
Grade 10A
This is the highest quality hair that you can buy and it’s also the most expensive. It’s 100%
unprocessed virgin hair from one donor and it’s very thick and strong. It can be dyed up to
a white color and still remain healthy. If you want really long hair, or curly hair, this is a
great choice. This hair won’t tangle or mat as much and it doesn’t require much
maintenance. It will last you for a very long time. Grade 10A is very thick and strong and
it’s definitely the best hair you can buy at the moment.
Most times we pay for a 7a grade hair and expect it to have a 10a grade hair which is not
possible. There is a reason there are grades for the hairs and this reason is what
differentiate one hair from another.
For the human hair blend, it’s a combination of human hair and fiber. There are several
ratios for the human hair blend. Ranging from 50:50 ratio that is 50% human hair 50%
fiber, 10:90 ratio, 25:75 ratio etc.
Usually the 50:50 ratio is usually closer a little to human hair as it can withstand heat up to
a degree and it select the degree to which it can be colored. It can only withstand lightly
colored not too deep colored.
76
In terms of price, the 50:50 ratio is usually higher compared to lesser ratios.
100% human hair have a high flexibility and versatility when you style them. You can curl
them or dye them and they withstand heat without burning. They withstand color so you
can change their color and they will still be good. They last long usually. They last years.
The lower grade human hair when properly maintained can last 1-2years while the high
grade 100% human hair can last 3 years and more when properly maintained.
Human hair is simply like our hair and should be properly maintained to ensure longevity
Asides the difference in the grades of the hairs, there are also different hairs. We have the
synthetic hair, the fiber hair, the human hair blend and the 100% human hair
1. Small scale group: this group is targeted on students and average income earners.
If you are planning to go into hair business as a small scale based on targeting students and
average income earners, then you can't sell expensive hairs to these set of people.
Then, if you are based on this, you have to go into dealing with 7a grade human hair,
human hair in packs, human hair blend or high resistant fiber hair.
Synthetic hair is usually interchanged with fiber but synthetic hair is a lower grade to the
heat resistant fiber. Most times you can only use a synthetic hair once or twice before it
tangles completely and it is not heat resistant and cannot be dyed, curled or restyled. It’s
the cheapest in the categories
2. The second group are the medium/large scale group
If you are targeting this set, you have to deliver top grade human hair, virgin donor hairs.
These are usually expensive so your prices will be at a high level. Based on what you
deliver, you won't be able to sell it cheap at all. So, for this reason, you must be able to
deliver top notch since the customers are ready to pay any amount to get top notch hairs in
terms of price, Indian and Cambodian hairs are on the high side compared to Vietnam and
China based on the type of hair available in each country
If you are targeting this set, you have to deliver top grade human hair, virgin donor hairs.
These are usually expensive so your prices will be at a high level. Based on what you
deliver, you won't be able to sell it cheap at all. So, for this reason, you must be able to
deliver top notch since the customers are ready to pay any amount to get top notch hairs
One of the many reasons why we love Vietnamese hair is because of the high quality. In
Vietnam, the women rarely process their hair or straighten it. How they take care of their
hair has a lot to do with why Vietnamese hair is top, not raw hair quality. Many of the
77
women in the country grow their hair incredibly long because of this the hair can be
purchased in long lengths from 30 inches and above.
This hair is exceptionally pure. Vietnamese hair is soft and silky. It comes in body wave
and straight.
The natural texture of Cambodian hair is usually smooth, strong and thick
Cambodia hair is unprocessed, so you can style or color for the weave if you want. This
type of hair extension is also well-known for its strength and long durability. If you have a
good treatment, it will keep your hair in beauty longer.
Indian hairs are usually temple hairs and are also from donors like Cambodia and Vietnam
so they have much similarities
You can get different kinds of hair texture from China different types of curls, Italian curls,
French curls, water curls etc. different types of straight bone straight, silky straight etc.
But for other countries they don't have varieties like China since the hairs are not processed
or influenced with machines
Cambodian hair is virgin, unprocessed, it can be easy to style. Women in Cambodia have
their own treatments that can keep hair strongly. They say no to chemical products, have a
good habit and diet. Natural shampoos and conditioners such as coconut, palm oil are
prioritized.
Those who choose raw hair don’t worry about its quality. Cambodian hairs can hold a curl
well and dye or color without much damage to the quality of the hair.

the most expensive is the super double drawn hair
Most donors are from India, Cambodia, Vietnam. Hair patterns from these donors don’t
vary all that much so you won’t get those hot trendy styles like tight curly or body wave
easily, if at all.
Raw hair is usually available in 2 styles – Straight and natural wave or wavy. Raw hair is
usually less silky and very slightly closer to coarser textures when compared to virgin hair.
Raw hair can also be available in curly hair patterns also.
The beauty and the beast of Raw hair is that no two bundles are the same. They won’t be
very different form each other but never identical and that because the hair is not steamed
to form uniformed patterns.

Cambodian and Indian hair, as suggested in the names, refer to their origins, where the hair
is harvested from donors. Typically, when it comes to hair, we only see it classified by
texture (strong, shiny, frizzy, weak), styles (straight, braided, wavy, curly) or color
(brunette, blonde, redhead) but never by origins.
INDIA HAIR
Versatility
This is perhaps the unique feature when we talk about Indian hair. Because Indian people
are multiracial, their hair types vary from individual to individual. Whether you have thick,
coarse hair or thin, fine one, you can always find something that blends out with your
natural hair here.
However, even with the variation in texture and styles, Indian hair does share some same
features. It is very soft with high luster, which instantly makes the wearer look healthy and
lively when they put that on.
Light texture
Another reason for Indian hair winning the market demand for so long is because of its
light, airy, and bouncy texture. Whether you buy Indian hair with straight or wavy style, it
all looks very natural.

Consider shampoos with a natural formula. Since hair cut off from, the human scalp
receives no sebum, you need to give your hair bundles some oil. That’s why; the oil-based
formula is a must when it comes to proper hair care products.
Wash your hair right! Vietnamese hair needs your gentleness. You should neither pull or
wash your hair too harsh. This will eventually lead to hair tangling and shedding.
Towel dry and air dry your hair. Don’t blow dry it too often if you don’t want to say
goodbye to your expensive hairpieces too soon.
Use hair serum from time to time. We would suggest you use hair serum after your hair
bundles are 80% dry. This is the best time to apply serum because the hair can absorb
nutrients and oil.

when imported into Africa are usually two levels above.

through any chemical or mechanical processing.
Remy hair is also 100% human hair with all the cuticles going in the same direction, but it
has been chemically or mechanically processed. It is also high-quality hair that will last
you for a long time.

100% human hair has not been mixed with synthetic hair, but it has been stripped of its
cuticles and might be chemically processed. It will not last as long as 100% virgin or Remy
hair.
Human blend is human hair mixed with synthetic usually in different percentage ratio
Synthetic hair has no human hair whatsoever and it’s completely synthetic and this would
be considered low quality hair that won’t last for a long time.
