Nairobi is the gateway to the East African hair market. Learn how to source and import premium Indian hair for the Kenyan market.
Nairobi: East Africa's Hair Hub
Nairobi is a major centre of the hair trade in East Africa, with strong demand for wavy and curly Indian hair. Boutiques focus on single drawn hair for volume, while salons in Westlands and Karen ask for double drawn hair; letter grades such as 10A–14A are vendor labels, not a standard.
Shipping and Standards
Kenya applies pre-export verification of conformity (PVOC) to many regulated imports; ask your broker whether your shipment needs a certificate. DHL Express and FedEx deliver to Nairobi in 7–10 business days, and we also ship direct from Delhi to Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda. Payment is 100% in advance by international bank transfer, card (Razorpay link), PayPal or Western Union / MoneyGram.
Direct From India Office
As a direct manufacturer and exporter, Suvita Hair Global supplies raw, virgin and Remy temple-sourced human hair to salons, wholesalers, and private labels worldwide.

Can I buy hair extensions, wigs and bundles for personal use, not wholesale?
Yes. Suvita Hair is a manufacturer and exporter based in India and we accept personal-use orders from 1 piece. Personal-use buyers are quoted retail-use pricing with colour matching support and door-to-door express delivery worldwide. Select "Personal Use" when you enquire so we send the correct price list.
What is the minimum order quantity for wholesale hair extensions, wigs and bundles?
Wholesale pricing starts from 20 pieces, with deeper volume slabs at 50 and 100+ pieces. Distributors ordering 100+ pieces or committing to monthly shipments receive our best per-piece manufacturer rate. Order a sample first to verify quality before confirming a bulk order.
Do you offer salon pricing for stylists?
Yes. Salons, extension studios and freelance stylists buying roughly 5–20 pieces per order receive a dedicated salon slab with mixed length and texture packs, batch-to-batch colour consistency and priority reorders.
Do you supply distributors and private-label brands?
We supply importers and distributors with territory pricing, reserved monthly production slots and complete export documentation (invoice, packing list, HS code, certificate of origin). For private-label brands we manufacture under your label with custom packaging, branded tags and hang cards from 50 pieces per SKU.
Are you a manufacturer or a reseller?
Suvita Hair is a direct manufacturer and exporter of 100% Remy human hair, producing raw, virgin and Remy hair at our facility in Delhi, India, with active buyers in 23 countries.
