Raw Hair Vendors โ€” How to Choose a Raw Indian Hair Vendor

Raw hair vendors sell hair that has not been chemically processed, but the word "raw" means different things from one vendor to the next, so the first job when choosing a raw Indian hair vendor is to get their definition in writing. Ours is short: raw hair is from a single donor and unprocessed โ€” no acid bath, no steam pattern, no colour. Suvita Hair buys it as temple hair donated in South India, sorts, draws and wefts it in Delhi, and exports it under its own company.

Single-donor hair has tells a buyer can check. It comes only in the texture it grew in โ€” natural straight, wavy or curly โ€” and only in natural shades. Bundles in one order vary a little, as one person's hair differs from the next person's. A bundle of "raw" hair in a deep wave pattern or a blonde shade has been processed, whatever the label says.

This page is for resellers, salons and brands picking a raw vendor. The product itself, with its specifications, is on our raw Indian hair page. Below: what to ask, what a vendor should put on paper, and the raw styles we sell.

The raw hair styles we sell

Every row is single-donor Indian temple hair. The style names are the textures buyers ask for, not countries of origin. Burmese-style straight and Peruvian-style raw hair are also listed on their own pages.

How it is made

  1. 1Raw hair is temple hair donated in South India and bought at auction as raw, unprocessed ponytails. For Israel and Muslim-majority markets we use hair from private donors instead.
  2. 2Each ponytail is kept as one donor's hair and sorted in Delhi by length and cuticle direction, root to tip.
  3. 3The hair is washed and conditioned only. Nothing is done to change its texture or colour, which is why raw hair comes only in the patterns and shades it grew in.
  4. 4It is drawn single or double, then machine-wefted in-house as bundles or tied as loose bulk.
  5. 5Each bundle is weighed against the packing list, washed and blow-dried on sample, and checked for shedding and tangling.
  6. 6Consignments ship under HS 6703 with a commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, issued by Suvita Hair Global Private Limited.

The six steps from temple to export are on our About page.

Care and lifespan

  • Treat raw hair like the client's own: a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner every wash.
  • Use a heat protectant before flat irons and curling tools.
  • Colour professionally, and strand-test first; raw hair lifts from its natural shade.
  • Expect small differences between bundles from different donors, and blend them when installing.
  • With proper care raw hair lasts 3โ€“5 years, the same as our virgin and Remy hair.

Questions buyers ask

Are you a raw hair vendor or a factory?
A manufacturer and exporter. We buy temple hair at source, sort, draw and weft it at our own facility in Delhi, and invoice under our own company, Suvita Hair Global Private Limited. The CIN and GSTIN on our About page can be checked on India's public portals.
Is Vietnamese-style or Cambodian-style raw hair from Vietnam or Cambodia?
Not ours. Those names describe the strand and texture buyers ask for. Every Suvita product is Indian hair processed in Delhi. A raw vendor who sells a style name should tell you where the hair actually grew; ask the question in writing.
How can I tell whether hair is really raw?
Look for the signs of one donor: natural texture only, natural shades only, and slight differences between bundles. Patterned waves, lifted colours and identical bundles across a large lot point to processing. Order a sample, wash it and check how it behaves before you buy in volume.
What should a raw hair vendor put in writing?
Donors per bundle, processing (none), where the hair grew, texture as donated, length, weight per bundle, single or double drawn, weft type, shade, the HS code and the legal name on the bank account. If a vendor will not write those on the proforma invoice, treat the word raw with caution.
Can raw hair be coloured?
Yes. It has never been chemically processed, so a professional colourist starts from the shade it grew in. Strand-test first. Pre-coloured raw hair is not raw: lifted shades are made from virgin or Remy hair.
How do I pay a raw hair vendor safely?
We take payment in full in advance against a proforma invoice, by bank transfer to an account in the company's own name, card through a payment link, PayPal, Western Union or MoneyGram, or Wise. Our bank details are never changed by email, so call or WhatsApp us if a message says otherwise.
