Probably lol would think you would need some money in place. Just wanted more info lol
 
Yeah deff, I think u would need to go abroad to source it, I heard of an extensionist who got fed up of suppliers and went to India or somewhere and sourced herself

I think everyone misunderstands the word "source" we all "source" our own hair every time we find a supplier of hair we would like to order. "Sourcing" is researching and finding that's all. I've noticed a lot of extensionists state they "source" their own hair on their website, which is true no doubt as I "source" mine daily, it just seems to be some kind of marketing ploy to fool potential customers into believing you've gone direct to a manufacturer abroad and therefore your hair is of a higher quality at cheaper prices because you've supposedly cut out the middleman. Personally unless your Tatiana or someone if similar standing I'd be surprised if it's true

But back to the point, I've sourced my own hair from abroad, but to get any form of decent pricing you have to buy in bulk in every colour, every weight of strand etc, it's very rare you can mix up your order into different colours and types etc.So in order to buy direct from a manufacturer you're looking at around 20 to 30 grand I reckon.

Perhaps we should all get together and buy one big bulk shipment lol

Yes I do! I have a direct link to an Indian temple where people offer their hair to their god - at least that's what I've heard. I buy the ponytails & I'm just tipping it myself. X

You either buy direct from the temple or through a third party like a supplier? If your buying direct it can't be hearsay i.e " that's what iv heard" ? x

I also got him to send me a colour ring and samples of tape ins and copper tubes as I hate micro rings perfect service it's all there if you look try Ali baba there's a lot if choice .. As for huge quantities I can order exactly amounts I want you will pay higher postage though if you only want a small amount but Dahl had it here in 4 days door to door !! All in all a good experience 😄
