When it comes to human hair extensions, wigs, and weaves, the origin of the hair plays a crucial role in its quality, durability, and natural appearance. Among the most sought-after are Indian, Vietnamese, and Chinese hair.
But how exactly do they differ — and why is Indian hair often considered the gold standard?
Let’s dive deep!
Indian Hair:
Indian hair is naturally soft, light, and slightly wavy. It has a fine to medium density, making it incredibly versatile for different hairstyles. Whether you want sleek straight looks, loose waves, or bouncy curls, Indian hair adapts easily and blends beautifully with various ethnic hair types.
Vietnamese Hair:
Vietnamese hair is known for being thicker, coarser, and very straight. It is strong and has a silky feel but often lacks the natural wave or flexibility that Indian hair offers. Styling Vietnamese hair into curls or waves often requires more effort or heat.
Chinese Hair:
Chinese hair is the thickest and coarsest among the three. It’s naturally very straight and heavy. To create waves or curls, it usually undergoes chemical processing, which can affect its longevity and make it feel stiffer over time.
Indian Hair:
Most Indian hair, especially temple hair, is collected in a remy state — meaning the cuticles are aligned. It is often used raw or minimally processed, keeping its natural quality intact. That’s why Indian hair lasts longer, tangles less, and maintains a healthy shine without heavy chemical coatings.
Vietnamese Hair:
Vietnamese hair tends to be less processed compared to Chinese hair but still undergoes some treatment to soften its naturally coarse texture. It is usually strong but not as naturally flexible as Indian hair.
Chinese Hair:
Due to its coarse and heavy texture, Chinese hair often undergoes acid treatments, heavy chemical softening, and silicone coating to make it look softer and shinier. Initially, it may appear very polished, but after a few washes, the hair can become dry and brittle.
Indian Hair:
Because of its natural softness and wave, Indian hair is perfect for styling — you can straighten it, curl it, or dye it with minimal risk. It holds styles well without losing its natural bounce or texture.
Vietnamese Hair:
It holds straight styles exceptionally well but requires more effort to maintain curls or wavy styles. Coloring Vietnamese hair is possible but needs careful handling due to its density.
Chinese Hair:
Chinese hair is ideal if you want permanently straight hair, but it’s not as easy to restyle or recolor because of the heavy treatments it usually undergoes.
Indian Hair:
At SAS Indian Hair, we source hair ethically from temple donations in India. Donors offer their hair willingly as part of spiritual traditions, making the process transparent, respectful, and sustainable.
Vietnamese and Chinese Hair:
While there are ethical suppliers in Vietnam and China, sourcing practices can vary widely, and often, hair from different donors is mixed together. In some cases, synthetic fibers are also added to lower costs.
Indian Hair: Lasts 12–24 months or even longer with proper care.
Vietnamese Hair: Lasts 8–18 months depending on styling habits.
Chinese Hair: Typically lasts 6–12 months due to heavier processing.
