Hair Manufacturer Guide
Manufacturers help you own a private-label brand — from custom base designs to your own retail SKU.
OEM vs ODM
OEM = you supply the design, they manufacture. ODM = they design and manufacture to your brand. ODM is faster to market.
Private label
Add your logo, packaging and pricing to a proven product. MOQ typically 25–500 units depending on category.
Quality control
Insist on pre-shipment QC — hair grade, base construction, ventilation, colour accuracy and durability tests.
Lead times
Domestic ODM 3–6 weeks. International OEM 8–14 weeks including shipping. Plan inventory accordingly.
