Alibaba/Aliexpress Hair Reviews

Alibaba/ Aliexpress is a GREAT place to get your virgin hair at. There are SO MANY different vendors on their for various things, that you don't know where to start. And for a new comer, that can be pretty over whelming I might think. I know for me, choosing the right vendor for me to spend my hard working money on( because I don't have much to begin with) was really time consuming. The things I looked for in a vendor, which I think all people should consider in their search consisted of a few qualities.

1. The vendor had to actually WANT your business. If they were taking to long to answer, then there is a problem. However, everyone should consider that most vendors are not in America, so there is a time difference.

2.The vendor shouldn't rush you. If the vendor is trying to rush you and say "BUY NOW" there's a automatic red flag. Obviously they are trying to take your money and run, or business isn't doing so good=/

3. The vendor should accept paypal. Now, this is my personal rule on my vendors. Especially if it was my first time with the vendor, or I have not heard of them. I am only paying through paypal. That way  I won't get scammed. 

4. The wording of the products and the company name. Now some people may not think this is a big deal, but if a company didn't even word the product right, that can be misleading. Or if the name is a little weird( I heard some real weird names ie. BiPolar International...wtf.lol) I'm not doing business. Also, if they can't even do there english correctly, we still have a problem. They need to take the time and go to google translate.lol

5. And lastly, you should really pay attention to the pictures. Now, I bought some "Brazilian hair" from a vendor on Alibaba. But when I started looking around the site. They had multiple pictures that just repeated itself. I also told the girl who was sending my hair that I wanted a picture of it in the package. She sent me one, but it was a fake, and not the picture of my hair. She was lucky my hair was still nice or I would have been pissed. These little changes and things they do may seem subtle, but they are factors in telling you what kind of company you are dealing with.

You should ALWAYS pay close attention to the vendors site. Never give them the benefit of doubt. They don't call it Alibaba for nothing.( Look up Alibaba and the 40 thieves.lol) However, not all the vendors are horrible. You just have to do your research. Most of the people who do order from Alibaba, order from CVs(Chinese Vendors) because they accept Paypal and are more honest. However, you can always take a plunge and order from the IVs(Indian Vendors). But if you are on your first purchase ever from Alibaba, I don't suggest this because more than likely, you will get burnt.

There are many helpful sources out there that help with the "Alibaba process". But I just want this blog to be one of them. Almost daily, I will try to get different reviews about the companies that you might encounter on that vast site. Hope it will help, I know if I had it when I started, I would have loved it!

Peace, love, and blessings from above,
