What'S up cousins? Welcome back to my channel! It'S your girl, devonna um! If you're new here welcome to my channel, my name is devonna nice to meet. You welcome to the cousin family, um y'all, getting right into this video, because i'm telling you it's long overdue. This is oh, my god and chrome running diamonds. This is all i get asked about if i'm gon na do a video on wigs - and you know things like that so here i am: let's get straight into the video first, i'm gon na drink. Some of my my child, this is my favorite y'all. I get this um matcha latte from dunkin donuts. It'S so good! If i get it with almond milk. It'S maggot like od, is my favorite, so anyway y'all so starting off. First of all, the number one question that i get asked all the time: y'all is how to find a wig vendor. Okay, the same rules, i'm going to apply to this video, which i'm gon na put in here about how to find a hair vendor on alibaba. You can go on alibaba and also y'all, there's also numerous of ways to find your hair vendor. If you are on instagram, if you are on facebook, mostly instagram, because a lot of the vendors are like now, you know open it up to our world and like on social media and actually reaching out to people like i get them in my dm's. All the time like trying to get me to become a customer of theirs, so it's so freaking easy. You just have to pay attention and you have to sample okay, i'm not going to stress this enough simple. The way you will find them first is: you will basically go in the hashtag section of um instagram right go into hashtags and like search like four hair vendors, full lace, wig vendor so virgin, hair vendors search, all those tags or whatever and see what comes up Right and then you just choose it's just like when you're on alibaba and you put in that search engine, you know um cuticle aligned raw hair. I just want to sell indian here. You would put that in okay. So when it comes up you just look at the pictures and stuff and you figure out if you want to shop with that vendor or if you don't, because if you don't want to shop with them, then you just move on to the next now. As far as reaching out to them, you're still going gon na need to download whatsapp, okay, you're, still gon na have to download that app after you download whatsapp you get their numbers or whatever y'all exchange words through there or i know. Sometimes you start off in the dm part and um, either they're reaching out to you or you're reaching out to them in this case, you'll be reaching out to them. Okay, because you're searching for the wig vendor. Just let them know that you, you know you're interested in their product and also you would like to sample it. A lot of people get confused about samples, and especially with pricing. So i know like it varies: okay, because every vendor is different. So a few lenses that i bumped into you will be able to sample like first of all, they will start you off with a shorter length. You wouldn't even get a longer lift like this. This is a 18 length right, that's 18 months. Okay, so it probably starts you off with like a shorter length, because you're sampling, all right, so you'll probably get like a 10 or 12 inch. You know full lace, wig or a closure wig, whichever one so the full lace. Wigs. It'S probably let me see. I wrote it down: it's probably going to run you like 135 dollars for a 12 inch and then the lace closures is like 120 119 around there or whatever and that's not including their shipping price. So i do the same thing with the wigs and i would take a piece of hair and actually burn it. You know to make sure it turns to ash, because you know if y'all haven't watched any of my old videos, which i encourage y'all to go. Watch and go see how i actually test my hair and stuff to make sure that the hair's legit and there's no um, you know synthetic fibers in it, there's no mixed hair. This is cuticle aligned from one donor and the wig is made. So when you have it on you'll, be able to like you, know, wear it and experience it and see how the hair does and how it flows and if it gets. You know like tangled and stuff like that, because those are the stuff that you want to stay away from absolutely stay away from that. Okay, you would reach out to them, get their information because sometimes they'll ask you right away. Can you chat with them on whatsapp, because it's just better for them or whatever, so you will download the whatsapp communicate with them through there and um ask them their prices once you get your product, you use it wear it for at least like a month or Two y'all like for real with wigs, it's probably much easier um, i would still say like wear for a month into i don't care like. I want to see the wear and tear like you know. I want to see how long it's going to last me. So when a customer come and they're like hey this lacing zubal or hey um, you know the lace broke really easy. I want to be able to know these things, so try your stuff on and make sure you wear it for a good amount of time, because you want to be prepared for that. A lot of y'all wanted to know also how many vendors should you be purchasing from right. So this is what i say when you get established and you find out like you test it as long as you, sampled, everybody like say, for instance, you sampled up to three vendors right, which i encourage you do. I encourage you to have like at least three or four vendors. Just in case you know something happens. You'Ll have something to fall back on okay, so i have um three different vendors and it's because i don't want no mistakes. Okay, like if my wavy hair vendor can't like you know, supply something or if they run out of certain things, you want to be able to fall back on another vendor, so you use the same same rules apply okay, just like in my other videos, like i Said i have you three at least three vendors have at least three vendors, and i want you to sample all of them. So you know that you're safe, you know what i'm saying like you don't want to just be stuck to one one vendor and then something happens or you know maybe that person that you're chatting with don't even work with that um factory anymore, so have more than One vendor and make sure you sample each vendor, so you know exactly how their hair is and your game plan will fall into place. The next question is like i was saying about the textures of how many textures should you be purchasing when you're, just starting okay? So my advice would be to just purchase after you've done your sampling right. I would literally start off with the basic ones like um straight body wave and probably a curly, or i would probably do straight body waves and like a deep wave or something like that. But you get so much out of just this one wig this one texture right here. You will be amazed. Okay, so think about that. So i would start off honestly with just straight and body wave and see how that move in your company, and you know if your customers start asking for more stuff, then you would start adding on different textures, like the kinky curlys and the um, the curly hair And just make sure you're sampling, stuff y'all, because i've seen some you know bad kinky, curly, hair and i've seen some bad curly hair too so yeah, i know curly hair is very tricky. You have to be on your game when it comes to curly hair. So if you decide to move towards that, you know texture make sure you're stamping and you are getting to know that hair like crazy, because you want to be able to tell your customers how to treat it. You want to be able to tell your customers what products you use on it. What products works best, um, how we're asking the you know the heat, the humidity like every all that stuff or whatever, but starting off. I would definitely encourage you to start off with a body wave and or a straight okay and see how it does see how your cells go with that and then, if it go through the roof, when they start asking for more, then you move on to the Next section: that's what i would do now payment believe it or not. People are still confused on as far as payment when it comes to whatsapp and communicating with vendors, so some they don't accept paypal which i'll in this case, i would have to tell you to really shop at your own risk. You know because there are some good vendors out there, honestly, especially in india, because some indian vendors don't accept paypal, but i've already built a you know like a um relationship with them. So it's okay to me and i would like western union or something like that. You know, but if you don't absolutely know it you can afford to like, like i said what the wig start at like, if you sample in something they start at 120, something so if you can afford to lose like you know, chance 120 something dollars. You know and putting it at risk, then that's on you, that's fine, but i would if you're starting off, try to stick to paypal vendors for now. Okay, until you get in the flow of understanding the business and how to how to communicate, and when you you feel that bobby it's not right - and you know your gut is telling you something - then don't go with it. But i would encourage you to like stick to paypal vendors, just because if something don't turn out too well or you don't get your product or whatever the case is, then you could go ahead and put in the claim and all that good stuff. Okay. But until then, like you know, paypal was the way to go still haven't, had an issue with any of my vendors or nothing like that. So i wouldn't really sit here and say like oh, you know, beware and stuff like that shop at your own risk. Okay, so you already know like the hair business is definitely like something that you have to take your time. You have to learn. You have to educate yourself a lot. Okay, educate yourself a lot until you can't know more, like you know what i'm saying until at least until you're comfortable and stop always going to people and asking them like hey. You know where did you get this from or where did that go and do your homework do your homework. So that way, you can have your own story about your company. Like hey, i sample these personally, like all crown van and stuff, like i literally sampled, okay, i was not launching when i first first launched y'all, i was not launching if y'all watch my old videos, i will tell you all this over and over i sampled. So i couldn't simple no more. I was like you know what let me just stick to these three textures and then i'm good. You know, but i sampled until i couldn't sample no more and until i felt comfortable so that way i'll be able to know like how to approach my customers when they ask me stuff, you have to be prepared for all that stuff. You don't want to just go and purchase a vendor list and for one you don't even know. If that person tried out any of those vendors, they can say they did, but you don't even know if they tried on any of those vendors. You don't even know those vendors are still in business or not, so you just want to really be careful, so go. Do your homework, get your own list established, get your own samples going. So that way you can have a story to go off of and build. Your business, that way, so that's really it try. That'S really all i had to um come and you know give y'all um. I really hope that the video helped y'all, because i was really getting asked about these big um wig vendors and how to find one and stuff and it's basically the same rules apply. Okay, the same rules apply and sample sample sample. That'S all i'm going to tell you is sample, wear your wigs and stuff um. I actually just started getting into wigs. I wasn't even wearing with like that y'all see in my videos i made my first wig. I have um even customized, my first wig and stuff like that on my own, so this go around. I'M actually gon na go to a professional and have them install it for me and have them customize it. For me, of course, i'm going to use crown varnish here, y'all, i'm so excited about crown. Vana like the re-launch is i don't want to talk about it? No more. I just want to show y'all but um yeah, so this next go around. I'M gon na have a professional, you know and store the wig for me, actually customize it and you know, get it all glammed up for me, so i can wear it for a photo shoot and stuff and i'll probably be vlogging at y'all. I will take y'all along with me. I told you, i'm gon na be, like you know, sharing a lot which are okay, like i'm gon na, be sharing a lot with y'all seriously, so stay tuned for that.

I don't have no problem with sharing my information or um. You know just trying to help you out.
