Check for quality & payment policy
Unfortunately, you can’t determine the true quality of the weave before purchasing online except you opt for payment on delivery. Be clear on the refund policies of the online store so you’ll know what to do if the weave isn’t what you wanted. Some of these sites mix the human hair weaves with synthetic and unprocessed hair. Make sure they are the real texture of human hair weaves, have a bounce to them and definitely make sure they are not coated or too silky. When you get the hair, run your fingers through it or brush it to see if it sheds.

Good Reviews
Look out for the feedback and reviews for an online hair human store before purchasing. Check for the product evaluation statistics: how many people have ‘liked’ the purchase, how many gave reviews and ratings, how many of those reviews were detailed? Keep your ears to the ground; ask questions about the product colour and texture. Request for a video of the product if possible as videos show more details than pictures. If you think the seller is reliable, go ahead with your purchase.
Online giveaways and outrageous price slash or discounts most times mean the quality of the human hair weave is questionable. Good things don’t always come cheap. Before you fall for this online scam, ask yourself if the price is worth the quality advertised.
It is advisable to totally avoid buying human hair online but if you absolutely have to, be sure to take the tips above into consideration before making a purchase.
