“5 Reasons Why Ethiopian Women Shouldn’t Wear Weave” was the title of a blogpost that draw my attention last night. There is a growing number of women buying hair extensions in Ethiopia. It seems a many buy the hair extensions on Alibaba. If you love hair and want to make money, time for you to start selling hair extensions in Ethiopia.

First analyze the market needs and opportunities in Ethiopia

You can start selling synthetic hair or try to aim at the high-end market and offer high grade human hair extensions. It is important to define your clients and their spending power. Do not buy expensive human hair in an area with clients who are only able to buy lower priced hair.

A lot of hair brought into Ethiopia comes with people from traveling abroad. This is not a stable source if you have a growing hair business. If you want to start a successful hair business in Ethiopia, you need to set up a reliable supply chain. Find reliable hair suppliers abroad to ensure a constant flow of hair. If your hair business is growing, you can not afford to wait for your uncle to arrive back from the Middle East to bring some hair with him.

  • Do ask for the struggle they face when buying hair extensions,
  • where do they search for the hair and
  • what is their opinion about the hair extensions other hair stores offer.

Make sure you have the contact details, phonenumber, email or social media, of everybody you spoke to about the hair extensions. They can become your first clients when you are ready to sell extensions.

Find Reliable Hair Suppliers Negotiate a discount for your next order

When you negotiate with the hair extensions suppliers about your trial order, try to get a discount for your first wholesale order. Show them you are serious about selling hair extensions and will only get back if the hair and the conditions are good.

Check if you will have to pay custom duties if you import hair extensions into Ethiopia. This avoids unpleasant surprises if you agreed a price with your clients for the extensions and you must pay a 20 or 30 percent to the government. Especially if you did not include this charge in your selling price.

The Kickoff of your Hair Extensions Business

I recommend organizing a hair extensions party as a kick off. If you are one of the first to organize a hair extensions party in your area, you will get a lot of attention.

You do not need much money to organize the party and people will buy your hair at the party and you can see what they like and what not.

Grow your hair business

If you managed to sell your first wholesale order you can invest in a next but bigger order. If you go step by step you will not risk anything and only benefit from a growing number of people buying and talking about your hair extensions.

Good luck selling hair extensions in Ethiopia.
