Unethical Hair Extensions

We here at Pelo Hair Los Angeles only sell ethically sourced hair extensions. We are constantly qualifying and checking our resources to ensure all the hair we receive, and sell, is from women who are fairly paid and the money is going back into the community or benefiting the host.

There is a lot of scary information on the Internet about hair extensions. With our company you don't have to worry about supporting illegal activity overseas.

So, how do you know when you are truly buying ethically sourced hair? Well, first- buy with a company (like ours) that proudly boasts that we know where our hair is derived from and have no problem making this information as transparent as possible. Secondly,don't buy hair out of a van or someone's else. You truly don't know where it is coming from or how it was sourced. There is no way of telling if the hair's host was fairly paid, treated properly, and so on. If the hair isn't purchased where a tax can be applied to it- there is no regulation.

Buying and wearing hair extensions doesn't have to be scary or make you feel like something unethical occurred. Like any retail purchase, you need to ask questions and use your judgement. If the person selling the hair seems shady- they probably are! Buy regulated hair from retailers who know where the hair came from and proudly can share the source of the hair.
