Dropship Wigs, False Hair, or Toupets in 2020

With so many dropshipping tools and platforms available in 2020, dropshipping hair care products or particularly wigs have become much easier. If you already have an online store, you can directly start by finding the main distributors and manufacturers of wigs. 

If you own a Shopify store, the best resolution is to install Oberlo, a dropshipping assistant, and you might be able to find some good wigs distributors. Most of the time, distributors listed on Oberlo work for all occasions and audiences. Make sure to cover a wide range of audiences with your wig products i.e. hair extensions, synthetic wigs, human hair toupet, wig caps, and more. 

When it comes to wig manufacturers, note that China, the Philippines, and Indonesia are the main wig manufacturers. The main buyers of hair-care products are from Europe, the US, North America, and its surrounding countries. It might be a little hard to find the right manufacturers for your Shopify store. 

If you have a niche store, be thorough with your research. Here is a brief checklist to select the right dropshipping supplier:

• Research and talk to various suppliers.
• Order samples and check quality, delivery time, and packaging of the products.
• Order from your competitors to determine how they differ.
• Select the right supplier for your store.
