Empowering You To Embrace Ethically Sourced Hair Extensions

Why We’re Sourcing 100% Cuticle Remy Chinese Hair: A Commitment to Quality, Ethics, and Sustainability

At Showpony, we believe in constantly evolving to provide our customers with the highest-quality hair extensions. Recently, we made a significant change in the origin story of the hair used in our extensions, transitioning from a blend of 80% Indian and 20% European hair to 100% cuticle Remy A+ Chinese hair. We’d like to take this opportunity to explain why we made this decision and how it benefits both stylists and consumers.

Our Research: Finding the Best Hair for Extensions

The hair extensions industry lacks formal regulations, which means there is a lot of inconsistency in hair quality. To ensure that we continue to deliver the best, we’ve spent the past year conducting rigorous scientific testing, comparing hair from different origins, including Indian, European, Russian, Burmese, and Chinese hair.

Our testing focused on key factors like strength, quality, and how well the hair withstands the processes of bleaching, colouring, drying, and overall production. What we discovered was that Chinese cuticle Remy A+ hair is 22-30% stronger than other hair types. This strength ensures that the hair can endure chemical treatments and daily wear without breaking down, providing longer-lasting, more luxurious extensions.

For stylists, this means more durable extensions that maintain their beauty through repeated washes, colour treatments, and styling—giving you the confidence that your clients will leave your chair with extensions that look stunning and perform even better.

Ethical Sourcing: Beauty with Integrity

At Showpony, we know that beauty should come with integrity. We are committed to sourcing our hair ethically, and that commitment remains unchanged with our new sourcing strategy. We have partnered with leading factories that are sourcing in the Sichuan province of China, where we’ve built strong relationships to ensure that our hair is sourced responsibly.

These factories don’t just provide high-quality hair—they also adhere to ethical labour practices, which include:

· Fair compensation for workers

· On-site meals for staff

· Development programs that support the growth and wellbeing of their teams

We are working closely with our suppliers to provide transparency and evidence of these best practices. For consumers, this means that you can feel confident that your Showpony extensions are created with respect for both the people producing them and the environment.

Sustainability: Environmentally Responsible Production

Sustainability is one of our core values, and we have made sure that our new sourcing practices align with our commitment to the planet. The factories we work with are certified for their environmentally responsible practices, including advanced water treatment systems that prevent toxic dyes from contaminating local water sources. This ensures that our production processes are as eco-friendly as possible, minimizing the environmental footprint of every set of extensions we create.

What This Means for You

For stylists, 100% cuticle Remy A+ Chinese hair means that you are working with the best. You can confidently offer your clients stronger, longer-lasting extensions that maintain their beauty, texture, and durability.

For consumers, you can feel good about wearing Showpony hair extensions, knowing that they are sourced responsibly, produced ethically, and created with sustainability in mind.

We believe that beauty should empower, and that’s why we’ve made this change—to deliver not only the best-looking hair extensions but also ones that uphold our values of quality, ethics, and environmental responsibility.

Thank you for being part of our journey as we continue to innovate and lead with integrity.
