Our ethically sourced hair is gently collected from naturally shed strands, ensuring no woman is ever pressured or harmed. This unique method empowers women in rural communities with economic opportunities while providing you with high-quality, chemical-free extensions you can feel good about.

Because our hair is collected with respect, it may require a little extra love and attention—a small ritual that connects you to the women who generously share their naturally shed strands.

Our Collective

Beauty with a Purpose: Creating Positive Change

At Ayune Hair, we believe beauty can be a force for good. Our unique collection process is one of the most ethical ways to source human hair, empowering women in rural communities while providing you with high-quality extensions.

Unlike conventional hair sourcing methods that can exploit women, we partner with communities, collecting naturally shed hair with respect and dignity.

Because our hair is collected ethically—from naturally fallen strands—the cuticles may not always be perfectly aligned as they would be if cut directly from the head. This means your Ayune Hair extensions may require a little extra care to prevent tangling. Think of it as a small act of self-care, a connection to the women who generously share their naturally shed hair.

We've rigorously tested our hair and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our community. We're confident you'll love the quality and feel good about your purchase.

By choosing Ayune Hair, you're not just investing in beautiful extensions; you're investing in a more ethical and sustainable future for the beauty industry. You're joining a movement of conscious consumers who understand the power of their choices to create positive change.

Frequently asked questions

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we ship within Australia, but we also ship internationally to the US, Canada and New Zealand.

Please note that we are NOT responsible for any custom tax fees associated with your order. Due to the new UK VAT tax laws that came into force in Jan 2021, we are no longer making shipments to the UK until we can ensure our tax compliance.

How many bundles will I need for a full sew-in?

For a full sew-in, we recommend at least 3 bundles (we suggest more for longer bundles) and a closure.

How long will the hair last? 

At least a year and potentially longer if the hair is properly maintained.

How do I address frizz? 

Like natural hair, frizz is part of wearing human hair extensions. Depending on your environment (i.e. humidity, wind, etc) and the lack of natural sebum from a scalp your extensions may be exposed to frizz. Be sure to keep your hair properly moisturised (consider utilising natural humectants such as aloe vera juice) , seal with light oils to reduce the likelihood of frizz and opt for a mousse or light holding spray.

How do I deal with tangles?

Sustainable + chemical free human hair extensions involves dealing with slightly more tangles in comparison to hair covered in chemicals. Monitor your extensions (as you would with your own) to test the dryness (which leads to tangling) and be sure to moisturise when needed. Finger combing and detangling with a soft bristle brush (from the bottom up) helps address the tangles.
