"Can hair extensions be worn ethically?"
It's a question we've been asking ourselves at Ayune Hair since day one. Years ago, we had the opportunity to delve into this important topic on the For Harriet podcast, and the conversation is still relevant today.
The truth is, the hair extension industry has a complex history. Traditional sourcing methods can often involve exploitation and unfair treatment of women. This reality is what drove us to create Ayune Hair—a brand built on ethical principles.
What We Discussed on For Harriet
During the podcast, we explored the key factors that define ethical hair sourcing:
1. Transparency: Knowing the origin of the hair and how it was obtained.
2. Compensation: Ensuring that the women providing the hair are compensated for their contribution.
3. Respect and Dignity: Treating all individuals involved in the process with respect and avoiding any form of coercion or exploitation.
The Ayune Hair Difference
At Ayune Hair, we partner with Southeast Asian communities, collecting naturally shed hair. This method ensures that no woman is ever pressured to cut their hair and provides them with a sustainable income.
We believe that beauty should never come at the expense of someone else's well-being. By choosing Ayune Hair, you're choosing ethical beauty and supporting a more just and compassionate industry.
