Be unbeweaveable in India-How I started my business

Hi there,
Wel­come to our web­site and to our blog. Be unbe­weave­able was launched in 2014 and before start­ing the busi­ness, I vis­it­ed India to find the best hair qual­i­ty. It was an inten­sive trip full of obsta­cles but worth it. In the back of a small Tuk Tuk I trav­elled with my part­ner through India for 10 days.

‘Some were big fac­to­ries, oth­ers where lofts in hous­es, or sim­ply a cor­ner in the liv­ing room’

Before leav­ing I made a list of poten­tial com­pa­nies to vis­it. The Tuk Tuk dri­ver was very nice and drove us around all day. The hair busi­ness is an impor­tant source of income in India. It was very inter­est­ing to see dif­fer­ent com­pa­nies. Some were big fac­to­ries, oth­ers where lofts in hous­es, or sim­ply a cor­ner in the liv­ing room. I saw var­i­ous types of hairs because even in India there is good and bad qual­i­ty. For me it was also very impor­tant to do busi­ness with a clean and orga­nized com­pa­ny. There were fac­to­ries where it was so full of hair and peo­ple that you could bare­ly breath. It hap­pened a few times that I left the place imme­di­ate­ly after arrival.

‘It was quite late and rain­ing when he pro­posed us to bring us to a fac­to­ry that was
a 1‑hour drive’

Dur­ing our trip, we had two dif­fer­ent dri­vers. Where the smart peo­ple rent­ed a car we decid­ed to be adven­tur­ous and con­cur all in Indi­an style. After a while our sec­ond dri­ver noticed that we were look­ing for hair. It was quite late and rain­ing when he pro­posed us to bring us to a fac­to­ry that was a 1‑hour dri­ve away. I was not sure if it would be worth it but since I was already in India we decid­ed to give it a try. And that’s where I found what I was look­ing for.

The fac­to­ry was big, orga­nized and very clean. The hair was the high­est qual­i­ty, off course the price was also high­er but my goal was the best hair. After inspect­ing the hairs, my part­ner nego­ti­at­ed about the price and we placed an order for 10 kilos. With bags full of hair, we left two days lat­er back to the Netherlands.

‘I’m hap­py to share my adven­ture with you and to be able to offer great hair’
India has a very rich cul­ture and the peo­ple are very friend­ly. Besides look­ing for hair we also vis­it­ed a big tem­ple unfor­tu­nate­ly we were not allowed inside the tem­ple because we were not reli­gious. We enjoyed the Indi­an kitchen and did some shop­ping at the local stores and mar­kets. India was a pleas­ant expe­ri­ence and for sure I would love to go back again to explore dif­fer­ent parts. For now, I’m hap­py to share my adven­ture with you and to be able to offer great hair.
