Suppliers should provide follicle integrity reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u00b7 What payment methods are safest for first-time orders?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use escrow services (e.g., Alibaba Trade Assurance) or Letters of Credit (LC) to minimize fraud risks. Avoid 100% upfront payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u00b7 How can I ensure my hair order matches the sample quality?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Include a \u201cgolden sample\u201d signed by both parties in the contract.
