Banbury Postiche fully supports the responsible and ethical sourcing of materials used in making our products. This includes hair used in hair extensions and wig making.
All of our materials are sourced from traceable sources where hair donation is made willingly, and the proceeds from the sale are put directly back into the local communities.
We have worked with the same network of suppliers for many years and are confident in the sourcing, processing, and supply chains that every effort is made to ensure responsibility and ethicality.
Banbury Postiche only ever buys hair that has been directly cut from the head and is root-point correct, with the cuticle intact, thus avoiding the labour-intensive process of turning the hair to achieve this.
Hair is sold as either "Cut" or "Combed." Combed hair is hair that falls to the floor or is collected from combs, hairbrushes, and floors. This hair is mixed root and point and requires intensive manual labour to achieve the root-point condition necessary for use in hairdressing, hair extensions, wigs, and added hairpieces.
All European hair preparation is carried out by Banbury Postiche by their team based in the UK. There is no third-party processing. All hair is purchased as raw hair, so Banbury Postiche can provide a heritage of any processing from its natural state to the specification required by each customer.
