At Platin Factory, every strand of hair carries the identity of its homeland.
We don’t simply process hair — we preserve its origin, enhance its natural structure, and bring out the beauty hidden within every texture.
Each region tells a different story through its hair: its climate, its people, its way of life.
That’s why every hair type entering our facility is processed on dedicated production lines, with customized formulas that respect its nature.
Our goal is to strengthen the natural structure while maintaining full authenticity, ensuring that stylists and distributors receive the same trusted quality in every batch.
From the strength of the Middle East to the softness of the Slavic regions, from India’s balance to China’s industrial scale — every origin finds a new life within Platin Factory.
Here are the unique characteristics and technical advantages of each global hair type we work with.
Middle Eastern Hair – Strong, Voluminous, and Full of Character
Sourced from Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Afghanistan, Middle Eastern hair is known for its naturally thick strands and powerful body.
Its texture is often wavy or slightly curly, with high density and volume retention.
It endures bleaching processes extremely well, maintaining its structure even after color lifting.
For this reason, it’s ideal for achieving light tones such as platinum shades without losing texture integrity.
Middle Eastern hair is widely used in keratin, tape-in, and weft production due to its longevity and natural thickness.
Its greatest advantage is the ability to preserve volume and vitality over long periods of wear.
It also offers excellent heat resistance, ensuring stability during professional salon applications.
Each use provides a natural fullness and strong hold, perfectly suited for Mediterranean beauty standards.
In short: durable, bold, and high-performance — the power symbol of Platin Factory.
Slavic Hair – Fine, Silky, and Luxuriously Soft
Collected mainly from Ukraine, Russia, and Poland, Slavic hair represents the premium segment of the global market.
It’s exceptionally fine, naturally silky, and smooth to the touch.
Its natural tone range leans toward lighter shades, often eliminating the need for heavy bleaching.
The hair’s natural shine and uniformity make it one of the most desired materials in the European market.
Despite its delicate appearance, Slavic hair is remarkably durable and resists matting or frizzing.
It delivers seamless color transitions, ideal for advanced coloring techniques like balayage and ombré.
Its refinement lies in its simplicity — a quiet luxury felt instantly upon touch.
Indian Hair – Balanced, Flexible, and Adaptable
Collected across the Indian subcontinent, Indian hair is recognized for its medium thickness and natural wave.
It strikes a perfect balance between the softness of Slavic hair and the strength of Middle Eastern hair.
Neither too delicate nor too coarse, it delivers reliable results in bleaching, coloring, and keratin treatments.
Because of this, Platin Factory classifies it as a “universal texture,” adaptable to both Asian and Western styling preferences.
Indian hair retains color pigments exceptionally well, making it ideal for multi-tone techniques such as balayage and ombré.
Its balanced elasticity supports both durability and aesthetic harmony.
Stylists appreciate its easy styling, smooth combing, and consistent shape retention.
Within our production system, Indian hair serves as the perfect bridge — balancing performance with natural beauty.
Chinese Hair – Industrial Strength, Reliable Consistency
Chinese hair is known for its thick, straight, and heavy structure, typically in dark brown or black tones.
While bleaching requires precision, when treated correctly, it delivers an exceptionally smooth and glossy surface.
It is the preferred material for large-volume OEM productions and high-capacity industrial processing.
Its uniform texture and availability make it suitable for mass production and standardized product lines.
At Platin Factory, Chinese hair is classified as “industrial grade,” optimized for brands seeking cost efficiency without compromising reliability.
It offers high supply capacity, controlled quality, and excellent straight-hair aesthetics.
