Hair length is not just an aesthetic element in order planning; it is also a key factor in pricing, profitability, and customer targeting.
At Platin Factory, each length category is classified based on production difficulty and raw material availability.
The general rule is simple: the longer the hair, the rarer the material and the higher the price and profit margin.

Explanation
Short lengths (40–45–50 cm) are typically used for volume enhancement and thickening.
They are cost-effective, easy to apply, and give clients a natural, effortless look.
For salons, these lengths provide fast stock rotation and stable profitability.
They are ideal for high-volume, broad market sales.
Long lengths (60–70–80 cm) are used for full transformations and luxury applications.
They are rarer, require longer collection and careful processing, but yield higher profit margins.
They are preferred for special events, photo shoots, stage work, and exclusive clientele.
Strategic Overview
A successful salon or distributor maintains a balanced portfolio between the two categories:
Short & medium lengths (40–50 cm):High turnover, steady cash flow, fast rotation.
Long lengths (60–80 cm):Lower volume, higher profit margins, brand prestige.
A well-structured length strategy helps to:
• Optimize stock management
• Maximize profitability
• Meet customer expectations precisely
Platin Factory prices each length category based on raw hair availability, processing time, and global demand.
This enables every buyer to build an effective length strategy tailored to their market and clientele.
Short hair builds volume; long hair builds value.
