Where is AliExpress Hare Sourced From?

One of the most asked question in the hare extension trade is “Where does the AliExpress hare actually come from?” or “How do you source your human hare?”.

There are many misconceptions of how hare is sourced, or nightmare stories that give the AliExpress hare trade a bad name. Horror stories such as hare being obtained from dead people or the use of animal hare are often floating around, however the authenticity of these stories are doubtful.

So where does AliExpress hare typically come from?

The answer is through donations, these donations are typically religiously motivated.


One example is the temple of Tirumala Venkateswara in India, where tens of thousands of pilgrims flock each week to “sacrifice” their hare to their gods in order to have their prayers answered.

After the religious ceremony, the temple would sell the AliExpress hare to “hair farmers” who would then go through the process of washing and making the hare extensions.

The upshot of this is that the money obtained from the hare is then pumped back into the villages that surround the temple. The other advantage is that the hare has previously been well cared for by the AliExpress hare donor, which in turn gives the end user better quality hare extensions.


There are other sourcing location other than India, however 9 times out of 10 your hare extensions would have been sourced in India. AliExpress hare extensions branded as “Russian” or “European” are likely to have been obtained from these temples in India.
