Black Friday is likely to be the greatest shopping day of the year, bringing with it great deals for all types of products. It wouldn’t be different for the hair category. If you are planning to get new wigs or weaves before the end of the year, this will be a good opportunity for you.
There are plenty of wigs for sale during Black Friday, so it is advisable that you start planning early if you want to make the most out of it.
Here are some of the best tips on how to shop for hair during this special period of the year.
1. Don’t wait for Black Friday
Black Friday is no longer restricted to one day of the month. Each year, more merchants are running campaigns throughout November, some of them even starting at the end of October. It is actually better if you don’t wait until Black Friday weekend to start shopping for your new hair. Keep in mind that the best wigs for sale are likely to be scooped up fast, and some products may already be sold out by the end of the month.
2. Know what you want to buy
To get the finest wigs for sale, you must first do your homework. Try to make a list of what you actually want, considering the type of hair, lace, length, and texture, so you don’t get lost in a sea of amazing opportunities. If you stick to your plan, chances are that you won’t be overspending on things that you don’t need at the moment. This tip is valid for any type of product that you are looking to purchase during Black Friday in South Africa and not only for the hair category.
3. List the brands that you would consider buying from
First and foremost, you must conduct research on your selected hair brands. You probably already know a few suppliers from which you have purchased in the past, but it is also a good idea to broaden your search and see if there isn’t another lovely wig brand out there that would catch your eye.
4. Join a newsletter about your favourite brands
Reputable brands of hair normally offer you the opportunity to join their newsletter mailing list. This is the best way to be notified about wigs for sale. Some of them also run specials exclusively for subscribers or offer additional discount coupons that can be redeemed together with their Black Friday deals.
It is also a great idea to follow your favourite brands on social media to be the first to know about wigs for sale as they become available. Keeping an eye out for special discounts and incentives in your inbox as well as on Instagram and Facebook will surely increase your chances of getting the best deal.
5. Avoid the queues and shop online
Many people usually assume that buying a wig after touching and feeling the hair and fitting it on our heads would be the best, but during Black Friday you might find yourself a little too overwhelmed to actually enjoy the traditional way of shopping. Brands like LolaSilk offer you the ability to buy online and try the wig in the comfort of your home, and if for any reason you are not happy with it, you can ask them to collect it back from you (Ts&Cs apply).
6. Check the return policy
Some hair brands might not offer returns for items on sale, which can be a huge problem, especially if you are buying a wig that is for sale online. Checking the return policy upfront will give you the peace of mind that you need when you are about to make the final decision.
7. Check payment options
This tip can make a huge difference when you are buying lace wigs for sale, which can be quite expensive even with discounted prices. The best online stores in South Africa will give you options of payment where you can buy now and pay later, which means you can get the best deals in November but pay the rest of the cost in the following weeks or months.
LolaSilk currently offers 3 options for buy now pay later connected to their online store: PayFlex, Mobicred, and PayJustNow. Each one of them will request a first instalment payment, and the rest you will pay after you have received the product.
8. Stay away from scammers
Black Friday is an amazing shopping opportunity, but there is also an increased number of scammers that will try to deceive you. The best way to avoid scammers is to actually do some research about any new supplier to make sure they are legit. Avoid buying from brands that don’t have a proper website and trade exclusively through WhatsApp or only accept cash payments. In fact, the more payment options a hair brand offers through their online store, the more you know you can trust them.
Whether you’re shopping for Christmas gifts or for yourself, getting the best wigs for sale during Black Friday involves getting started early and doing your research upfront. Follow the tips above to help you get the most out of this experience.
