Launching a private label can be exciting—and overwhelming. One of the most common questions I get from new brand owners is: “Which hair accessories should I start with?”
The best products for private label startups balance style, cost-efficiency, easy customization, and fast production. You want trendy items that photograph well, appeal to different ages, and offer enough margin to grow profitably.
At HairAcc, we’ve helped hundreds of new businesses get started. From Amazon sellers to boutique brands, here's what we recommend for the smartest start.
Are Scrunchies Still a Top Private Label Choice?
Scrunchies are the #1 entry product for good reason. They're low-cost, lightweight, trendy across generations, and super customizable.
Private label scrunchies allow you to play with colors, fabrics, and packaging without high MOQs. You can offer mix packs, seasonal collections, or bundle them with other accessories.
Why Are Scrunchies Great for Branding?
They offer a perfect surface for logo tags, printed elastic, or packaging add-ons. Even basic cotton styles can look premium with the right presentation.
How Can You Scale Quickly?
Start with 3–5 color options, build a mix pack, and use our barcode-ready packing. Many startups reorder within a month once they hit the right audience.
Should Startups Offer Claw Clips for Higher Ticket Value?
If scrunchies bring volume, claw clips bring value. They're heavier, pricier, and easier to price above $10 retail—which means more profit for you.
Claw clips are popular across age groups, especially among young adults and moms. For startups, they’re great for gifting, bundles, or single-SKU hero products.
What Designs Are Trending?
Matte finish, XL jaw clips, and geometric styles in neutral tones are top sellers. You can also go bold with pearl details or glitter coatings.
Can They Be Customized?
Yes. We offer engraved branding, custom molds, eco-resin versions, and exclusive packaging options for claw clips. Many sellers build their identity around a unique clip line.
Are Headbands a Must-Have for Niche Branding?
Headbands allow you to tell a story. Whether you’re targeting boho girls, minimalist moms, or fitness shoppers, there’s a headband for every vibe.
We recommend headbands as a branding anchor—especially if you want influencer photos, bundle SKUs, or event collabs. They're high-perceived value and can be adjusted for different markets.
Which Styles Work Best for Launch?
Padded headbands with fabric covers, elastic turban-style wraps, and braided textures are all top picks. Many brands launch capsule collections around 2–3 shapes and rotate fabrics.
Do You Offer Sizing or Seasonal Variants?
Yes. We offer headbands in adult, baby, and tween sizes. You can also pick seasonal fabrics—like knit for winter or satin for weddings—to drive year-round demand.
What Packaging Options Help Stand Out on Launch?
Great products need great packaging—especially for private label. Many startups win sales just by looking more premium than mass-market brands.
We offer full packaging solutions: custom hang tags, logo stickers, printed pouches, gift boxes, and ready-to-ship e-commerce bundles. You give us the logo—we do the rest.
What’s the MOQ for Custom Packaging?
Our minimums are flexible. For tags and pouches, it’s usually 500 pieces. For printed boxes or sleeves, 1000 pieces per style is standard. But we also offer starter kits for new brands.
Can You Help with Design?
Yes. We offer free mockups for first-time clients and work with you to pick colors, formats, and materials that match your brand vision.
