Can you combine different extension methods? - Yes, and often it is even the optimal solution!

Many customers ask whether it is possible to combine different extension methods - for example, tape-ins and bonding, or bonding with clip-ins.
The clear answer is: Yes!
And that's not all: in many cases, a combination is even ideal to achieve the most natural, beautiful and functional result possible.

In this article you will find out how different methods work together, what advantages they have and when which combination makes sense.

Why combine extensions at all?

Each method has its own strengths - and sometimes a mixture of different systems can deliver exactly what you want:

✔ Natural transition
✔ More abundance in certain areas
✔ More flexible styling options
✔ Better durability
✔ Ideal for fine, normal or strong hair
✔ Perfectly adaptable to head shape and hair distribution

Not every customer needs or tolerates the same method everywhere. This is why a combination can be a customised, individual solution.

1. tape-ins & bondings - the most popular combination

Tape extensions and bonding extensions complement each other perfectly.

When does this combination make sense?

Tapes

• Perfect for rapid volume build-up
• Ideal for the back of the head
• lie flat and inconspicuous on the head
• Can be raised quickly

Bondings

• Ideal for contours and side areas
• Perfect for fine, precise adjustment
• Extremely flexible and invisible

Typical application example:
Tapes at the back of the head for lots of volume & bonding on the sides and contours = very inconspicuous and natural result.

This is how you get:

• a soft case
• more abundance
• a beautiful hair distribution
• Invisible transitions

Particularly popular with clients who want length and lots of volume at the same time. By inserting bonding at the sides and contours, you can even lengthen the fringe area and work around vertebrae.

When combining these two methods, however, there is the disadvantage that the methods require a have different wearing times. Bondings can usually be worn for 3-5 months, whereas tapes can only be worn for 6-8 weeks. Therefore, you still have to change the Raise extensions.

This combination is particularly suitable for customers who:

✔ Rather wear tapes than bonding
✔ Need more volume in between
✔ do not want to wear a large amount of hair all the time

When does that make sense?

• Tape-ins provide lasting length and volume
• Clip-ins can be incorporated if required to create additional volume
