A local combo fill-in is a mixed wholesale hair order that covers immediate salon or retail gaps without a full production run. Most buyers should order 8–10 weft bundles, 2–3 pounds of bulk braiding hair, and 20–30 tape-in packs in 16–22 inch best-sellers, then allow 7–10 business days. Here’s how to build it.
What belongs in a local combo fill-in order?
A useful fill-in isn’t a sample box; it should match your last 4–6 weeks of tickets. Put about half in weft hair (hair on a track for sew-ins), 30% in bulk hair (loose hair for braiding), and the rest in tape-ins (adhesive tabs near the root). If braiding drives most chairs, our guide to wholesale bulk human hair braiding styles compares textures for boho and knotless work. Stick to hair you already sell instead of testing four new patterns at once.
How many grams do you actually need?
A standard bundle is about 100 grams, or 3.5 ounces; use three for 12–16 inches and four for 18–28 inches. Tape-ins usually need 100 grams for fine hair and 150–200 grams for fuller looks; our tape-in hair buying guide explains the match. For braids, plan 4–8 ounces per client, with long boho styles reaching 10–12 ounces. For a local fill-in, start with 8–10 weft bundles, 2–3 pounds of bulk human hair, and 20–30 tape-in packs.
Lengths and colors that actually move
In our warehouse, 16–22 inch natural black and dark brown move fastest for sew-ins and tape-ins. Bulk braiding hair usually runs 18–24 inches, since clients want visible curls without extra weight. Keep 80–85% in core shades; use the rest for blonde, highlights, or a few 24–28 inch lengths. Slow 30-inch stock ties up cash needed when a popular 18-inch texture sells out.
How do you protect quality without overpaying?
Virgin hair is unprocessed human hair; cuticle aligned means outer cuticles face one direction, reducing tangles. It costs more, but it fits salon installs meant to last 8–12 months through washing and heat. Cheaper processed hair can work for budget or event orders, but don’t sell it as premium virgin or expect the same life. Check for short flyaways, greasy silicone, and roughness when fingers run from ends to root. Review the weft hair selection and shop all hair extensions to compare grades before ordering.
Lead times you should plan around
In-stock mixed orders process in 3–7 days, but a multi-texture fill-in is safer at 7–10 business days. Custom color or private labeling takes 12–18 days, so those aren’t emergency fill-ins. US shipping adds 3–7 days; summer or holiday rushes can add 3–5 more. Air freight is fast but eats margin; ocean is cheap, but 4–6 weeks won’t help a current gap. Reorder when a core SKU is down to two or three sales, not after clients hear no.
FAQ
Can I mix different hair categories in one order?
Usually yes, if each style or color meets its minimum; stock orders are more flexible than custom. Organize the PO by texture, length, and color so the warehouse doesn’t substitute a close match. Confirm the packing list before payment, since changes after packing cause delays.
What is the smallest useful fill-in for a local salon?
Start with 6 weft bundles, 1–2 pounds of bulk hair, and 10–15 tape-in packs in your top two lengths. Less than that can vanish in one busy week and cause another stockout. Samples test a curl pattern, but they don’t replace an inventory plan.
Pull last month’s bookings and mark every style where a client waited, switched colors, or left empty-handed. Build around those repeated gaps, then add one small test texture if budget allows.
