This table is generated from the same source the brand pages, the menu and the home-page range are generated from — so there is no state in which a brand page says one thing and the comparison says another.

All three lines are 100% human hair. What separates them is the bond, not the quality of the hair.
Which, when
What each line is asked for
TOPEGO PREMIUM+
Weaving, under the WEAVINGthick patent. The weave is done by hand with no mechanical step, no glue and no heat bonding. What it buys is density: per the company's own material, double the density of other methods.
So this is the line that comes up when the brief is filling and thickening — places where tape does not reach the required density.
Tapeit
A tape with a double adhesion surface, manufactured in the USA. Per the company's material it allows full use in the sea and in a pool, and it suits even very fine, thin hair.
This is the brand the company was built on and the one most of the work is actually done with. When the brief is length and volume, this is the default.
Smartape
A gel tape that gathers the hair section into the bond. A gentle method, and the aftercare that follows is gentle too — the aftercare instructions were originally written for this line.
It is the entry point: the first method a salon learns to work with, and an answer to fine hair and thickening.
