FAQ and Aftercare

Are Nano Hair Extensions damaging?

When fitted by a trained professional, nano ring extensions are not damaging to the natural hair.  They do not require heat or glue to secure them. The beads are very small and carry no weight. the nano link hair stands only weigh 0.8 grams a piece. As long as you take care of them properly there is virtually no damage to your natural hair.

​

How do I prepare for my consultation?

For straight hair please come to the consultation with clean straight hair with no products. For wavy of curly hair please come to the consultation with your hair styled with products (no heat styling)

​

How do I come in for my hair installation. 

For straight hair please come with clean, straight hair. For textures hair come in with no products, and the hair air dried in its natural state. 

​

​Can I have them if my hair is thin and fragile?

Yes! We have a wide range of options for individuals struggling with hair loss. Advanced hair loss systems are available for thinning in the crown as well as fragile hair all over. We use hybrid methods to achieve the desired look while keeping your natural hair safe. 

​

Can  I still wear my hair up?

Yes! I will install the hair with a safety margin so that you can wear your hair in a pony and it won't show

​

What kind of hair do you use?

I only use high quality 100% cuticle intact human hair.  It is European double drawn hair and is thick from roots to the end 

​

How long does the hair last?

Since Nano's are reusable when taken care of properly your hair can last 6 months to 1 year + with proper care. 

​

When do I need maintenance?

Maintenance is required every 6-8weeks depending on hair type and hair growth pattern.  It is very important to come back for routine maintenance to ensure no damage happens.

​

How do I wash my hair with Nanos in?

Keep your head upright and gently massage starting at the scalp between the bonds.  do not twist or rub.  Do not use conditioner at the bonds.  Use sulphate and paraben-free shampoo and conditioner.  Make sure its a gentle cleansing moisturizing line. Never put oils on the bonds.  Blow-dry after and avoid using heat on the bonds.  I recommend using a clarifying shampoo once a week on the scalp to help reduce build-up and an itchy scalp. 

​

How do I brush my extensions?

I always recommend using a wet brush or loop brush with nano extensions.  Always start from the bottom and work your way up to the roots while holding the hair.

​

How do I sleep with them in?

Never sleep with wet hair.  Brush before bed and tie in a low ponytail or braid before bed.

​

Will it be uncomfortable?

Everyone reacts differently.  Some people will find it mildly uncomfortable for the first 2 weeks, then they say they cant feel them anymore and just feels like part of their hair.

Aftercare for your curly hair extensions and wavy hair extensions

​​

Can the hair be straightened or curled?
Yes, the hair can be heat styled. However, please note that while you can straighten or curl the extensions, they will not achieve a perfectly pin-straight look. Heat styling can reduce the lifespan and curl pattern of the hair.

How do I care for my extensions?
Curly Hair Extensions Care Tips

• Sleep Care: Never sleep with wet hair. Before bed, put your hair in a loose ponytail or braid to prevent tangling and frizz.

•  Brushing & Detangling: Always brush from the bottom up, gently working through any tangles. For curly hair, it’s best to separate the bonds and brush gently before showering. In the shower, detangle and brush with conditioner to minimize breakage.

• Limit Heat Styling: Frequent heat styling can shorten the life of your extensions. When styling is necessary, always use a heat protectant.

• Daily Moisture: Apply a nourishing oil to the ends daily to keep them hydrated and prevent dryness.

• Washing Guidelines: Use a salon-grade shampoo and conditioner that is sulfate- and paraben-free. Wash and rinse with cool to warm water (not hot), and limit washing to 1-3 times per week.

• Weekly Deep Conditioning: Treat your extensions to a nourishing hair mask once a week to maintain moisture and softness.​

How do I style wavy hair​ extensions?

1. Wash & Detangle in the Shower
   Use an approved shampoo and conditioner. While the conditioner is on, detangle using a wet brush or wide-tooth comb.

2. Style From Wet
   After rinsing, apply a leave-in conditioner (from the approved list) and allow the hair to air dry or diffuse to dry (see diffusing tips below).

3. For More Defined Waves
   Apply products in this order while hair is wet:
   - Leave-in conditioner
   - Curl cream
   - Oligo Blacklight Volume Mousse
   Scrunch the hair between each product. Let air dry fully or diffuse, then scrunch out the crunch for soft, defined waves.

4. Between Washes
   When brushing the wavy hair dry, use a wet brush for a soft, fluffy straight look.
   For a more defined wave between washes, use a wide-tooth comb instead.

​

Troubleshooting Tip:

If your natural hair is curlier than the wavy extensions but not curly enough to match the curly texture, try using a heavier leave-in conditioner after washing. This will help weigh down your curls for a smoother blend.
