We like assisting our new trainees as they expand their businesses in the hair extension sector, which is a fast-growing industry. One of the most important things to know is which type of hair extension will work best for each customer, as well as the ones you will offer. Students enrolled in our Essentials Training can study one of three approaches; here is our guide to all you need to know about Nano Rings to assist you in making your decision.
The Smallest Hair Extension Bond
Most clients want their hair extensions to be unnoticeable, and concealing tapes or rings in very thin hair or with certain styles can be challenging. Nano rings are 90% smaller than micro rings and were designed to be as compact as feasible. They’re about the size of a ballpoint pen nib, and they’re unlikely to be noticed.
The keratin tip of nano tip hair has a tiny metal or plastic loop that goes into the nano ring with a few strands of the client’s hair. Nano rings can be unlined copper, which has a flatter finish, or silicone-lined copper, which has a less slick finish. Which one you choose is mostly determined by the client’s desire to wait between maintenance sessions.
Advantages of Nano Rings
The main benefit of nano ring extensions is their small size, which allows clients to style their hair in any way they choose while maintaining a natural look and feel. Clients can have longer, fuller hair without having to worry about the bonds showing. Nano ring extensions can last three to four months if your customer maintains them on a regular basis, which is longer than other treatments.
Nano rings are also one of the least harmful hair extensions available. The client’s natural hair is safeguarded because no heat or chemicals are needed to apply or remove them. Rings with silicone linings are also less likely to be damaged.
Disadvantages of Nano Rings
Because nano rings are so little, only a few hairs are captured in each one, there is less natural hair to support the weight of the extensions than there is with micro rings. That indicates that natural hair shedding can result in greater shedding or slipping, especially in individuals with very delicate or oily hair. Maintenance sessions are required every three to four weeks to keep your client’s tresses looking wonderful, which is more frequently than with other treatments, therefore it’s critical that they agree to this before having nano rings done.
It’s also crucial to note that the nano rings don’t completely cover the keratin link at the extension’s tip. The bond is protected by a tiny ring, which shields it from natural hair oil, chemicals, and even heat damage when blow-drying or straightening. The keratin bond may be degraded over time if it is not protected.
In a nutshell, that’s everything you needed to know about nano rings. They’re an excellent way to place extensions that are nearly unnoticeable and don’t harm your client’s natural hair. However, as with any approach, they aren’t for everyone and require a lot of upkeep.
Are Nano bonds bad for your hair?
When applied by a competent professional, nano ring hair extensions do not harm the natural hair. In fact, they are one of the least destructive hair extension treatments available. They don’t require heat or glue to keep them in place, so they’ll be friendlier on your hair.
Can Nano rings make you lose your hair?
A tiny metal loop protrudes from the end of the *pre bonded hair extension in nano tip hair extensions. They’re applied in the same way that micro ring hair extensions are, however the loop is inserted into the bottom of the ring instead of the bond.
Pros Individually applied so your hair may grow freely, much lighter than wefted hair, hair can be worn high, but rings may be evident depending on hair type and placement.
Cons – Because the size of the hair extension/bond cannot be adjusted to fit the placement or hair type, bonds may be too hefty, causing tension and stress and eventually hair loss. Only a small amount of natural hair can be dragged through the nano ring to sustain the pre-bonded extension because it is so small. This might result in hair loss and harm to the roots. Although the loop and nano ring are small, nano tipped bonds are large and unattractive, and can be seen when the hair is pulled back. Metal allergy sufferers may experience an allergic reaction to them. It is not always possible to get a good color match with your natural hair; it must be professionally removed to avoid root damage; and it requires moderate home care.
Very Small
Nano Rings have a number of obvious advantages, one of which being their small size. They’re around 90% smaller than normal Micro Rings, and because of their microscopic bonds, they’re virtually undetectable and fit in with your natural hair. They’re also available in a variety of colors that match the color of your roots, making them even less noticeable.
Secure
Nano Rings Extensions are incredibly secure when correctly fitted because they use the stand-by-stand approach. Nano Rings are incredibly secure if the suitable amount of natural hair is inserted within the rings and your hair is not too soft or oily. They could last up to 6 months with the right aftercare products and maintenance.
Suitable For thin Hair Types
Because regular micro rings may be visible within fine or thin hair, Nano Ring Extensions are the right match for you if you have thin hair. Even if you have very fine hair, Nano Ring hair extensions may only require around a half head of hair and will still be nearly undetectable.
Regular maintenance
Nano Rings Extensions are quite little, as previously said, and will require frequent maintenance to keep them clean and tangle-free. You’ll need to keep them separated from the roots on a regular basis, and you’ll need to see your hair extension expert every 2-3 months to have them removed and reinstalled.
Slippage
Nano Rings are ideal for most hair types due to their microscopic size. If your hair is naturally greasy, soft, or silky, however, you may notice that they slip down and become little loose. Knowing your hair type, you must be prepared for this possibility and willing to accept the risk. Your extensionist should be able to suggest a Hair Extensions procedure that is specifically tailored to your hair, ensuring that you are entirely satisfied with the ultimate results.
Do nano beads make your hair fall out?
Because our Nano-link extensions are so light and small, they create very little pulling on your natural hair, and none of our customers have experienced traction alopecia. This is especially true for low-quality extensions, such as those manufactured with non-human hair or those with broken cuticles.
Which hair extensions are the least damaging?
Hair extensions are an excellent approach to deal with the desire for more from your hair without having to completely abandon it. If you’re worried that wearing hair extensions can hurt your natural hair, here are some of the least harmful hair extensions you can obtain.
How do you wash Nano extensions hair?
Washing instructions: Do not use conditioner on the bonds. Make sure you wash your hair properly (a shower is an idea). Never wash your extensions over a sink or batch; instead, gently massage the hair to eliminate excess water. Do not rub one more.
What are the best extensions for thin hair?
For fine hair, this is the best type. Their flat bond creates a natural look that blends in with even the tiniest hairs. The wefts are sandwiched between the natural hair and secured with polyurethane tape near to the root. They are semi-permanent and last up to six weeks and are easy to apply and remove (the application process takes about 30-90 minutes). When a new tape is applied, tape-in extensions can be reused for up to eight weeks following the first application. They are thin and lightweight, with even distribution across the head and no stress imposed on individual strands, and they do not damage the hair. To reduce the weight and thickness of each piece, the sandwiching method of application can also be changed to glue a single weft in place with a piece of tape rather than a second weft for very fine hair.
How long do Nano Ring Extensions last?
As a general rule of thumb, nano tip hair extensions should last 6-9 months in your hair if properly cared for.
Is it worthwhile to invest in Nano-extensions?
For thin hair, Nano Ring Extensions may be the finest alternative. Because regular micro rings may be visible in thin or fine hair, this is the case. With these extensions, even if you have exceedingly fine hair, you may just require half a head of hair. These will remain practically undetectable.
