Nano & Individuals
Nano and Individual Hair Extensions are applied by carefully isolating small sections of your natural hair and attaching a lightweight hair extension, typically weighing around 0.8–1 gram, using a discreet beaded method. During the application, a nano bead is gently slid onto the isolated section of your hair. The extension is then positioned inside the bead and securely clamped, creating a strong yet comfortable bond that sits neatly against the hair.
​
There are several types of individual hair extensions, including Micro, I-Tip, Ultra Tip, Stick Tip, and Nano extensions. Of all these options, Nano extensions are by far my most popular method. Nano extensions offer 360-degree movement, allowing for natural flow, flexible styling, and a seamless blend with your own hair. They are ideal for adding both length and volume, while remaining lightweight, discreet, and comfortable to wear.
All About Nanos
Nanos are best applied when they match the natural hair density, but can add additional volume as well as length.
For extra fullness at the sides, around 50g is ideal, with a full head usually being around 140g - 160g.
​
They require refits around every 6-8 weeks and this is dependant on aftercare, lifestyle and your scalp health. Incorrect aftercare or an oilier scalp can alter how well the beads stay in the hair. Oiler hair or incorrect aftercare products can encourage the beads to slip, meaning a refit would be required more towards the 6 week mark.
​
Nanos move beautifully in the hair, mimicking natural hair fall and - with correct placement - are ideal and customisable for many hair up and options of styling.
​
Blondes can be brightened with a blend of nanos, and additional colours can be fitted to add dimension and chemical free colour to your natural hair, too!
