Nano Tip Hair Extensions

Nano Tip Hair Extension FAQ

• What makes nano tip hair extensions different from other extensions?

  Nano tip hair extensions use small, metal nano rings to secure the extensions in place, making them one of the least visible and most discreet methods available. They are ideal for people with fine hair, as the tiny bonds are almost undetectable and provide a more natural look compared to larger bonds like micro rings.

• How long do nano tip extensions last?

  With proper care, nano tip extensions can last anywhere from 4 to 9 months. They usually need to be repositioned every 8 to 12 weeks to accommodate natural hair growth. Since they don’t require heat or glue, they cause minimal damage to natural hair, allowing for long-term use.

• Are nano tip hair extensions suitable for fine hair?

  Yes, nano tip extensions are especially suited for fine hair due to their tiny, discreet bonds. The small nano rings provide a secure fit without putting too much strain on delicate hair, allowing for comfortable wear and a natural look.

• How are nano tip extensions maintained?

  Regular maintenance involves brushing your extensions gently, avoiding oily products near the bonds, and using sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners. It’s also recommended to visit a professional stylist every 8-10 weeks for repositioning and check-ups to ensure the bonds stay secure.

• Can I style my nano tip hair extensions with heat tools?

  Yes, nano tip extensions made with 100% Remy human hair can be styled just like your natural hair. You can curl, straighten, and blow-dry them, but always use a heat protectant spray to avoid damaging the hair and weakening the bonds.

• How are nano tip extensions applied?

  Nano tip extensions are installed simply by threading the natural hair through a small ring at the top of the weft before being squeezed securely into place by a small pair of pliers.

  Unlike some semi-permanent hair extensions, nano tip extensions require no glue or heat, helping to avoid damaging your natural hair.

  Nano tips can take up to 4 hours to apply by a professional. If you’re looking to have quality nano-tip hair extensions fitted, Milk & Blush offers a full selection of 100% Remy human hair nano tips. Simply pick your desired shade and length from our website, or speak to your stylist.

• Can I wash my nano tips like my own hair? And what shampoo and conditioner should I use?

  Yes, you can wash your hair with nano-tip extensions in! As a rule of thumb, we suggest washing your lengths at least twice a week to prevent your natural oils from weakening the tips.

  But before you reach for any old shampoo, it’s important to ensure you use the right hair products to keep your tresses in the best condition. We recommend using sulphate-free shampoo and conditioners in particular.

  For the best results, we recommend Milk & Blush softening shampoo and conditioner for nourished lengths. Be careful not to overwash because this can weaken the extensions.

• Can I brush my nano tips?

  Yes, you can! Brushing your nano tips helps to keep your hair tangle- and knot-free.

  We recommend using our vegan boar bristle brush to keep your hair and extensions in the best condition; a vegan boar bristle brush is one of the gentlest ways to comb your hair and helps to prevent damage and tangles.

  And while we’re at it, always avoid brushing your hair when wet, as this can cause damage to your natural hair and the extension

• Can I put my hair up with nano tips in?

  With Milk & Blush nano tips fitted, you can put your hair up with nano tips in.

  Unlike other brands, our Nano Tips boast a unique flexible tip that effortlessly allows you to wear your hair up with ease. Once you have let your extensions settle for the first 2 weeks, you can begin experimenting with different looks. Nano tips are as small as the nib of a ballpoint pen, so you will have no trouble hiding them in different hairstyles.

  With little practice, the bonds blend seamlessly into countless ponys, braids and buns, allowing you to get creative with your style.

• How many packs of nano tips do I need?

  The amount of packs you need really depends on your desired result, so we would suggest asking your stylist for advice on this.

  For a full head, 150g is standard, however, if your hair is thicker or finer, you may find 200g or more will be suitable, this amount will vary from person to person.
