FAQ - Nanoplastia
Chemical Free & Formaldehyde Free
THE BRAND
The brand was founded in Finland in 2012, with the vision to make a difference to the hair industry by providing a safe, long-lasting, vegan straightening treatment for all hair types. Years later it has now expanded worldwide and become one of the leading brands in Nanoplastia.
WHAT IS A NANOPLASTIA TREATMENT
A gentle chemical-free process; infused with organic plant based ingredients which offers both straightening & deep nourishment in a 3-5 hour session, adding irresistible shine & extending the life of sleek, easy to manage frizz free hair for 6 months or more.
Also known as nano-straightening, it’s a formaldehyde-free plant-based hair straightening treatment that is an alternative to the Brazilian Blowdry.
IS THIS TREATMENT SAFE FOR MY HAIR?
Yes absolutely: Combining the very best natural and sustainable ingredients with the latest scientific technology allows this treatment to work from within and achieve continuous improvement and protection for the scalp and hair and does not harm the hairs natural bonds.
The formula is innovative, loaded with plant-based goodness which is designed to enhance, strengthen, adapt and restore hair safely, without causing any harm to your health or the environment.
Vegan, never tested on animals, and free from chemicals such as Formaldehyde, Carbocystein, Guanidine, Parabens, Sulphates, and Triclosan.
AFTER CARE REQUIREMENTS
WILL THE TREATMENT AFFECT MY COLOUR?
Colour can lift up to 5 tones. This is due to the heat used within the straightening process reacting with the amino acids, and is completely normal. The levels of lightening all depend on the base colour of the hair, the previous colours and how long ago it was coloured. Hair must be coloured at least 5 days prior to treatment, but I would advise you plan your colour 5-7 days after treatment.
BLONDE / HIGHLIGHTED HAIR
Containing all the same ingredients, the vegan blonde formula is perfect for blonde/bleached hair; containing nanoparticles of violet pigments that neutralize brassy/yellow tones, avoiding any colour change.
CAN I HAVE THIS TREATMENT IF I HAVE SHORT HAIR?
Yes, the hair has to be at least two inches long or more for the straightening part of the process.
CAN I HAVE A TREATMENT IF I HAVE HAIR EXTENSIONS?
‘Real hair’ extensions can be treated, however I advise against treatment for other extensions as they are specially treated by the manufacturer and very different to your real hair. Extensions must be removed before treatment and fitted again at least 7 days post treatment.
WILL MY NATURAL CURL PATTERN RETURN
The curl or wave pattern will only start to reappear at the root once the natural hair starts to grow through. Touch up treatments for roots only could be organised once the regrowth is long enough.
CAN I HAVE THIS TREATMENT IF I'M PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?
Yes the product is safe for use; however please consult with your midwife or doctor for reassurance and peace of mind.
CAN I GO SWIMMING AFTER HAVING THE TREATMENT?
If you go to a swimming pool or in the sea be sure to wash your hair straight after with a leave-in conditioner or mask to maintain your results. Regular swimming could reduce the length of the results due to the chlorine in the pool, do not use a shampoo that strips the chlorine as this will also strip the treatment from the hair.
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?
Between 3-5 hours depending on the length and thickness and degree of curl of the hair
HOW LONG WILL THE TREATMENT LAST
6 months or more, depending if the aftercare requirements have been followed correctly.
DOES THIS TREATMENT CONTAIN FORMALDEHYDE?
NO. It’s free from chemicals such as Formaldehyde, Carbocystein, Guanidine, Parabens, Sulphates, and Triclosan.
RESTRICTIONS FOR THIS TREATMENT
The treatment is not suitable for: Hair that has been damaged by aggressive chemicals; over-exposed to bleach; weak and/or extremely damaged hair; hair treated with Henna; scalp conditions such as scalp mycosis, psoriasis, and folliculitis.
SUITABILITY FOR TREATMENT
Although this treatment has been dermatology tested, if you think you may be sensitive to any of the amino or organic acids listed I’m happy to post out a sample of the treatment to carry out a skin test.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR A TREATMENT AT HOME?
It’s very simple; ensure you shampoo your hair (no conditioner or hair products) and blast dry or leave to dry naturally before I arrive.
I just need a table for my equipment and a chair for you to sit in comfortably, also a workable shower, as part of the treatment process involves washing your hair at the end... that's it!

AFTER CARE REQUIREMENTS
- You can wash your hair any time after the treatment; you do not have to wait
- Don’t go to sleep when your hair is wet as this may damage the effects of the treatment
- You must use a sulphate free shampoo and hydrating conditioner (highly recommend the maintenance kit which I carry as it is best for prolonging the results and maintaining shine)
- You can style your hair as you wish e.g. curl with heat, ponytail etc. and it will return to straight hair after your next wash.
- Do not have your hair coloured or bleached until at least 5-7 days after the treatment
- For extra shiny, sleek hair I recommend blow drying after washing
- Moisturise your hair once per week with a leave-in conditioner, oil or mask to maintain the results and shine for even longer.
