NANO BEAD EXTENSIONS FAQ
WHY NANO BEAD HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Nano Bead Hair Extensions: Why They're a Favorite Choice
Effortless and Efficient Application: Nano bead hair extensions provide a swift, straightforward application process. They are ideal for stylists who need to accommodate the most delicate client transformations on thin or fine hair.
Kind to Hair: We value the health of your clients' hair. Our nano bead extensions are designed to be gentle, avoid damage and maintain the natural hair's integrity.
Invisible and Natural Integration: Thanks to the world's smallest attachment points, these extensions blend seamlessly with the client's natural hair, offering an undetectable and stylish finish that elevates their look.
Versatile Styling Options: Nano bead extensions offer clients with thin and fine hair the freedom to explore various hairstyles that have been previously out of reach. The extensions stay hidden, even near the crown.
Economical and Reusable: Our high-quality nano bead extensions are not just a cost-effective choice for your salon; they are also reusable, providing long-term value for your clients so they return for service again and again.
Comfort for Everyday Wear: Designed with daily comfort in mind, these extensions never tug or pull. Free movement in all directions.
Universal Suitability: Nano bead extensions are incredibly adaptable, making them suitable for nearly all hair types.
Indeed, metal tip nano hair extensions are available in the market, but in our experience, they tend to be less effective.
Their smooth and hard interior often leads to a weaker grip, increasing the likelihood of slippage and failure.
For these reasons, we only recommend flex tips, which we've found to be consistently reliable.
I-Tip vs. Flex-Tip Nano Extensions:
Understanding the Differences
Attachment Technique:
- I-Tip Extensions: These are individual hair extensions attached with small metal beads. The client's hair is threaded through the bead alongside the I-tip extension, and then the bead is clamped down to secure the extension in place.
- Flex-Tip Nano Extensions: These also use a bead-like attachment, but the beads are significantly smaller, making them less noticeable. The nano beads are designed to be 90% smaller than traditional micro beads, offering a more discreet and comfortable fit.
Visibility and Comfort:
- I-Tip Extensions: While I-Tip extensions are popular, the beads are more visible even when installed carefully, especially in clients with very fine hair.
- Flex-Tip Nano Extensions: Due to the smaller size of the nano beads, these extensions are more discreet and comfortable. They are particularly suitable for clients with finer hair as the attachment is much less detectable.
Application Process:
- I-Tip Extensions: The installation process involves threading a section of the client’s hair through a bead, then inserting the I-tip extension into the bead, and clamping it shut.
- Flex-Tip Nano Extensions: Similar in application to I-tips, but the nano size requires more precision and care during installation. This may take slightly longer but results in a less detectable installation and a more natural finished style.
Weight Distribution:
- I-Tip Extensions: They can provide a more even distribution of weight along the hair shaft, which can be beneficial for preventing strain on natural hair.
- Flex-Tip Nano Extensions: With smaller beads, the weight is distributed even more finely, reducing the risk of tension or damage to the natural hair.
Suitability for Hair Types:
- I-Tip Extensions: Suitable for most hair types but may be more visible in very fine hair.
- Flex-Tip Nano Extensions: Ideal for finer hair types due to their small size and less detectable nature.
Maintenance and Upkeep:
- I-Tip Extensions: Regular maintenance is needed to adjust the beads as the natural hair grows out. This usually occurs every 6-8 weeks.
- Flex-Tip Nano Extensions: Similar maintenance schedule to I-tips, but due to the smaller size of the bonds, maintenance is slightly more time consuming.
WHAT HAIR QUALITY IS THIS?
Remy human hair is highly sought after in the world of hair extensions, including flex-tip nano extensions, for its superior quality.
What sets Remy hair apart is its cuticle alignment - all the hair strands are arranged with the cuticles pointing in the same direction, from root to tip. This unique feature is essential for ensuring the hair remains smooth, silky, and tangle-free, which is especially important in the delicate structure of flex-tip nano extensions.
However, sourcing authentic 100% Remy human hair is a complex process. It requires the hair to be collected in a manner that maintains its natural direction and quality. Typically, this involves cutting the hair in ponytails to preserve the alignment of the cuticles. Due to the intricate nature of this collection process, the availability of genuine Remy hair is limited. The amount that is made into nano style extensions makes it increasingly rare.
Adding to the challenge, the market often faces issues with misrepresentation. Some sellers falsely label their products as Remy hair, seeking to profit from its high demand and esteemed reputation. This unethical practice not only misleads consumers but also dilutes the market, making it harder to find true Remy hair.
For professionals using flex-tip nano extensions, it is crucial to source Remy hair from reliable and reputable suppliers. By ensuring the use of authentic Remy human hair, you are investing in the quality and longevity of the extensions. This commitment to quality not only enhances your clients' satisfaction but also simplifies maintenance and ensures a more enjoyable experience for both you and your clients.
High-quality Remy hair in flex-tip nano extensions translates to happy clients and a fulfilling career for you as a stylist.
Determining the Quality of Remy Hair in Flex-Tip Nano Extensions
To assess whether your flex-tip nano hair extensions are of high-grade Remy quality, consider these essential characteristics:
- Cuticle Alignment: The hallmark of Remy hair is the uniform direction of its cuticles. This alignment is crucial for minimizing tangles and preserving a natural look and feel. By running your fingers up and down a few strands, you should notice slightly more resistance when moving upwards, indicating proper cuticle alignment.
- Consistency in Texture and Color: Remy hair is distinguished by its uniform texture and color throughout each strand. This consistency reflects the meticulous selection and processing of the hair, ensuring each extension blends seamlessly.
- Softness and Shine: Genuine Remy hair is notably soft and possesses a natural luster, both indicators of its superior quality.
- Minimal Breakage: High-grade Remy hair should exhibit minimal breakage. This resilience is a sign of strong, healthy hair fibers, integral for the durability of flex-tip nano extensions.
- Styling Responsiveness: Like natural hair, quality Remy hair should respond well to styling and heat tools, maintaining its integrity and style.
- The Burn Test: If you think you may have synthetic hair, carefully burn a few strands removed from your extensions bundle. Human hair, including Remy, emits a distinctive sulfurous odor when burned, unlike synthetic fibers.
Remember, the best way to ensure you're getting authentic, high-grade Remy hair in your flex-tip nano extensions is to source them from a reputable and trusted supplier like Doctored Locks. This approach not only guarantees the quality of the hair but also the success and satisfaction of your styling endeavors.
When buying flex-tip nano hair extensions online, ensuring they are high-grade Remy hair involves several important steps:
- Choose a Reputable Seller: Research the seller's reputation in the hair extension industry. A seller known for quality, like Doctored Locks, will provide genuine high-grade products.
- Detailed Product Information: Look for comprehensive product descriptions. Phrases like "Remy," "cuticle-aligned," and other indicators of quality should be clearly mentioned.
- Read Customer Reviews: Customer feedback is invaluable. Pay close attention to comments regarding the texture, durability, and overall quality of the hair extensions.
- Transparent Return Policy: A reliable seller will have a straightforward return policy. This gives you the confidence to purchase, knowing you can return the product if it doesn’t meet your expectations. We have a 30-day hassle-free return policy because we are confident that you will LOVE our products.
- Accessible Customer Support: Exceptional customer support is a sign of a reputable seller. Whether you have questions about hair quality or need advice on installation techniques, responsive and knowledgeable customer support indicates a seller’s commitment to their customers' satisfaction.
- Long-Term User Reviews: Pay special attention to reviews from customers who have used the product for an extended period. These insights can be especially revealing about the long-term quality and durability of the hair extensions. We have users that have had their flex-tip extensions for years and are still loving them.
By following these guidelines, you can significantly increase your chances of purchasing authentic, high-grade Remy hair in your flex-tip nano hair extensions, even when shopping online.
Our flex-tip nano hair extensions, made from high-grade Remy hair, can last up to 12 months or longer with appropriate care and maintenance.
The durability of these extensions is influenced by several factors, including styling habits and the level of care they receive. To maximize their lifespan, it's recommended to practice regular, gentle washing and to minimize the use of excessive heat and pulling - especially at the root area where the tips can become dislodged.
Proper handling and maintenance are key to ensuring your flex-tip nano extensions remain in excellent condition over time.
BUYING FLEX TIP EXTENSIONS ONLINE

- Processing and Source: Look for details about the hair’s processing. Ideally, you want extensions that are minimally processed and naturally treated. Our flex-tip nano extensions undergo a careful, gentle water based treatment process.

WHAT HAPPENS AT EXTENSION APPOINTMENTS?
Absolutely, a consultation for flex-tip nano hair extensions is not just beneficial, but we consider it essential to ensure client satisfaction. Here's what typically happens during such a consultation:
- Understanding Lifestyle and Maintenance: The consultation starts with a conversation about your client's daily routine and how it might affect the extensions. It's crucial for clients to understand the care and maintenance required to keep their extensions in top condition.
- Precise Color Matching: One of the key steps is color matching. This ensures that the extensions blend seamlessly with your client's natural hair, offering an undetectable and natural look.
- Length Determination: Based on your client’s preferences and the desired outcome, you'll decide on the most suitable length of the extensions to achieve the perfect style.
- Volume and Thickness Assessment: Evaluate the natural thickness of your client's hair to determine the right number of flex-tip nano extensions needed for a balanced and full appearance.
- Finalizing the Plan: Conclude the consultation with a signed agreement outlining the plan of action, including the style, length, color, and number of extensions. A deposit is usually taken at this stage to secure the appointment and order the necessary extensions.
This consultation process is designed to be thorough and client-focused, ensuring that every aspect of the flex-tip nano hair extension experience is tailored to meet individual needs and preferences.
For a flex-tip nano hair extension installation appointment, the process is detailed and ensures optimal results.
Here's what it typically involves:
- Completion of Payment and Pre-Installation Photos: At the start of the appointment, finalize any outstanding payments and take 'before' photos of your client's hair. This serves as a reference for the transformation.
- Preparation of Natural Hair: Your client’s hair should be thoroughly washed and dried prior to the appointment. This step is crucial for the nano beads to hold securely to the hair.
- Installation of Flex-Tip Nano Extensions: Begin the installation at the lower sections of the head, near the nape, and gradually work upwards. The flex-tip nano extensions are attached by threading a small section of the client's hair through the nano bead, then inserting the extension tip into the bead and securing it with a special tool.
- Precision Cutting and Blending: After all extensions are in place, they are cut and blended to match the client’s natural hair. This step is essential for achieving a seamless and natural-looking result.
- Final Styling: Style the hair as desired, ensuring that the extensions are fully integrated with the natural hair. This could involve straightening, curling, or adding waves to create a cohesive look.
- Post-Installation Photographs: Capture 'after' photos to document the hair transformation and for your portfolio or client records.
- Post-Appointment Follow-Up: Set a reminder to check in with your client a few days after the appointment. This helps ensure they are comfortable with their new extensions and provides an opportunity to address any concerns they might have.
- Future Appointment Scheduling: Finally, schedule a follow-up appointment for maintenance. This could be for adjustment, tightening, or eventual removal of the extensions, typically around 6 to 8 weeks later.
Each step is carried out with meticulous care to ensure that the client leaves the appointment completely satisfied with their new, beautiful flex-tip nano hair extensions.
For flex-tip nano hair extensions, the frequency of maintenance appointments will vary depending on each client's individual hair growth rate.
Generally, it is recommended to schedule move-up appointments every 6 to 8 weeks. This is because, as natural hair grows – typically around half an inch to an inch per month – the extensions will gradually move further away from the scalp.
If left too long, this can lead to difficulty in styling and discomfort of the extensions. Regular move-ups help ensure the extensions remain undetectable and integrated with the natural hair, maintaining a beautiful, seamless appearance.
Yes! Flex-tip nano hair extensions are fully customizable and can be cut to suit your client's needs.
This adaptability is one of their key advantages. You can trim the extensions to achieve the desired length, ensuring they blend seamlessly with the client's natural hair for a flawless finish.
As a professional stylist, this level of customization allows you to tailor each set of extensions to the specific requirements of each client. This ensures that the final result is not only beautiful but also looks and feels as natural as possible.
Remember, precision in cutting and blending is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the extensions and achieving the most natural-looking results.
Yes, you can color flex-tip nano hair extensions, but it's important to do so with care and consideration.
While it's generally advisable not to lighten (bleach) these extensions, depositing color (darker shades) can be successfully achieved. Here's how to approach it:
- Strand Test: Always start with a strand test. Apply the color to a small swatch of the extensions first. This helps to gauge how the hair takes the color and ensures the final result meets your expectations.
- Color Selection: Choose professional-grade hair dyes that are gentle on the hair. Avoid harsh chemicals as much as possible to maintain the integrity of the extensions.
- Application Care: When applying color, be mindful of the nano bonds. It's important to avoid getting color on the bonds themselves, as this can weaken them or affect their ability to stay attached to the natural hair.
- Aftercare: Post-coloring, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners to maintain the vibrancy of the color and the health of the hair.
Coloring hair extensions can refresh their look and help them blend more seamlessly with your client's natural hair. However, it's crucial to proceed with caution to ensure the longevity and quality of the extensions are not compromised.
Removing flex-tip nano hair extensions requires a careful and precise approach to avoid damaging your client's natural hair. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to safely remove these extensions:
- Preparation: Ensure that the hair is clean, dry, and free from tangles. This makes it easier to access and remove the bonds. It also prepares the hair for storage or reinstallation.
- Sectioning the Hair: Carefully section the hair to expose the beaded row. This allows you to clearly see where each nano bond is located. This aids in systematic and efficient removal.
- Bead Loosening: Using a pair of specialized slotted pliers, gently clamp onto each bead to loosen its grip. This should be done delicately to prevent any pulling or breakage of the natural hair.
- Extension Removal: Once the bead is loosened, slide the extension and bead out from the hair.
- Discussion of Future Hair Plans: If the client is considering reapplying extensions, discuss the best time frame for doing so and any preparations needed for their next appointment.
The process of removing beaded flex tip nano hair extensions must be approached with patience and precision to maintain the integrity of the client's natural hair. Each step should be performed with the utmost care to ensure a comfortable and safe experience for the client.
CARE AND LIFESTYLE
Certainly! Nano hair extensions can be washed and styled like natural hair, offering your clients versatility and ease of maintenance.
It's crucial, however, to educate your clients on the right way to care for extensions:
- Gentle Haircare Products: Recommend sulfate-free and gentle products to ensure the extensions and the client's natural hair remain in top condition. A good choice would be the Amika's Kure line, known for its nurturing properties.
- Washing Technique: Instruct your clients on how to properly wash their hair with extensions. Remind them to be gentle and to avoid scrubbing the beads directly. It's important to wash in a downward motion and to apply conditioner from mid-shaft to ends only.
- Minimize Heat Styling: While nano hair extensions can be heat styled, advise your clients to keep it to a minimum. Excessive heat can shorten the lifespan of the extensions, especially at the root - which can cause the bonds to fail. When heat styling is necessary, recommend using a heat protectant spray or serum, like Amika Glass Action, and keeping styling tools at a lower temperature setting.
- Brushing Method: Recommend a soft bristle brush or a special extension brush to prevent tugging at the roots. Teach them to start detangling from the ends and work their way up to reduce stress on the hair.
- Sleeping Care: Suggest sleeping with hair in a loose braid or ponytail to prevent tangling and matting overnight.
By following these guidelines, your clients can enjoy their nano hair extensions while keeping their natural hair healthy. This approach ensures that the extensions continue to look beautiful and last longer, maintaining their investment.
For maintaining the quality and longevity of flex tip nano hair extensions, we highly recommend specific care products, such as those from the Amika Kure line (not sponsored, we genuinely believe in their effectiveness).
Their products have been time tested for use with high-quality Remy human hair extensions like our flex tip nano extensions.
Key aspects to consider with this product line include:
- Nourishing Ingredients: The Amika Kure line is designed to nourish and protect extensions, addressing common issues such as dryness and tangling.
- Heat Protection: It's crucial to use a heat protectant when styling hair extensions. Amika's Glass Action heat protectant is an excellent choice to shield the hair from potential heat damage, which is especially important for preserving the integrity of nano hair extensions.
- Extension Longevity: Regular use of these products can help maintain the extensions in top condition, making them suitable for multiple installations. This not only keeps the hair looking beautiful but also ensures a better return on investment for your client.
Incorporating Amika Kure products into the care routine for flex tip nano hair extensions can significantly enhance their appearance and durability, giving your clients the best experience.
Of course! Your clients can indeed sleep with their flex tip nano hair extensions without any issues.
To ensure the longevity and maintain the quality of these extensions, here are a few tips you can share with them:
- Dry Hair is Key: Advise your clients to ensure their hair is completely dry before going to bed. Sleeping with wet or damp extensions can lead to tangling and matting.
- Loose Braids or Ponytails: Recommend sleeping with their hair in a loose braid or a gentle ponytail. This helps in minimizing movement during the night and prevents tangling.
- Silk Pillowcases: Suggest using silk or satin pillowcases. These materials are gentler on the hair and can reduce friction, which helps in keeping the extensions smooth and tangle-free.
- Avoid Tight Hairstyles: Caution against tight braids or ponytails as they can put unnecessary stress on the extensions and natural hair, potentially leading to damage.
By following these simple tips, your clients can sleep comfortably with their flex tip nano hair extensions.
Yes, your clients can indeed swim with their flex tip nano hair extensions, but there are several precautions to consider for maintaining their quality:
- Be Aware of Water Quality: Inform them about the potential risks of discoloration or damage from mineral-rich waters, chlorine in pools, and salt in the sea. These elements can affect both the color and condition of the hair extensions.
- Use Protective Products: Recommend applying a leave-in conditioner or a protective hair serum to the extensions before swimming. This creates a barrier and helps protect the hair from harmful elements.
- Tie Up Hair: Advise them to tie their hair up in a bun or a braid to keep it from tangling and to minimize direct exposure to water.
- Be Cautious with Sunscreen and Tanning Oils: Sunscreen and tanning oils can cause build-up and matting in the extensions. It's best to avoid applying these products where hair may come in contact with them.
- Consider a Swim Cap: For those who plan to be fully submerged while swimming, wearing a swim cap can be an effective way to protect the extensions from water exposure.
- Rinse Immediately After Swimming: Suggest rinsing the hair as soon as possible after swimming to remove any chlorine, salt, or other residues.
By following these guidelines, your clients can enjoy swimming without compromising the look and longevity of their flex tip nano hair extensions.
Absolutely, your clients can definitely engage in sports and workout activities while wearing flex tip nano hair extensions. However, there are a few considerations to ensure the extensions maintain their quality:
- Manage Sweat and Oils: It's important to be aware that sweat and natural oils can affect the extensions. These can lead to a build-up that might compromise the hair's appearance and texture over time.
- Secure Hair During Activities: Recommend clients to wear their hair in a ponytail, braid, or bun during physical activities. This not only keeps the hair out of the way but also helps to minimize tangling and contact with sweat.
- Gentle Post-Workout Care: After exercising, they should gently brush and detangle the hair. This step is crucial to prevent matting and maintain the integrity of the extensions.
- Regular Washing: Regular and proper washing post-exercise is also key. This helps to remove sweat and oils and keep the hair fresh. However, it's important to use gentle, extension-safe products like the Amika Kure line.
By following these guidelines, your clients can enjoy an active lifestyle without compromising the health and look of their flex tip nano hair extensions.
