How Long Do Nano Mousse Results Last?

With proper salon application and the right home routine, Nano Mousse results can last approximately 12–16 weeks. Longevity depends on hair type, shampoo frequency, aftercare, and heat tools used at home.

Recommend Nano Lamination aftercare to help keep the hair smooth, shiny, and frizz-free longer.

03

Can We Use Nano Mousse on Curly Hair?

Yes, but curls can open and relax a little. Nano Mousse reduces frizz and makes styling easier, but the curl pattern will not stay exactly the same.

If the client wants to keep their curls exactly the same, I.Smooth may be the better option.
Nano Mousse on relaxed hair, perms, or previous keratin
04

Can We Use It on Relaxed Hair, Perms, or Previous Keratin?

Yes. Nano Mousse can work over most previous chemical services as long as the hair is in good condition. Always do a consultation and strand test, and use moderate heat and controlled passes to avoid over-processing already treated hair.

Step 5

Blow-Dry + Flat Iron

Blow-dry smooth and make sure the hair is 100% dry before flat ironing. Use lower temperature or fewer passes when needed, depending on the hair condition.

How Dry Should the Hair Be Before Applying Nano Mousse?

The level of dryness before application depends on the client’s hair type, color history, and condition.

Towel-Dry

Thin, Dark, Thick, or Natural Hair

Remove excess water with a towel before applying Nano Mousse. The hair should be damp, not dripping wet.

20% Dry

Highlighted Hair

Lightly dry the hair before application. This helps the treatment distribute more evenly through highlighted areas.

80% Dry

Bleached, Dry, or Fragile Hair

Dry the hair about 80% before application to protect the hair and control product saturation.

Pro Tip

Always use gloves during application. Work in small sections for even distribution. Proper preparation, timing, and technique are the keys to long-lasting, silky, frizz-free results.

Virgin Hair Prep

Can We Apply Nano Mousse on Virgin Hair?

Yes. Nano Mousse can be applied on virgin hair, but virgin hair usually has a more closed cuticle. The hair may need extra prep before applying the treatment.

Option 1

With 20 Volume

This option can be used when the hair is resistant, very natural, or harder to open.

Apply 20 volume developer on the hair.
Leave on for about 15 minutes.
Rinse well, then shampoo once with clarifying shampoo.
Option 2

Without 20 Volume

This option can be used when you prefer a gentler prep before applying Nano Mousse.

Shampoo the hair once with clarifying shampoo.
Apply clarifying shampoo a second time and comb through.
Leave on for 15–20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Stylist Note

Choose the prep method based on the client’s hair resistance, condition, porosity, and professional judgment. The goal is to gently prepare the cuticle so Nano Mousse can work evenly.

Hair Extensions Guide

Nano Mousse + Hair Extensions

Follow these guidelines when working with human-hair extensions or when installing extensions after Nano Mousse.

Existing Extensions

Can I Apply Nano Mousse on Hair With Extensions?

Yes. Nano Mousse can be applied on hair that already has human-hair extensions, including tapes, keratin tips, sew-ins, and similar methods.

Apply mainly on the mid-lengths and ends.
Keep the product away from the actual bonds, glue, tapes, rings, or attachment areas.
When flat ironing, work in small sections and stop before the bonds. Do not run the iron directly over tapes, keratin tips, or rings.
Same-Day Install

Can I Install Extensions After Nano Mousse the Same Day?

Yes. Hair extensions can be installed on the same day after the Nano Mousse treatment is fully completed.

Keep Nano Mousse about 1 inch / 2 cm away from the roots.
Make sure the area where the extensions will sit stays product-free.
After the treatment is finished, the hair must be 100% dry and smooth before installing extensions.
Stylist Note

Product or residue near the attachment area can cause tapes, keratin tips, rings, or bonds to slip. Keep the attachment area clean and product-free for the best hold.

Aftercare + First Wash

How to Maintain Nano Mousse Results

Proper aftercare helps maintain smoother, shinier, frizz-free results and supports the full 12–16 week longevity.

Swipe to view aftercare instructions →
First Wash

When Can the Client Wash the Hair?

Shampoo + Conditioner

Recommended Aftercare

Recommend Nano Lamination Treatment Care Shampoo and Treatment Care Conditioner to help maintain smoothness, shine, and frizz control.

Avoid harsh or strong cleansing products.

What Should the Client Avoid?

Avoid clarifying shampoo, strong cleansing products, salt water, chlorine, and heavy oils during the first days after treatment.

Keep the hair routine gentle.
Stylist Note

The final longevity depends on the salon application, flat iron technique, and the client’s home routine. Explain the aftercare before the client leaves the salon so they know how to protect their Nano Mousse results.
