Product Description
Nano & Weft Hair Extensions Course Overview
Nano hair extensions is the application method to apply strands of hair using a nanotube locking system. This is the smallest hair extension system available. The Nano-tubes are small rounded tubes which can be silicone lined for added grip and protection and are non-reusable. Nano hair extensions last 3-4 months before needing a re-fit to move them back up the head. Nano-tubes are comfortable to wear and are suitable for all hair types (except very greasy hair). They are available in a variety of shades to match different colours of hair.
Weft hair extensions are a collection of hair strands attached to a cloth strip that can then be sewn into your hair by your hair stylists. They can add length and thickness to the hair, depending on the look your clients are trying to achieve.
