A wider-looking parting, a visible crown or fine areas around the hairline can change how a hairstyle looks. Nanogen Hair Thickening Fibres offer a quick cosmetic way to make existing hair appear fuller and reduce scalp show-through. The result comes from matching the colour and applying the fibres carefully, rather than covering the whole head with a heavy layer.
This guide to the Nanogen collection at BVShop focuses on what shoppers often call hair powder: how the fibres work, which shades suit different hair colours and how to apply them for a softer, more convincing finish. It also explains how Nanogen haircare fits around the application.
What is Nanogen hair powder?
Nanogen Hair Thickening Fibres are tiny coloured keratin fibres that attach to existing hair through an electrostatic charge. Nanogen calls its binding system Kinetic™ Technology. By adding visible density around the strands, the fibres help make the scalp less noticeable through fine or thinning areas.
Although often searched for as hair powder, these are hair-building fibres. They differ from a styling powder used mainly to create grip and lift, and from a dry shampoo designed to absorb oil. Their main job is visual coverage and fuller-looking hair. They do not regrow hair or permanently change its thickness.
Who can benefit from Nanogen thickening fibres?
Fibres can suit women and men who still have hair in the area they want to disguise. Common uses include softening a visible parting, adding density around the crown and finishing a style before work, photographs or an event. They need existing strands to cling to; a completely bare area cannot provide the same foundation.
The practical benefit is control: you can target a small area, build the effect gradually and wash the fibres out with shampoo. A good colour match helps them blend into the hairstyle, while their lightweight format makes them easy to add near the end of a styling routine.
Can Nanogen fibres be used on dry, oily or very fine hair?
Nanogen Hair Thickening Fibres are chosen primarily by hair colour and the presence of existing strands in the area you want to cover. Dry or oily hair describes the hair and scalp condition; completely dry hair describes the required state at application. These are different things. Both women and men should apply the fibres after the hair has dried fully.
Dry hair: prepare the hair without confusing coverage with conditioning
If your hair tends to feel dry, keep your normal cleansing and conditioning routine appropriate to its needs and follow the directions on those products. Rinse out products that require rinsing, then dry and shape the hair before applying fibres. A conditioning step belongs to haircare; the fibres add a fuller-looking finish afterwards.
Nanogen fibres do not moisturise dry lengths or replace a conditioner. With dry or flyaway hair, arrange the style first and use a light, targeted application among the existing strands rather than covering the whole head. Blend gently with your fingertips and avoid repeatedly brushing through the finished coverage. If a leave-in styling product is part of your routine, allow it to dry fully before adding fibres.
Oily roots: start with a clean, fully dry foundation
If the roots look greasy or the hair is separating into oily sections, cleanse the hair as needed before deciding where cosmetic coverage is required. Rinse thoroughly and dry the roots completely. Assess the parting and crown once the hair is clean and styled: fibres should be directed at the areas where the scalp still shows through, rather than used to coat greasy roots.
Hair-building fibres are not an oil-absorbing dry shampoo and do not cleanse the scalp. Adding more fibres is not a substitute for washing when the hair needs it. Avoid applying them over wet gel or other damp styling products, and use shampoo to remove the fibres when you next wash your hair. Choose a cleanser according to your scalp needs and its label directions; a men's or women's product name alone does not establish that it is specifically for oily or dry hair.
Fine or thinning hair: work with the strands that are still present
The most relevant starting point is a sparse-looking area that still contains hair. Nanogen fibres attach to those strands and help reduce the contrast between the hair and the visible scalp. This can be useful for a wider-looking parting, a crown that separates or a finer section around the front. Fine hair can also have dry lengths or oily roots, so the preparation should take both the texture and the scalp condition into account.
Begin with a light layer, blend and inspect the transition into the surrounding hair before adding more. The aim is to make the existing hairstyle look fuller, not to create a solid patch of colour. A completely bare area cannot provide the same attachment points. Fibres conceal the appearance of thinning while worn; they do not treat its cause or regrow hair.
How women and men can conceal the appearance of thinning hair
The fibres are not divided into male and female formulas. Choose the shade by the roots, then adapt the application to the hairstyle and the particular area you want to soften. Hair length, the position of the parting and the distribution of the existing strands matter more to the technique than gender.
For women: a wider parting, visible crown or finer hairline
For a wider-looking parting, first create the parting where you intend to wear it and finish drying and styling. Sprinkle a small amount among the hair beside the visible line, then blend gently with your fingertips. Work along the areas that need coverage instead of creating a continuous heavy stripe. With highlights or balayage, match the roots in this area rather than the lightest lengths.
If you are wearing the hair up, arrange it into its final position before assessing the finer areas at the front or around the temples. Apply sparingly where there are existing hairs and keep the edge soft. For coverage at the back of the crown, use a second mirror to check the distribution. The same approach can be used with a shorter hairstyle: place the hair first, add the fibres selectively and inspect the finish from different angles.
For men: thinning at the crown, a finer top or a receding front
For a visible crown, dry the hair fully and arrange the surrounding strands into the style you normally wear. Add a light layer among the existing hairs where the scalp shows through, blend and use another mirror to inspect the back. With a finer-looking top, work in small areas so that the density looks consistent with the sides and the rest of the hairstyle.
At a receding front, keep the application within areas that still have hair. Use a restrained amount and soften the transition with your fingertips; do not try to draw a new straight hairline across bare skin. A short haircut can be assessed in the same way, but the result depends on the hair available for the fibres to attach to. Finish heat styling beforehand and use an appropriate fixing product afterwards according to its directions.
Nanogen shades explained: which colour suits your hair?
Match the hair close to the roots in the area you plan to cover. With highlighted lengths and darker roots, matching the brightest ends can leave the covered area looking too pale. Check the match in natural daylight as well as under indoor lighting. Shade names describe colour families; they are not an exact match to every salon colour number.
Nanogen Hair Thickening Fibre Black
Black is intended for jet-black hair. It is the darkest choice and works best when the roots already have that depth. If your hair is dark brown rather than black, using Black merely to create stronger coverage can make the covered section look too dark. Depth should come from an appropriate shade and gradual application.
The main visual advantage of a close black match is continuity: the fine area can look more connected to the darker hair around it. This can be especially useful at the crown, where a lighter scalp may show through between dark strands, or beside a parting that looks wider under overhead lighting. The fibres add the appearance of density to the hair already there; they do not need to form an opaque coating over the skin.
For application, dry and arrange the hair first, then lightly sprinkle Black into the existing strands in the area that needs attention. Blend with your fingertips and inspect the boundary against the surrounding hair before adding another layer. Be particularly restrained near the forehead, where a concentrated dark edge is easier to notice. If your hair includes a substantial amount of silver, assess the mixed colour rather than automatically selecting Black because some strands are dark.
Dark Brown
Dark Brown is intended for the darkest brown hair. It bridges the gap between jet black and mid-brown, making it a relevant reference for deep brunette roots. It should blend into the existing dark strands rather than create a black-looking patch. Choose the shade by the hair itself, even when the scalp beneath it looks much lighter.
This shade is worth considering when your hair looks almost black indoors but shows a recognisable brown tone in daylight. That distinction matters around the parting and hairline: a fibre that is too dark can create an obvious contrast even when the amount applied is small. A suitable deep-brown match helps preserve the warmth or softness of brunette hair while reducing the visual contrast between the scalp and the strands.
Judge the colour where you intend to use it, rather than against a dark ponytail or the underside of the hair alone. After styling and drying, apply a fine layer among the roots, distribute it gently and check the crown from another angle. If the finished area appears darker than the surrounding hair, adding more is unlikely to improve the match. Reassess the shade or use the manufacturer's darker-first, lighter-second blending method with colours that are genuinely close to your hair.
Nanogen Hair Thickening Fibre Medium Brown
Medium Brown suits mid-brown tones. It is a useful starting point for brown hair that is neither very dark nor close to blonde. Look at the crown and parting separately: lighter lengths do not automatically mean that the roots need a lighter fibre. Apply a light layer first to assess how the shade blends.
For a person with an everyday mid-brown hairstyle, the benefit is being able to refine a sparse-looking section without changing the colour impression of the whole head. It can be useful beside a parting that opens up after brushing or over a crown where the hair separates. Medium Brown should become part of the surrounding brunette colour, allowing the hairstyle to retain its natural changes in light rather than look like one flat block.
Begin with the hairstyle already in place, sprinkle sparingly into the finer area and pat gently to blend. Look at the transition into the adjacent hair, not just at how much scalp remains visible. If the roots are noticeably lighter, Light Brown may be a closer reference; if they are much deeper, compare with Dark Brown. For brown hair that includes grey, check whether a suitable grey shade needs to be layered into the result instead of covering all the silver with brown.
Light Brown
Light Brown is designed for lighter brown through to very dark blonde hair. It can be relevant when Medium Brown appears too deep but a golden blonde shade does not reflect the roots. Compare the overall darkness and undertone together: a lighter brunette and a warm dark blonde can have similar depth but look different in daylight.
The advantage of Light Brown is its position between deeper brunette and blonde shades. It can help someone with lighter brunette roots avoid the heavier colour impression of a mid-brown fibre, while retaining more brown depth than a blonde option. This is relevant to naturally light-brown hair and to colour-treated lengths whose roots sit between familiar shade labels. It should still be selected by the actual application area, rather than by the name used for a hair colour appointment.
Once the hair is dry, test the visual match with a light application near the parting and blend before expanding to the crown. If the roots look distinctly honey-gold, compare the overall effect with Dark Blonde; if they look more clearly mid-brown, assess Medium Brown. The aim is a believable connection between the fibres and existing strands. Avoid compensating for the wrong undertone by applying a dense layer, because extra coverage cannot correct a colour mismatch.
Nanogen Hair Thickening Fibre Dark Blonde
Dark Blonde is a rich honey shade intended for warm, dark blonde hair. It is particularly relevant when the roots have a golden warmth rather than an ash-brown appearance. It is deeper than Light Blonde, so it should not be chosen simply because the ends are blonde. Focus on the colour of the hair where the fibres will sit.
Dark Blonde can be a useful option for hair that is described as golden or honey blonde but has more depth at the roots than at the ends. The benefit of choosing that warmth deliberately is a more coherent result through the parting: the covered section can remain in the same colour family as the rest of the hair. A neutral brown with a similar darkness may still look different, so compare warmth as carefully as depth.
Apply after drying and arranging the hair, targeting the fine strands around the visible parting or crown. Blend the first layer and check the match in daylight before building coverage. With highlights, avoid spreading the same depth indiscriminately over the lightest lengths; concentrate on the area whose roots you matched. If the root colour is much paler and sandier, Light Blonde may be more appropriate, while roots with a stronger brown character may point towards Light Brown.
Nanogen Hair Thickening Fibres Light Blonde
Light Blonde has a lighter, sandy tone for very blonde hair. It suits a much lighter starting point than Dark Blonde. If your hair has light highlights but noticeably darker roots, this shade may be too light for root coverage on its own. White is a separate choice for white-grey hair, rather than a universal substitute for pale blonde.
On lighter hair, the goal is often a subtle increase in visible density rather than a dramatic darkening of the roots. A suitable sandy-blonde match can help a fine parting or crown look more integrated with the surrounding blonde strands. This is useful when preparing a loose everyday style or finishing hair for photographs, provided there is existing hair for the fibres to attach to. The shade should support the hair's light appearance rather than imitate darker roots.
Work on fully dry hair and begin with a thin application in the area where the scalp is most noticeable. Blend gently, then inspect both the colour and the texture before applying more. If the hair has a darker root shadow, assess that area separately instead of assuming one light shade will suit the entire head. For predominantly white-grey roots, compare with White; sandy blonde and white-grey are different colour families, even when both appear very light.
Nanogen Hair Thickening Fibre Auburn
Auburn is medium brown with a touch of red, intended for dark redheads and auburn hair. It suits a deeper red-brown colour family, where a neutral brown could look too flat. Compare it with Cinnamon if your red hair is lighter: Auburn brings more depth, while Cinnamon is based on a lighter brown.
Auburn is particularly relevant when the richness of the hair comes from a visible red-brown tone. A standard brown match may have a similar darkness but miss that warmth, leaving the covered section looking disconnected from the lengths. Choosing a red-toned fibre gives the finer area a better opportunity to sit within the same colour family. This can matter around a parting, where surrounding auburn strands make a neutral or overly dark patch easier to spot.
Apply a fine layer to dry, styled hair and blend among the existing strands before deciding whether more is needed. Check the result in daylight, where red tones can be easier to compare than under warm indoor lighting. For a lighter, softer redhead colour, compare Cinnamon rather than increasing the amount of Auburn. If your hair changes in depth between the roots and lengths, match the roots and keep the application local instead of trying to recolour the whole hairstyle with fibres.
Nanogen Hair Thickening Fibre Cinnamon
Cinnamon is light brown with a touch of red, designed for lighter redhead shades. It is the lighter red-toned option to consider beside Auburn. Choose it for a root colour that combines light brown depth with visible reddish warmth, rather than treating it as a general choice for every warm brunette.
The reason to choose Cinnamon is the combination of lighter depth and red warmth. Someone with a lighter red-brown root colour may find a deeper auburn shade visually too heavy, even if both belong to the red family. Cinnamon provides a different starting point for that match. Its practical role is to help the finer section blend into the surrounding warm strands while maintaining the lighter overall character of the hairstyle.
After the hair is completely dry, sprinkle lightly into the parting or another fine area, then gently pat to distribute. Inspect the transition into the surrounding hair before adding another layer, especially at the front. If the roots are richer and deeper red-brown, Auburn may be a better comparison; if they are golden without a distinct red tone, consider the blonde or brown families instead. With multitone hair, carefully layering two close shades may be more useful than applying Cinnamon heavily everywhere.
Nanogen Hair Thickening Fibre Grey
Grey is the darker grey shade, suitable for silver tones and for blending with other colours. It can be useful when the hair contains both darker strands and visible silver. The aim is to preserve the character of the existing grey hair, rather than making the whole covered area look uniformly brown or black.
Grey can be particularly helpful for a silver or mixed-grey hairstyle where the aim is a fuller appearance while keeping the grey visible. Covering that area entirely with a brunette or black fibre could change the character of the colour. A suitable grey match allows the cosmetic coverage to work with the silver strands instead. It can be relevant around the crown or a parting where the existing hair contains a mixture of depths.
Start with a light application on dry, styled hair and assess the result against the strands immediately beside it. If the roots are predominantly white rather than darker silver, compare White before adding more Grey. For hair with both dark and grey strands, shade blending can help preserve the mixed appearance: apply the appropriate darker base sparingly, then layer the suitable lighter shade and blend with your fingers. The balance should reflect your existing hair rather than produce a uniform grey patch.
Nanogen Hair Thickening Fibres White
White is intended for white-grey hair and can also be blended with other shades. It is the relevant starting point when the hair in the application area is predominantly white. Grey and White serve different levels of depth; compare the roots in daylight so that the finished area does not look unexpectedly dark or pale.
White gives people with predominantly white-grey hair a way to consider cosmetic density without deliberately adding a darker root colour. It can be useful where fine white strands separate at the parting or crown and the desired finish is still light. Its purpose remains the same as the other Nanogen fibres: to attach to existing hair and improve the appearance of fullness. It is not a bleaching powder or a permanent colour treatment.
Apply sparingly to completely dry hair, blend gently and check the area from more than one angle. With very light hair, inspect how evenly the fibres sit among the strands as well as how the colour looks; a heavier layer is not automatically a more natural one. If there is a noticeable mixture of darker silver and white, compare Grey or layer appropriate shades carefully. For pale blonde hair that still has a sandy colour, assess Light Blonde rather than choosing White solely because it is the lightest-sounding name.
Nanogen hair fibre shade comparison
Use this comparison to narrow down the colour family after reading the individual shade descriptions. Match the roots in the area you want to cover, then compare depth and warmth in daylight.
| Shade | Closest starting match | Colour character | Key comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black | Jet-black roots | The darkest option | Dark Brown if the hair shows a brown tone in daylight |
| Dark Brown | Very dark brown roots | Deep brunette | Black for jet-black hair; Medium Brown for a lighter brunette |
| Medium Brown | Mid-brown roots | Medium brunette depth | Dark Brown for deeper roots; Light Brown for lighter roots |
| Light Brown | Light brown to very dark blonde roots | Lighter brunette depth | Dark Blonde when the roots have a distinct honey warmth |
| Dark Blonde | Warm, dark blonde roots | Rich honey tone | Light Blonde for a paler sandy blonde; Light Brown for browner roots |
| Light Blonde | Very blonde roots | Light sandy tone | Dark Blonde for deeper golden roots; White for white-grey hair |
| Auburn | Dark redhead or auburn roots | Medium brown with a touch of red | Cinnamon for a lighter redhead shade |
| Cinnamon | Lighter redhead roots | Light brown with a touch of red | Auburn for a deeper red-brown colour |
| Grey | Darker grey or silver hair | Deeper grey | White when the application area is predominantly white-grey |
| White | Predominantly white-grey hair | White-grey | Grey for darker silver; Light Blonde for sandy blonde |
Choosing between shades and blending colours
Start with root colour, then assess depth and warmth. Black and Dark Brown belong to the darkest end; Medium Brown and Light Brown cover lighter brunette families. Dark Blonde has honey warmth, while Light Blonde has a lighter sandy tone. Auburn and Cinnamon add red tones at different depths, and Grey and White cater for silver and white-grey hair.
If you are genuinely between shades, Nanogen recommends the darker option. This means the closer of two plausible matches, not choosing a dramatically darker colour for extra coverage. For highlighted, mixed-grey or hard-to-match hair, combining shades may give a softer result than applying one colour heavily.
When blending, apply a thin layer of the darker shade first and gently distribute it. Add the lighter shade over it, then blend lightly with your fingers. Build slowly and recheck in daylight. This layered approach lets the colours sit together naturally without premixing them in a container.
How to use Nanogen hair fibres step by step
1. Begin with completely dry hair
Wash and dry your hair as needed, then make sure the roots and application area are fully dry. Moisture can cause the fibres to gather unevenly. If you use a leave-in styling product, allow it to dry before adding fibres. Do not sprinkle them over wet gel or a damp scalp.
2. Finish shaping and heat styling first
Create your parting and arrange the hair into the style you want to wear. Finish blow-drying, straightening or curling before applying the fibres. Save the final fixing spray until after the fibres. If you use other styling products first, let them dry fully before application.
3. Sprinkle lightly over the area that needs coverage
Keep the application controlled and let the fibres fall onto the existing hair. Start with the visible parting or crown rather than scattering them everywhere. Use a light first layer, check the result, then add more only where the scalp still shows. Too much product at once makes even distribution harder.
4. Blend gently with your fingertips
Lightly pat or blend the fibres with your fingers to help them settle among the strands. Avoid rubbing firmly against the scalp. The aim is an even transition between the covered section and the surrounding hair, not a dense, sharply edged patch of colour.
5. Keep the hairline soft
At the front, work sparingly among the existing hairs and check the edge in a mirror. A heavy, straight band tends to draw attention to the application. Remove any stray fibres from the forehead and compare the front with the rest of the hairstyle before building further coverage.
6. Recheck the crown and colour
Use another mirror to inspect the crown and look at the hairstyle in daylight if possible. Check for clumps, a visibly darker section or product sitting on exposed skin. Correct the distribution before adding another layer. Good blending is more important than making every trace of scalp disappear.
7. Finish with the appropriate fixing product
Nanogen recommends its Hair Fibre Locking Spray after application for improved hold and resistance to wind and rain. Follow the directions on the fixing product you use. A root-lifting spray has a different role and should not be assumed to provide the same fibre-locking performance. Fibres alone should not be treated as waterproof.
8. Remove with shampoo
Wash the fibres out with shampoo when you cleanse your hair. Keep the container closed and dry between applications. If you brush vigorously after applying, some fibres may come away; complete most brushing beforehand and make small adjustments gently with your fingers.
Common application mistakes
The most common problems are using damp hair, choosing a shade by the ends rather than the roots, applying too much at once and trying to fill a completely bare area. Heavy brushing, rubbing or adding wet styling products afterwards can also disturb the finish. If the result looks powdery or patchy, check the shade and technique before adding more.
Where Nanogen shampoos fit into the routine
Haircare and fibres perform different jobs. Shampoo cleanses the hair and removes the fibres; the fibres provide targeted cosmetic coverage after drying and styling. Neither step needs to be overloaded to create a useful routine.
Nanogen Thickening Shampoo for Women
This shampoo is designed for fine or thinning hair and provides a cleansing step before styling. It is a practical option for someone who wants to wash out yesterday's fibres and begin again with clean hair. Rinse thoroughly, dry the roots fully and shape the hairstyle before reapplying fibres.
The distinction from the fibres is important when deciding what you want from the product. Shampoo belongs to the washing stage and is spread through wet hair before rinsing; it does not place coloured coverage along a parting. The fibres are the targeted finishing step after the hair is dry. Choosing both can make sense when you want a consistent cleansing routine as well as the option to disguise a particular fine area on styling days.
Use the shampoo according to the instructions on the bottle, work it through wet hair and rinse thoroughly. Give the roots time to dry fully before applying fibres, including areas at the crown that may stay damp longer than the lengths. For example, after a morning wash, finish drying and shaping the hair first, then inspect the parting and add fibres only where useful. This keeps cleansing, styling and cosmetic coverage in a clear sequence without treating the shampoo as a hair-regrowth treatment.
Nanogen Shampoo Luxe for Women
The Luxe shampoo combines cleansing with light conditioning for a softer hair feel. It can suit a routine where fine hair needs both cleansing and some conditioning without relying on a heavy finish. After washing, allow the hair to dry completely before assessing where extra visual density is needed.
The distinguishing point is that light conditioning is built into the cleansing experience. This is relevant when you want the hair to feel softer after washing but are also mindful of the way a fine hairstyle falls around the roots. Its role is broader than hiding a single sparse-looking patch: it prepares the hair for the style as a whole. Fibres can then be reserved for the small areas where the finished hairstyle still needs extra visual density.
Use and rinse the shampoo in line with the bottle directions, then dry and arrange the hair as usual. Assess the result once it is dry rather than deciding on fibre coverage while the strands are still clinging together with moisture. A practical occasion is a wash before wearing the hair loose, when you want both a comfortable hair feel and a more balanced-looking parting. Apply fibres afterwards only where needed; the Luxe format does not replace a colour-matched fibre or a suitable final fixing product.
Nanogen Shampoo & Half-Conditioner for Men
This product combines shampoo with light conditioning in one washing step. It offers a straightforward option for preparing fine or thinning hair before styling. Its place is at the start of the routine: cleanse, rinse, dry and style, then apply fibres to the areas that need a fuller-looking finish.
The half-conditioner format is intended to combine cleansing with a lighter conditioning step, which makes it distinct from using a shampoo solely as a cleanser. It can appeal to someone who prefers a straightforward washing routine before arranging a short or medium-length hairstyle. The benefit in a fibre routine is preparation: you start again with clean hair, then decide where extra cosmetic density will make a difference, rather than layering new fibres over yesterday's uneven application.
Work through wet hair and rinse according to the product instructions, then dry the scalp area and roots thoroughly. Shape the hairstyle before applying fibres, whether the target is a crown that separates or a finer-looking front section with existing strands. On a day when you do not want cosmetic coverage, the shampoo still serves its normal cleansing and conditioning role. When you do use fibres, remember that this washing product does not fix them in place or provide the hold of a fibre-locking spray.
Comparing Nanogen shampoos for your routine
These products belong to the cleansing stage. Choose the format that fits your preferred washing routine; use colour-matched fibres separately when you want targeted coverage after drying and styling.
| Product | Format | When to consider it | Place in a fibre routine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nanogen Thickening Shampoo for Women | Cleansing shampoo for fine or thinning hair | When you want a cleansing step before styling | Wash out the fibres, rinse, then dry and style before reapplying |
| Nanogen Shampoo Luxe for Women | Cleansing with light conditioning | When you want cleansing and a softer hair feel in the same step | Rinse and dry fully, then assess where extra visual density is needed |
| Nanogen Shampoo & Half-Conditioner for Men | Shampoo combined with light conditioning | When you prefer a straightforward combined washing step | Cleanse, rinse, dry and shape the hairstyle before adding fibres |
Shampoo does not replace a colour-matched fibre or a fibre-locking spray. Its role is to cleanse the hair and prepare it for the next styling steps.
Frequently asked questions
Is Nanogen hair powder the same as a volumising styling powder?
No. Nanogen Hair Thickening Fibres are coloured keratin fibres for fuller-looking hair and reduced scalp visibility. A styling powder mainly adds texture and grip. Check the product name and purpose rather than relying on the word powder alone.
Can women and men use the same fibre shade?
Yes. Choose fibres according to the hair colour and the area being covered, rather than gender. Root depth, undertone and the presence of grey are the useful starting points.
Will the fibres work on a completely bald patch?
They need existing hair to attach to. Fine strands can provide a foundation, but an area with no hair cannot give the same result. Fibres create a cosmetic change and do not restart hair growth.
Which shade should I choose for highlights or darker roots?
Match the roots in the application area rather than the lightest highlights at the ends. If the hair contains several tones, careful layering of two suitable shades may give a more balanced finish than a heavy application of one.
Can I use a hairdryer or brush after applying fibres?
Finish heat styling and most brushing before application. Brushing afterwards may remove fibres, so make small adjustments with your fingers or, if needed, a wide-tooth comb. The manufacturer's preferred sequence is style first, then add and blend the fibres.
Are Nanogen fibres waterproof?
Do not rely on fibres alone for waterproof coverage. Nanogen recommends Hair Fibre Locking Spray to improve hold and water resistance. Water exposure, rubbing and the way the product is applied can affect the finish, so follow the relevant product directions.
How do I wash the fibres out?
Remove them with shampoo during normal washing. Rinse thoroughly and dry the hair completely before a fresh application. There is no need to keep adding new layers over an uneven finish.
What should I keep in mind when applying them?
Use externally and avoid the eyes and inhaling the fibres. Sprinkle gently instead of creating a cloud of product. Follow the packaging instructions and stop using the product if irritation occurs.
