How Often Should You Wash Your Hair After Nanoplasty?

After getting a Nanoplasty treatment, one of the most common questions clients ask is, “How often should I wash my hair?” The answer depends on your hair type, scalp condition, and lifestyle—but there are general guidelines that will help you maintain your results for as long as possible.

Nanoplasty works by sealing smoothing agents such as cysteine or glyoxylic acid into the hair using heat. This creates a sleek, frizz-free finish that can last up to 3–6 months—but only if it’s cared for properly. Frequent washing, harsh shampoos, or chemical exposure can break down the treatment prematurely.

1. Wait at least 2–3 days before your first wash

Right after Nanoplasty, your hair needs time to stabilise and fully lock in the smoothing agents. Avoid washing your hair for at least 48–72 hours to ensure the treatment bonds correctly. During this period, also avoid tying your hair, tucking it behind your ears, or using clips that could create dents.

2. Wash 1–2 times per week

To preserve the smoothness and shine, limit washing to no more than twice a week. Each wash gradually removes some of the treatment coating, so the less often you shampoo, the longer your Nanoplasty will last. On non-wash days, you can rinse lightly with water or use a dry shampoo at the roots if needed.

3. Use sulfate-free and salt-free products

Always use shampoos and conditioners that are sulfate- and sodium chloride–free. These harsh detergents strip the hair of natural oils and can shorten the lifespan of your treatment. Instead, look for gentle, pH-balanced formulas that maintain moisture and protect the hair cuticle.

4. Avoid overwashing after workouts

If you exercise regularly, try to rinse with water or just condition the ends instead of a full shampoo every time. Sweat alone doesn’t damage Nanoplasty—but constant shampooing does.

By washing less frequently and choosing the right products, you can keep your Nanoplasty results silky, smooth, and long-lasting.
