Nanoplastia Hair Treatment: The Future of Smoothing, Strengthening & Shine
In the ever-evolving world of professional hair treatments, the pursuit of luscious, frizz-free locks has led to various groundbreaking treatments. Among these, Nanoplastia has emerged as a revolutionary solution for those seeking smooth, silky, and healthier hair—without the harsh side effects of traditional straightening techniques. With increased consumer demand for formaldehyde-free, repair-focused, and long-lasting treatments, Nanoplastia represents the next generation in salon technology. Whether you’re a salon professional, haircare brand, or simply someone exploring safer hair-smoothing options, this blog post will walk you through everything about Nanoplastia.
A Brief History: From Chemical Straightening to Nanoplastia
Hair straightening treatments have been around for many decades. The early 2000s saw a boom in chemical relaxers and rebonding systems, which altered the hair’s structure permanently using strong alkaline agents. But in reality they often left the hair dry, brittle, and prone to breakage.
Later, keratin treatments gained popularity as a semi-permanent option. These smoothed the hair and reduced frizz, but many formulations contain formaldehyde or its derivatives—raising health concerns for both clients and stylists due to the release of toxic fumes during heat application.
In response, the industry began shifting toward cleaner, safer innovations—leading to the birth of Nanoplastia in Brazil, where it does its job without using strong chemicals. This made it the go-to choice for those who want to improve their hair without the harshness associated with traditional treatments.
Brazilian cosmetic chemists introduced Nanoplastia Hair Treatment that could straighten, repair, and deeply nourish hair using nanotechnology and organic acids—without altering the hair’s internal bonds harshly.
This innovation sparked a global shift in how salons approach hair health, placing repair and safety at the forefront of smoothing treatments. Now, brands and professionals alike are looking to bring this advanced solution to their customers.

Whether you’re building a salon-exclusive range or a consumer-friendly product, Herb Elementz can help you develop a clean, science-backed solution that stands out.
Nanoplastia is a cutting-edge hair treatment that uses nanotechnology to deliver active ingredients deep into the hair shaft to transform the structure of hair, leaving it smooth, shiny, and frizz-free, repairing and restructuring hair from the inside out. Unlike traditional straightening treatments that break and restructure disulfide bonds, Nanoplastia infuses each hair strand with repair-focused ingredients, like nanoparticles, amino acids, organic acids, plant proteins, and collagen, to penetrate deeply and focus on delivering nutrients, ensuring hair remains healthy, soft, and manageable for extended periods.
It’s formaldehyde-free, does not release toxic fumes, and provides a smoother, shinier, and healthier appearance without compromising hair integrity.
The Science Behind It: Nano + Plasticity
- Nano-technology refers to particles that are 100–1000 times smaller than a typical ingredient molecule. These tiny actives penetrate the hair cortex more deeply than conventional treatments, ensuring maximum absorption and efficacy.
- “Plastia” comes from the Greek word “plassein,” meaning “to shape or mold.” Nanoplastia, therefore, is the reshaping of hair using nano-sized actives rather than heat and chemical restructuring.
Key Ingredients Often Found in Nanoplastia:
- Amino Acids (e.g., glycine, cysteine, arginine)
- Plant-based Keratin
- Organic Acids (e.g., lactic acid, glycolic acid)
- Collagen and Elastin
- Natural Oils (argan, macadamia, coconut)
- Hydrolyzed Proteins
These ingredients restore elasticity, repair split ends, seal the cuticle, and leave hair soft and manageable.
Benefits of Nanoplastia Hair Treatment
Formaldehyde-Free & Safe
Unlike keratin and rebonding treatments, Nanoplastia is free from formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, or any harsh fumes—making it safer for stylists and clients.
Repairs & Smoothes Simultaneously
It not only reduces frizz and adds shine but also heals damaged hair from within, improving texture over time.
Long-Lasting Results
Depending on aftercare, the effects can last 3 to 6 months.
Suitable for All Hair Types
From curly and coily to bleached or chemically treated hair—Nanoplastia adapts without causing damage.
Minimal Downtime
Many formulas allow hair to be washed within 24–48 hours—or even the same day.
No Harsh Odors
Since no toxic chemicals are involved, the treatment doesn’t cause irritation or burning eyes.
Cleansing
The treatment begins with a deep cleanse using a clarifying shampoo, which removes all product residue, oil, and buildup from the scalp and hair shaft. This step is crucial to ensure the hair cuticle is fully open, allowing for maximum penetration of the active ingredients in the Nanoplastia formula. Hair is then towel-dried until slightly damp before application.Product Application
The Nanoplastia treatment (usually a cream or serum consistency) is applied section by section across the entire head. Each strand is saturated thoroughly, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends, which are typically more damaged. The product is left on for 30–60 minutes, depending on the hair type, texture, and the specific formula being used. This allows the nano-sized ingredients like amino acids, organic acids, and plant keratin to absorb deeply into the cortex and start the repair and smoothing process.Blow-Drying
After the product has processed, the hair is blow-dried completely without rinsing. This step helps in activating the treatment and preparing the hair for the sealing process. Heat from the blow dryer encourages the cuticle to close partially around the actives, locking in nutrients and starting the alignment process.Flat Ironing
Once the hair is dry, it is flat-ironed at high temperatures (usually between 180–230°C / 356–446°F) in thin sections. This is a key step where the heat works to seal the treatment into the hair shaft, restructure the cuticle alignment, and lock in smoothness and shine. The number of passes with the iron depends on hair thickness and texture—finer hair needs fewer passes, while coarse curls may need more.Rinse + Final Styling
Depending on the formula, the hair may be rinsed after ironing (especially with organic or rinse-out versions), followed by a light conditioner or mask. After rinsing (if required), hair is styled as usual. The result is sleek, frizz-free, and glossy hair that feels healthy, soft, and weightless.
