Nanogen Fibres

May 29, 2006

Nanogen Fibres or NANOFIBRES are tiny hairs (not real ones) which attatch themselves to your own natural hair using static and a fixing spray.

How does it work?

It's a simple theory with a clever application!
Ever had a razor cut (with the clippers) and noticed all those 1000's of hairs?
Nanofibres are is exactly that - those 1000's of hairs in bottle with added coloured powder.

On shaking the container, those fibres are statically charged so they attach themselves to your existing hair:

The locking mist then seals the new hairs in place.

How does it look?

Although the application can be fiddly, the end result is excellent - the hair looks a lot thicker and the 1000's of baby hairs on the scalp (the blond ones normally invisible) are also covered.

The result is natural looking.

How is it applied?

Use only on dry hair, the container is shaken and then carefully distributed over the whole thinning area.
When you can no longer see any thinning areas, gently rub the hair and scalp to distribute more evenly.

Spray on the mist and you're done!

An application can take as little as 30 secconds - I must admit, I found this very difficult to start with.

What are its faults?

• The technique is very difficult to grasp and I found most of the hair falling on to my forehead - practice is the only way to grasp it.
• It can only be applied to very dry hair which can increase grooming times.
• You cannot wear gel, wax or mud and must wear your hair naturally - not brilliant for guys like me who want funky styles.
• It can come loose with touching and I found many of the fibres ended up on my T-shirt by the end of the day.
• Blending the hairline is very difficult - to this day, I have still not 100% mastered the technique and therefore wearing my hair back away from my face is not possible when using Nanofibres - it's great for my George Clooney hairstyle though.

Where can I get more information?
