Nano Extension Maintenance - Remove and Refit

What Happens During the Appointment

Your stylist typically works methodically to keep the process organised and avoid missing any sections.

• Extensions are usually removed row by row or bottom to top
• Each nano ring is opened carefully using specialist pliers, never pulled or tugged out
• Natural hair is detangled and cleaned of any shed hair or product build-up
• The same extension strands are reinstalled using new rings, positioned closer to the scalp
• If you have layers or a customised cut, sections may be refitted individually to protect the shape of your style

When to Book This Service

Maintenance timing depends on how quickly your natural hair grows and how the extensions are wearing.

• Most clients book a refit every 6 to 8 weeks, though some stretch to around 12 weeks for a fuller reposition
• The longer bonds are left to grow out, the more tangling and shedding can build up, which makes the appointment slower and more involved
• If you've lost any strands between visits, bring them along so they can potentially be reinstalled

Aftercare and Ongoing Care

Good aftercare between appointments helps keep the installation neat and protects your natural hair.

• Brush gently, working from the ends upward, and avoid rough tugging near the roots
• Stick to your stylist's recommended maintenance schedule so bonds don't grow out too far before your next visit
• If you're also considering a colour refresh alongside your extensions, Timba's colour expert Ceri O'Brien can advise on how colour services fit around your maintenance schedule

This is a maintenance and refit service rather than a full new set, so it suits clients who already wear nano ring extensions and want them kept neat, comfortable and looking their best between fittings.
