How Soon Can I Oil My Hair after Nanoplastia Treatment at home?
Have you recently had a nanoplastia treatment? Now you want to know when I can apply oil to my hair after the treatment. I understand this question arises in everybody’s mind, as oil protects our hair from drying out.
Let’s understand: what is nanoplastia treatment?
If you have frizzy and tangled hair, then nanoplastia is the right treatment for your hair. In Nanoplastia treatment, it goes inside the hair cuticles and repairs them, making our hair smooth, soft, and shiny. It doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals like formaldehyde. However, to ensure long-lasting results, you have to strictly adhere to the aftercare guidelines.
Now you want to know how soon I can apply oil to my hair after nanoplastia treatment.
Short Answer – After 7 to 10 days from the treatment done. This is because, during this period, treatment takes time to settle nanoplastia into hair cuticles. Furthermore, the best time to apply oil to your hair after nanoplastia is after 15 days.
Why can’t I apply oil to my hair right after the nanoplastia?
When you get Nanoplatia treatment, it takes some time to settle into your hair cuticles, specifically 7 to 10 days. During this time, keratin and protein settle into the inner layer of your hair. This period is crucial, and you should do nothing except wait.
If you apply oil, then it penetrates between these layers and weakens the bonding. As a result, your hair soon becomes just as frizzy and dry as it was before the treatment.
You can think of oil as glue that weakens the smoothing effect of the treatment. Therefore, you should avoid oil for at least the first 10 days following the treatment.
When is it safe to apply oil after the treatment?
Below is a simple timeline you should follow after the treatment.
First 3 days: Do not apply anything to the hair. No oil, no water. Absolutely Nothing.
4 to 8 days: Use a dry shampoo, but do not apply any oil.
8 to 10 days: You may now apply light oils, such as argan or jojoba oil.
After 14 days: You may now apply normal oil, such as almond oil or coconut oil, to the entire hair
Stylist advice—One of my clients applied oil just on the 4th day without asking me, and her hair’s smoothness vanished within 10 days. So waiting is the wisest decision.
Expert’s Tips: how to apply oil after nanoplastia
- Always choose light oil: Use light oils like jojoba, rosemary, or argan oil instead of heavy oils like castor oil
- Don’t leave overnight: When you apply oil, wash it off with a mild shampoo after 1-2 hours. Leaving the oil overnight can ruin the nanoplastia’s smoothing effect.
- Use lukewarm oil: slightly warm oil works more effectively on the hair and does not damage the treatment.
Mistakes you should avoid after the nanoplastia treatment
- Don’t use a hair dryer or tie your hair after applying oil.
- Don’t use heavy or adulterated oil. Always opt for light oils like jojoba or argan oil and buy from reputed brands only.
- Don’t apply too much oil, as it causes the hair cuticles to open up and ruin the treatment
FAQs about oiling hair after nanoplastia
- Can I apply oil after 4 days of nanoplastia?
No, applying oil just 5 days after the nanoplastia would be too soon. Wait at least 8 to 10 days. Applying oil before this could reverse the smoothing effect of the treatment.
- Is it safe to use coconut oil after treatment?
Yes, but after 15 days and only in a small quantity, as coconut oil is heavy and even after the 15 days can damage the treatment.
- Is it ok to apply oil directly to the scalp?
No, avoid applying oil to the scalp as it penetrates deep into the entire length of the hair shaft, which can disrupt the bonding created by the nanoplastia. Therefore, apply oil only to the ends of your hair.
- What should I do if I accidentally apply oil?
Immediately wash your hair with mild, sulfate-free shampoo. Shampoo twice, and then apply conditioner. Hopefully, the treatment will remain intact.
- Can I use serum or a hair mask after the nanoplastia treatment?
Yes, but make sure the serum or hair mask is chemical-free. Avoid oil-based hair masks. It is best to consult a stylist or a doctor for advice.
Conclusion
Wait for the right time, then apply oil
Nanoplastia treatment makes your hair shiny and smooth and keeps it straight for 4 to 6 months, provided you take proper care of it during the initial 15 days.
Don’t rush to apply oil. Give your hair enough time to let the smoothing treatment set properly. Remember – good things come to those who wait for the right time.
If you recently had nanoplastia treatment, then mark 15 days on your calendar and avoid applying oil in your hair during this period. Once this period is over, you may apply oil to your hair; however, remember to use only a light oil.
