Nano Ring & Nano Bond Hair Extensions

WAVE nano hair extensions, also sold as nano ring hair extensions, nano bead extensions and nano tips, in five lengths from 16 to 24 inches and textures from straight to 3B/4A curly.

At WAVE we specialise in high-quality nano bead hair extensions tailored for all hair types, including curly, textured, fine and thinning hair. Our extensions use ultra-small, discreet nano bonds that are virtually invisible and extremely gentle on natural hair. Whether you are adding length, volume or blending in colour, nano bonds create a seamless finish even on the finest hair.

Choose from over 60 shades. Every strand is 100% double drawn Remy human hair, cuticle aligned, and every pack is 50g.

How Much Are Nano Ring Hair Extensions?

WAVE nano ring hair extensions cost from £161.99 for a 50g pack at 16 inches to £225 for a 50g pack at 24 inches. The price depends on the length and the shade group. A typical full head of three packs comes to £485.97 at 16 inches, up to £675 at 24 inches.

You can spread the cost over 3 interest-free payments with Klarna. Salons and stylists with a WAVE trade account pay from 20% less.

Why Choose Nano Ring Hair Extensions?

• Gentle on natural hair. Our nano bead system uses soft silicone-lined rings that cushion your hair, reducing tension and breakage, ideal for fine or delicate hair.
• Heat-free and glue-free installation. Nano rings are applied without heat or adhesives, protecting your hair during fitting.
• Moved up, not replaced. At each maintenance appointment the bonds are refitted closer to the root, and nano bonds can be combined with our other professional methods.
• Virtually invisible finish. Tiny, colour-matched rings sit flat for a discreet blend.
• Made for wavy and curly hair too. Choose from straight, kinky straight, soft wave, water wave, deep wave and curly textures to match your own pattern, not just straight styles.

We recommend maintenance appointments every 4 to 8 weeks to refit the bonds as your natural hair grows.

Nano Rings, Nano Beads, Nano Tips and Nano Bonds: What Is the Difference?

Nano rings, nano beads and nano tips are different names for the same method: a fine strand of hair threaded through a tiny ring with a small section of your own hair, then closed flat. We call ours nano bonds. Some brands also use "nano bonds" for keratin bonds that are fused with heat, so it is worth checking. WAVE nano bonds are ring-fitted, with no heat and no glue.

Stylists looking for the rings themselves can buy silicone-lined nano rings or nano rings without silicone separately.

How Are Nano Bead Extensions Installed?

Each extension is a fine, tipped strand. The tip is threaded through a silicone-lined nano ring together with a small section of your own hair, then the ring is gently closed flat. The rings are colour-matched and lightweight, so they are comfortable to wear all day, and nothing is heated or glued.

How Long Do Nano Bonds Last?

With the right care, WAVE nano bond extensions last between 6 and 9 months. We recommend WAVE haircare products to protect the quality and longevity of your extensions.

• Avoid sulphate and alcohol-based hair products
• Limit washing to 1 to 2 times per week
• Always blow-dry your extensions thoroughly after washing
• Argan oil is your best friend for curly extensions
• Curly extensions tend to be drier than straight hair, keep them hydrated

How Many Nano Bonds Will You Need?

Each pack contains 50g of WAVE nano bead hair extensions, approximately 50 beads at 1g each, across all lengths from 16 to 24 inches.

A typical full head takes three 50g packs (150g, about 150 strands). Fine hair or a partial fit for volume may need fewer, and thick hair or the longest lengths may need more, so your stylist will confirm at consultation.

Nano Bond Hair Extensions FAQs

What are nano hair extensions?
Nano hair extensions, also called nano ring, nano bead or nano tip extensions, are individual strands of hair attached to your own hair with a tiny silicone-lined ring. They are fitted with no heat and no glue, and the ring is much smaller than a traditional micro ring.

How much do nano hair extensions cost?
WAVE nano ring hair extensions cost from £161.99 for a 50g pack at 16 inches to £225 for a 50g pack at 24 inches. The price depends on length and shade. Salons and stylists with a trade account pay from 20% less.

How many packs of nano bonds do I need for a full head?
A typical full head takes three 50g packs, about 150 strands. Fine hair may need fewer and thick hair or the longest lengths more, so your stylist will confirm at consultation.

What is the difference between nano rings and micro rings?
Nano rings are significantly smaller, which makes them more discreet and better suited to fine hair. Micro rings are larger and hold slightly more hair per bond.

Are nano bond hair extensions damaging?
Fitted and maintained properly, no. Nano rings go in with no heat and no glue, and the silicone lining cushions your hair inside the ring, so they are gentle even on fine hair. Keep to maintenance appointments every 4 to 8 weeks so the bonds never pull as your hair grows.

How long do nano bond extensions last?
With proper care, WAVE nano bond extensions last between 6 and 9 months.

How are nano bond extensions applied?
Each strand is threaded through a tiny silicone-lined nano ring together with a small section of your own hair, then the ring is gently closed flat. No heat and no glue.

How often do nano bonds need refitting?
A maintenance appointment every 4 to 8 weeks moves the bonds back up as your natural hair grows.

Do nano bonds work on fine or curly hair?
Yes. The tiny, colour-matched rings suit fine hair well, and WAVE nano bonds come in textures from straight and kinky straight through soft, water and deep waves to 3B/4A curly.

What lengths and shades do WAVE nano bonds come in?
Five lengths: 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 inches. Over 60 shades, with 14 on the curly textures. All are 100% double drawn Remy human hair.
