✨ Nanoplasty in summer: goodbye frizz and humidity

Summer is wonderful, but for anyone with frizzy or unruly hair it is also the most frustrating season. The humidity of a sultry day, a day at the sea or the office air conditioning are enough to puff the hair up and undo any style. This is exactly where nanoplasty comes into its own: smooth or disciplined hair, manageable in a few minutes, that stays in place even when the weather works against you.

At Alexim Atelier Duomo, in Via Mazzini 16 in Milan, nanoplasty is one of the most requested treatments when the warm weather arrives. In this article we look at why it is perfect for summer, when it is best to have it, how to handle sea and pool, and how to protect the result under the sun. For the more technical part, what nanoplasty is and how it works in detail, you will find everything in our dedicated feature on nanoplasty in Milan.

💎 Why frizz gets worse in summer

Frizz is nothing more than the hair’s reaction to humidity. When the cuticle is raised or the fibre is dehydrated, the hair absorbs the water in the air and swells, losing definition. In summer this phenomenon is amplified: humid heat, salt, chlorine and the constant swings between a sultry outdoors and air-conditioned spaces put the hair to the test.

Nanoplasty acts precisely here: it disciplines the fibre and reduces its reactivity to humidity, so the hair stays smooth or tidy for much longer, even on the most sultry days. The result is not a straightened, artificial effect, but naturally manageable hair.

✨ Nanoplasty before your holidays: the right moment

The period before the holidays is the ideal moment for nanoplasty. Leaving with your hair already disciplined means keeping the hairdryer and straightener to a minimum while travelling, drying in a few minutes and waking up with tidy hair even after a night by the sea. Less heat styling, less stress, more time to enjoy your break.

With an average duration of 3-6 months, depending on the type of hair and the home routine, a nanoplasty done at the start of the season carries you through the whole summer. During the consultation we work out the right timing based on the structure of your hair and your departure dates, so you reach your holidays with the result at its best.

💎 Nanoplasty, sea and pool: what to know

The most frequent question in summer concerns the sea and the pool. The good news is that nanoplasty gets on well with holidays, as long as you take a few small precautions. Salt and chlorine tend to stress any hair, so the secret is to limit how much settles on the fibre.

• 💎 Wet your hair with fresh water before going into the sea or pool: it will absorb less salt and chlorine.
• ✨ Always rinse with fresh water after swimming, as soon as possible.
• 💎 Use a hydrating mask to replenish the water lost to sun and salt.
• ✨ Avoid washes that are too aggressive and products that dry out the fibre.

These are the same precautions that apply to any hair on holiday: you will find them gathered in our guide on how to protect your hair from sun, salt and chlorine.

✨ Protecting nanoplasty from the sun with the Soleil line

Like the skin, treated hair too needs sun protection. UV rays tend to dry out the fibre and reduce how long the smoothing lasts, while good hydration keeps the result soft and luminous for longer. An oil or a spray with a UV filter applied to the lengths before exposure is the simplest gesture to preserve the nanoplasty.

For this reason we recommend pairing nanoplasty with the sun products of the Soleil Kérastase line, with UV filters and nourishing actives designed precisely for the fibre exposed to the sun. The Huile Sirène, in particular, protects and tames, keeping the smooth effect even after a day on the beach.

💎 Who it is recommended for in summer

Summer nanoplasty is perfect for anyone who battles frizz every morning, for anyone with curly or wavy hair who wants a more disciplined look without giving up naturalness, and for anyone who simply wants to make life easier on holiday. It is also suitable for coloured or lightened hair, because it works in harmony with the fibre without straightening it aggressively.

Every head of hair is different, though, and the result depends on the initial diagnosis. This is why every nanoplasty at Alexim starts with a consultation: we assess structure, technical history and goals, and we tell you honestly what to expect. If you are looking mainly for shine rather than smoothing, during the consultation we can also point you towards a different service, such as Glass Hair.

✨ Frequently asked questions about nanoplasty in summer

Is it worth having nanoplasty in summer?
Yes, it is one of the best times. Disciplining the fibre before the heat and humidity reduces frizz and simplifies daily management, especially on holiday.

Can I go to the sea after nanoplasty?
Yes. Wet your hair with fresh water before swimming, rinse it straight after and hydrate it with a mask. This way salt and chlorine affect the result far less.

How long does nanoplasty last?
On average 3-6 months, depending on the type of hair, the home routine and how often you wash it. A nanoplasty at the start of the season usually carries you through the whole summer.

Does nanoplasty eliminate frizz completely?
It markedly reduces reactivity to humidity and disciplines the fibre. The extent of the result depends on the starting base, which we assess during the consultation.

Is it fine for coloured or lightened hair too?
Generally yes, because it works in harmony with the fibre. Compatibility with your colour and technical history is always assessed during the initial diagnosis.

How do I protect nanoplasty from the sun?
With an oil or a spray with a UV filter on the lengths before exposure, such as those from the Soleil Kérastase line, and with good hydration to maintain softness and durability.

What is the difference between nanoplasty and Glass Hair?
Nanoplasty disciplines and smooths frizzy or unruly hair; Glass Hair focuses above all on mirror-like shine. During the consultation we work out which one best answers your goal.
