Who It’s Best For
Clients with average to dense hair
Those seeking a refined, adhesive-free extension option
People wanting color accents or soft fullness without long-term commitment
Clients looking for an entry point into luxury hair extensions
Clients who’ve experienced common tape-in frustrations like:
• Sticky residue at the roots
• Tangling or matting between tapes
• Tension or itching during grow-out
• Awkward removal appointments or hair damage
If that’s been your story, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to be your future. Nano Beads offer a smoother, cleaner, more breathable alternative that’s mapped to your real hair and how you actually wear it.
Hair with low density or visible thinning, especially fine hair that lies flat to your head, the beads may not stay fully concealed. You may be a better fit for IBE® if invisible coverage is your priority—we’ll walk you through the best option during your consultation.
What Exactly are Nano Bead Extension?
Each Nano Bead extension is a small, individual strand of extension hair with a tiny tip at the top—usually made of lightweight aluminum, though some versions use a flexible soft tip. This tip is secured to your natural hair using an ultra-small, silicone-lined bead—no glue, no heat, and no adhesive required.
The bead gently compresses around a section of your hair, holding the extension in place while allowing for natural movement and long-term reusability.
Nano Beads are often confused with i-Tip extensions, but they’re not the same:
Nano Beads use a smaller, flatter bead that’s more comfortable and easier to conceal
The attachment point is lighter and more flexible, allowing for softer movement and easier blending
At Kindred, we install them with custom spacing and tension-aware placement for maximum comfort and wearability
Think of Nano Beads as a more modern, minimalist take on individual strand extensions—comfortable, versatile, and free from adhesives or bulk.

faq
Are these a good starting point for extensions?
Absolutely. Nano Beads are a versatile, commitment-conscious way to explore extensions before stepping into higher-investment methods.
Can I reuse the hair?
Yes. With consistent at-home care and regular maintenance, the hair can last 9–12 months or more.
Can I Wear a Ponytail?
Yes—and more. Whether you wear your hair up, down, half-back, or switch your part daily, we plan your install around it. Nano Bead placement at Kindred is never one-size-fits-all. It’s custom, comfort-driven, and mapped for how you actually style your hair.
How do these compare to tape-ins?
They’re a modern upgrade—lighter, longer-lasting, and easier on your hair. No adhesives means no sticky residue and no harsh removal.
Will the beads show?
Not when mapped correctly. We assess your density, parting, and styling habits to ensure proper concealment and comfort.
