Understanding Science & Technology

Do Nanokeratin System products contain identical formulations worldwide?

At Nanokeratin System, we believe that every hair type has its own unique characteristics and requirements. Our formulations are therefore developed through an in-depth understanding of hair structure, texture and individual properties.

As hair types and their characteristics may vary across populations and markets worldwide, we also consider the diversity of hair types commonly found in each market as part of our product development and formulation adaptation process.

This approach enables us to offer advanced solutions tailored to the specific needs of different hair types, whilst maintaining the high standards of quality, innovation and technology that define Nanokeratin System.

Our philosophy is simple: understand the hair, identify its needs and adapt the technology accordingly.

What Is Biomimetic Hair Technology?

Biomimetic Hair Technology is an approach to developing formulations inspired by the natural structure and functions of the hair fibre. This approach combines principles of materials science and cosmetic science to develop treatment systems designed to support the hair’s natural characteristics, including flexibility, moisture balance and protection against environmental factors.

Practical Example: The use of polymers and ingredients with an affinity for keratin, designed to form a thin protective layer around the hair fibre, inspired by the function of its natural protective layers. This layer may help reduce friction, improve the feel of the hair, minimise moisture loss and support the retention of natural moisture within the hair fibre.

Can Damaged Hair Be Restored?

The hair shaft is a non-living keratin structure and therefore cannot regenerate biologically. However, advanced cosmetic technologies may help improve its condition through ingredients that act on the hair surface and, in some cases, within the hair fibre. Potential benefits include improved softness, smoothness, ease of combing and the perception of stronger, healthier-looking hair.

Practical Example: Technologies based on peptides or ingredients designed to support interactions between hair components (Bond Building) may help improve certain properties of hair exposed to chemical treatments or heat.

It is important to recognise that the extent and durability of these effects depend on the condition of the hair, the product formulation and the method of application. Cosmetic hair restoration does not return the hair fibre to its original biological state. Instead, it aims to improve the properties, appearance and manageability of the existing hair fibre.

How does scientific research reflect the technologies developed by Nanokeratin System?

Scientific research provides insight into the scientific and biomimetic principles underpinning our technologies.

Our unique formulations, molecular mechanisms and development processes constitute the exclusive intellectual property of Nanokeratin System and are safeguarded within the company’s proprietary technological expertise.

Our technological innovations remain confidential, whilst the results and performance of our treatments provide a practical demonstration of their capabilities.

Do Nanokeratin System’s molecular animations illustrate processes occurring within the hair structure?

The animations are advanced scientific visualisations designed to illustrate molecular and physical processes associated with the proposed mechanisms of action of Nanokeratin System’s biomimetic technologies.

They demonstrate how active ingredients may interact with the hair fibre structure and keratin, potentially contributing to improved hair properties, strength and protection.

These visualisations are based on scientific principles and technological models, informed by microscopic findings. They are intended to illustrate complex molecular processes that may not always be directly observable or fully represented through conventional microscopic imaging.

Why Do Treatment Results Vary from Person to Person?

Every individual’s hair has a unique structure, texture, porosity level and physical condition, all of which influence how it responds to treatment and retains the results. Hair history, including colouring, bleaching, straightening, heat exposure, accumulated damage and daily haircare habits, also affects its condition and response to treatment. As a result, the same treatment may produce different outcomes from person to person.

Consistent professional treatments tailored to the hair’s condition may contribute to gradual improvements in hair quality, while proper, regular home care helps maintain moisture, minimise wear and preserve the results over time.

What is NKSHT8642 Hydrotherapy, and what role does water play in the technology?

NKSHT8642 Hydrotherapy is a proprietary technology developed by Nanokeratin System, based on water undergoing specialised processes of purification, filtration, disinfection, ionic separation, ionisation and enrichment.

These processes modify the physical and ionic properties of water, influencing the interactions between formulation ingredients, their distribution and their reactivity.

The specially processed water forms an integral part of the company’s technological system, designed to enhance the activity of active ingredients, optimise their interaction with the hair fibre, and support hair conditioning, restoration and moisture balance.

The uniqueness of NKSHT8642
lies in the combination of controlled physical modification of water and Nanokeratin System’s proprietary ingredients, creating an advanced formulation platform designed to enhance hair treatment performance.

What Does Advanced At-Home Hair Smoothing with SM156A Technology Mean?

Nanokeratin System’s SM156A Technology is based on biomimetic micro-polymers, combining intensive hair fibre care with a gentle, natural and progressive smoothing process.

While traditional hair care focuses on improving softness, shine and flexibility, SM156A Technology offers an additional benefit by progressively relaxing waves and curls, reducing frizz and enhancing the hair’s smooth appearance.

With each repeated treatment, the hair benefits from a cumulative process of conditioning and smoothing, helping to improve its overall condition, enhance softness and achieve a progressively smoother, healthier-looking and more manageable finish.

The treatment is designed for simple and convenient at-home use, offering gentle, progressive hair smoothing while preserving the hair’s natural flexibility and movement.

nanoSmooth Pure

Which nanoSmooth Pure Formula Is Right for My Hair?

The nanoSmooth Pure range features three specialised formulas, each developed to suit the hair’s structure, condition and chemical history, combining targeted care with effective smoothing.

REVIVE | Natural Hair
Designed for natural hair that has undergone no chemical treatments. Tailored to hair with a relatively stable keratin structure and intact cuticle, aiming to deliver effective smoothing while maintaining softness and flexibility.

REFINE | Coloured Hair
Designed for hair that has undergone colouring treatments only. Adapted to changes in hair porosity and cuticle structure, combining effective smoothing with targeted care for coloured hair while helping to maintain its colour appearance.

REPLENISH | Blonde & Bleached Hair
Designed for blonde, highlighted or bleached hair. Tailored to the needs of more delicate and porous hair, combining gentle smoothing with targeted care to support softness and flexibility.

Why Is Choosing the Right Formula Important?

Hair care focuses on improving the condition and quality of the hair fibre, while smoothing focuses on refining its texture and appearance.

Selecting the most suitable formula helps bring these two benefits together, aiming to achieve high-quality smoothing results tailored to the hair’s individual characteristics, while supporting softness, flexibility and a healthy-looking finish.

Are REVIVE, REFINE and REPLENISH Three Different Strength Levels?

REVIVE, REFINE and REPLENISH are three advanced formulations developed around a shared technological principle: adapting the process of structural bond modification to the specific physical and chemical environment of the hair fibre.

REVIVE | Natural Hair: Designed for hair with a relatively intact, compact cuticle structure, taking into account the fibre’s resistance and the ability of active ingredients to penetrate the hair.

REFINE | Coloured Hair: Developed for hair that has undergone colouring processes, which may alter its porosity, cuticle structure and response to chemical treatments.

REPLENISH | Lightened & Bleached Hair: Formulated for hair that has undergone lightening or bleaching processes, often characterised by increased porosity, changes to internal bonds and greater structural sensitivity.

All three formulations share the same technological objective: controlled modification of the hair’s structural bonds to achieve high-quality smoothing and straightening, alongside conditioning tailored to the structural needs of each hair type.

The guiding principle of NanoKeratin System: The formulation is selected according to the structural environment in which the transformation needs to take place, rather than its level of strength.

The Physical Mechanism Behind MNSP2646 Technology

MNSP2646 is Nanokeratin System’s proprietary biomimetic molecular hair-smoothing technology, based on the physical principle of material expansion within a confined space.

Tiny molecules penetrate the hair fibre. When heat is applied at temperatures between 180°C and 230°C, the active components are designed to expand, according to the company’s technological model, generating internal pressure that pushes the fibre structure outwards.

The observable result is an increase in hair fibre width and a change in its geometry, consistent with the proposed transition from a flattened or elliptical structure towards a more rounded shape, contributing to smoother hair whilst maintaining its natural flexibility and movement.

Can bleached or highlighted hair be treated in the same way as natural hair?

Bleaching can affect both the outer cuticle and the internal structure of the hair fibre, including its molecular bonds. It is therefore essential to distinguish between two conditions:

Treatment: When the internal structure is severely compromised and the molecular bonds can no longer support safe, controlled structural modification, the priority is treatment alone. The focus is on improving the hair fibre’s condition, softness, flexibility and overall appearance while preserving its remaining structural integrity.

Smoothing & Treatment: When the internal structure retains sufficient integrity and molecular bonds capable of controlled modification, smoothing can be combined with treatment. This approach has two objectives: reshaping the hair fibre to achieve a smoother appearance while improving its cosmetic properties.

REPLENISH from the nanoSmooth Pure range is specifically formulated for bleached and highlighted hair. However, the appropriate treatment approach depends on a professional assessment of the hair’s structural condition rather than its level of lightness alone.

The professional principle is straightforward: When the internal structure cannot safely support modification, treatment takes priority. When the structure allows controlled modification, smoothing and treatment can be combined.

In both cases, following the official application protocol and instructions for use is essential, including the appropriate temperature, working technique and treatment stages, all adapted to the hair’s structural condition.

Refortify

Who Is Refortify Designed For?

Refortify is a professional hair treatment and straightening system that combines cosmetic hair repair and structural transformation in a single process. The system features two specialised formulations, each developed to address the distinct physical and structural characteristics of different hair types.

Refortify for Afro-Caribbean Hair

Specifically developed for Afro-Caribbean hair, characterised by tightly coiled curls, significant shrinkage and a distinctive hair fibre structure.

The formulation is designed to accommodate these unique structural characteristics, combining hair straightening and texture transformation with cosmetic treatment and conditioning of the hair fibre.

Refortify for All Hair Types

Despite its name, this formulation is particularly suited to extremely thick, dense hair with a strong, structurally resistant fibre, such as very thick Asian hair.

It is developed to address the challenges associated with substantial fibre thickness and high resistance to texture transformation, while combining effective straightening with cosmetic hair treatment.

What Is the Fundamental Difference?

Afro-Caribbean Hair: The formulation is specifically adapted to tightly coiled curl patterns and the distinctive structural characteristics commonly associated with Afro-Caribbean hair.

All Hair Types: The formulation is particularly adapted to exceptionally thick hair fibres, high density and structural resistance, as commonly found in very thick Asian hair.

Both formulations are designed to deliver hair straightening and cosmetic treatment simultaneously. Their fundamental difference lies in the specific hair fibre structures for which they have been developed, rather than in their straightening strength or treatment objectives.

Selecting the most suitable formulation requires a professional assessment of the hair’s structure, fibre thickness, current condition and chemical history, including previous colouring, bleaching and straightening treatments.

An important distinction: Afro-Caribbean hair is not necessarily thick, and exceptionally thick hair is not necessarily Afro-Caribbean. Formulation selection should therefore be based on the hair’s overall structural characteristics rather than fibre thickness alone.

What Is the Difference Between Soft Smoothing and Complete Straightening with Refortify Technology?

Refortify Technology combines cosmetic hair treatment with controlled modification of the curl structure, allowing the degree of straightening to be tailored to the desired result.

Selecting the Right Formula for Your Hair Type

Refortify offers two professional formulas: For Afro Hair and For All Hair Types.

The appropriate formula is selected by a hair professional according to the hair type, structure and condition. Both formulas operate on the same technological principle and can achieve different levels of straightening.

Soft Smoothing

Treatment Objective: To improve the hair’s texture and appearance while gently relaxing and softening the curl structure.

Result: Softer, shinier and more manageable hair, with looser, more relaxed curls, a natural wavy appearance, reduced volume and frizz, and maintained movement and flexibility.

Complete Straightening

Treatment Objective: To provide cosmetic hair care alongside a more significant modification of the curl structure, achieving a higher degree of straightening.

Result: Straighter, smoother and more uniform hair with a silky texture and enhanced shine, alongside a significant reduction in curls and volume.

Treatment Protocol

The degree of straightening is determined by adjusting the straightener temperature and application technique, in accordance with the professional treatment protocol, the hair’s condition and the desired result.

In Summary

The formula is selected according to the hair type and condition, while the treatment protocol is tailored to the desired level of straightening.

In both cases, the hair benefits from cosmetic treatment using Refortify Technology. The key difference lies in the degree of curl structure modification and the final result, ranging from soft, natural-looking waves to sleek, straight hair.

What Does the AF7851R Technology Model Describe?

Nanokeratin System’s AF7851R biomimetic technology was specifically developed for Afro-Caribbean hair, which is often characterised by an elliptical cross-sectional shape, tightly coiled curls and distinctive structural properties.

The technology is based on micro-polymers designed to interact with the unique structural environment of Afro-Caribbean hair. According to the technology model, controlled heat induces volumetric expansion of these polymers within the hair fibre, generating internal pressure through a mechanism conceptually associated with Pascal’s law.

This proposed mechanism is designed to encourage a geometric transformation of the hair fibre, from an elliptical towards a more rounded cross-sectional shape, supporting curl relaxation and hair straightening.

The technology model describes the proposed physical mechanism of structural transformation, whilst the cosmetic results are reflected in the degree of straightening, curl relaxation and improvements in softness, flexibility and overall hair appearance.

AF7851R was specifically developed to address the structural characteristics of Afro-Caribbean hair, combining hair straightening with fibre care and conditioning. The final results depend on the hair’s natural structure, current condition and previous treatment history.

How Do Scalp Cleansing, Purification and Reactivation Influence Hair Growth?

Through its extensive experience treating thousands of clients, Nanokeratin System has identified cases in which accumulated sebum has hardened and adhered to the walls of hair follicle openings, forming wax-like deposits resembling cork plugs. These accumulations may interfere with the natural environment surrounding the follicles and the emergence of hair fibres.

The technology is based on three complementary stages, performed in a specific sequence:

1. Cleansing: Breaking down and removing hardened sebum deposits accumulated around hair follicle openings, helping to release blockages and cleanse the follicular environment.

2. Purification and Sanitisation: Thoroughly cleansing the scalp and follicle openings to help reduce microbial accumulation and establish a cleaner, more balanced scalp environment.

3. Reactivation: Following the completion of cleansing, purification and the removal of blockages around the hair follicle openings, the scalp reactivation stage begins. This stage is designed to stimulate the activity of tiny blood vessels within the scalp, support the delivery of oxygen and essential nutrients to the follicular environment, and promote conditions favourable to natural hair growth.

Reactivation is the central stage in the hair growth stimulation process. While cleansing and purification prepare the scalp environment and help clear accumulated deposits from follicle openings, reactivation focuses on stimulating the activity of blood vessels supplying the hair follicles and supporting the physiological processes associated with natural hair growth.

Laboratory observations and measurements conducted by Nanokeratin System documented hair growth of 3 to 5 cm in the cases examined, alongside noticeable improvements in scalp condition and appearance.

The Technological Principle: The process begins with thorough scalp cleansing and purification, removing hardened sebum deposits and releasing blockages around hair follicle openings. This is followed by scalp reactivation, designed to stimulate blood vessel activity within the scalp and support the conditions associated with healthy, natural hair growth.

The integration of these three stages forms the foundation of Nanokeratin System’s technological approach to scalp care and the promotion of natural hair growth.

Sunlight Phototherapy Technology NKSPT4646, incorporated into ReInvent Insulator by Nanokeratin System, is based on a biomimetic mechanism that responds to heat energy and sunlight as part of an advanced hair care and protection system.

The technology combines three complementary actions:

  1. Heat and Sunlight Activation: Exposure to heat from hairdryers, styling tools or the surrounding environment, alongside sunlight, is designed to activate the polymeric system and promote the formation of a protective coating on the hair fibre.
  2. Thermal Protection: The polymeric coating is designed to form a protective envelope that helps minimise the effects of heat exposure on the hair fibre, maintain softness and reduce dryness and friction.
  3. Protection Against the Effects of Sun Exposure: The polymeric envelope is designed to help protect the hair fibre during exposure to sunlight and environmental stressors. It supports moisture retention, shine and flexibility while helping to minimise the effects of environmental stress on the hair surface.

What makes ReInvent Insulator unique is its combination of advanced hair conditioning and heat- and sunlight-responsive technology, designed to create a renewable polymeric protective envelope. This innovative approach transforms exposure to thermal energy into an integral part of the product’s intended hair care and protection mechanism.

Does enhanced shine also indicate improved hair colour retention?

Nanokeratin System’s MLRP4882 Colour Vibrancy Technology was developed to enhance natural shine, intensify the appearance of hair pigments and help maintain rich, vibrant-looking colour.

The technology works through three complementary actions:

  1. Pigment Affinity: Biomimetic particles designed to interact with the hair fibre and its pigments, helping to enhance light reflection and emphasise colour depth.
  2. Shine Enhancement: Improving the uniformity of the hair surface and reducing friction between fibres, resulting in enhanced natural shine and a richer, more radiant colour appearance.
  3. Colour Vibrancy Preservation: Supporting the hair’s protective surface layer to help maintain colour vibrancy over time, whilst providing conditioning benefits and protection against environmental influences.

MLRP4882 combines enhanced shine with advanced colour care. The preservation of pigments within the hair fibre is assessed separately through colour-fastness testing, distinguishing visible colour vibrancy from measurable long-term pigment retention.

Why Is Home Care an Essential Part of the Nanokeratin System Professional Treatment?

Nanokeratin System Home Care products have been developed as a direct technological extension of professional salon treatments. Their purpose is to create a continuous connection between the treatment and the long-term preservation of its results, combining targeted maintenance with ongoing protection.

Unlike conventional hair care products, these specialised formulations are designed to complement professional treatment technologies, helping to preserve results and extend treatment longevity.

1. Maintenance: Preserving Professional Results

Nanokeratin System Home Care products help maintain the characteristics achieved during professional treatment, including softness, shine, flexibility, texture and frizz control.

Consistent maintenance supports hair quality and helps preserve treatment results between salon visits.

2. Protection: Safeguarding the Hair’s Outer Structure with ReInvent Insulator

ReInvent Insulator is a key component of the protection system, incorporating Sunlight Phototherapy technology.

This technology combines responsiveness to heat and sunlight with the formation of a protective micro-polymeric coating on the hair surface, helping to protect the cuticle and reduce the effects of humidity and environmental exposure.

While maintenance preserves hair quality and cosmetic results, protection helps minimise the impact of external factors that may compromise them.

3. Home Care Tailored to Each Professional Treatment

Every professional treatment has specific objectives, so the home care routine should be tailored to the results achieved and the condition of the hair.

Following smoothing treatments, maintenance focuses on preserving smoothness and frizz control. After restorative treatments, the emphasis is on softness, flexibility and moisture balance. For coloured or chemically treated hair, products should be selected to support hair condition and maintain its cosmetic quality.

The professional stylist should recommend the appropriate maintenance and protection products according to the specific treatment protocol.

4. Extending Treatment Longevity

The correct combination of Nanokeratin System Home Care products and ReInvent Insulator helps preserve the hair’s characteristics achieved in the salon, minimise the gradual decline in cosmetic results and extend the benefits of professional treatments.

The Nanokeratin System Philosophy

Professional treatments create the results.

Home Care products maintain and preserve them.

ReInvent Insulator protects the hair’s outer structure and helps extend treatment longevity.

Together, they form an integrated technological system connecting professional salon treatments with continuous maintenance and protection at home.

Where can I read a dedicated SoftSmooth article?

The Science & Technology journal currently lists SoftSmooth with “New articles coming soon”. Reinvent Insulator discusses the SoftSmooth/ReSmooth technology context, but it does not establish identical chemistry or protocols across these products. A dedicated article will be linked from the journal when available.

Safety & Suitability

Are Nanokeratin smoothing treatments safe for children?

Nanokeratin System professional smoothing treatments are not recommended for use on children.

Research into the safety of chemical hair-smoothing treatments in children remains limited, and their safety in this age group has not been fully established.

Therefore, as a precaution, we recommend avoiding professional smoothing treatments on children.
