Copacabana Nanoplastia Aftercare: The Rules That Make It Last
Four simple rules from the brand, why shampooing three times a week matters, and which products to use after your Nanoplastia.
A smoothing treatment is only as good as the weeks that follow it. Copacabana, the Brazilian brand behind our Nanoplastia, gives four clear post-care rules. This is what they mean in practice.
How long it lasts: count washes, not months
The brand quotes a typical lifespan of about 50 to 60 washes, depending on the right aftercare. At three washes a week that is roughly 4 to 5 months. Wash daily and you will use up those washes in about two months.
Rule 1: protein-based, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner
Sulphates are strong cleansers that strip the treated surface. A protein-based, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner clean the hair while preserving the treatment. The brand recommends QOD Argan Shampoo and Conditioner and the QOD F4ST Mask for aftercare. Ask Aanya on WhatsApp whether we have them in stock.
Rule 2: leave-in cream before heat or styling
Use a leave-in cream as a base before any styling product or heat styling. It gives the hair a protective layer and helps your blow-dry or iron glide.
Rule 3: shampoo about three times a week
Daily shampooing makes the treatment fade quickly. Three times a week is the brand's recommendation. On the in-between days rinse with water, and use dry shampoo only sparingly.
Rule 4: do not oil your hair often
Frequent oiling creates build-up in the hair after the treatment. If oiling is part of your routine, keep it occasional and wash it out properly with your sulphate-free shampoo.
Bangalore's hard water
Borewell water leaves mineral build-up on hair, which dulls shine. Rinse your last wash with filtered water if you can, and ask your stylist at your next visit whether a clarifying step is right for your hair.
