FAQ's Bio-Straightening
What is CM Nano-Straightening?
CM Nano-Straightening is a revolutionary hair treatment that offers a safer, more natural alternative to traditional straightening methods. Unlike conventional treatments that rely on harsh chemicals such as formaldehyde, carbocysteine, or other aldehydes, Nano Straightening uses Monoi lactic acid along with amino acids, collagen, and proteins to smooth and straighten the hair from the inside out.
This innovative formula penetrates the cortex of the hair shaft, restructuring it at a molecular level without causing damage. What sets Nano Straightening apart is its ability to nourish, strengthen, and protect the hair while delivering sleek, long-lasting results—typically lasting between 4 to 8 months.
While traditional chemical treatments like keratin or Japanese straightening can weaken the hair by breaking down its natural bonds, Nano Straightening works in harmony with the hair’s natural composition. The inclusion of Monoi lactic acid gently refines the hair’s texture, leaving it smoother, shinier, and healthier—all without the use of aggressive chemicals.
What makes CM Nano-Straightening better than other straightening treatments?
CM Nano-Straightening contains a higher concentration of active ingredients, which allows the treatment to deliver longer-lasting, more durable results. CM Nano-Straightening comes in 5 different formulas, allowing the treatment to be personalised based on your hair type and desired result.
How long does CM Nano-Straightening takes to get it done?
The treatment takes up to 3–4 hours. Each service is fully personalised based on your hair type and condition, so application methods, processing time and straightener temperatures may vary to ensure the safest and best possible results.
Will CM Nano-Straightening permanently change my hair?
Unlike traditional chemical straightening, CM Nano-Straightening works by temporarily restructuring the hair using nourishing ingredients such as Monoi lactic acid, aminoacids, collagen, and proteins. These ingredients penetrate deep into the hair shaft to smooth and straighten the hair while maintaining its integrity. Nano-Straightening does not change the natural structure of your hair. The hair will grow in its genetically predetermined shape. However, the hair that has been previously Straightened will remain straight with proper aftercare.
When can I wash my hair after a CM Nano-Straightening treatment?
Hair should be washed on the same day, at any time before going to sleep. Please note that for thefirst wash only, you should apply conditioner before shampoo.
When can I colour my hair after CM Nano-Straightening?
Tint that is the same level or darker than your natural colour, can be done even on the same day.
Please note:
An all-over semi-permanent colour is perfectly fine.
If grey coverage is required, use permanent colour on the roots only and semi-permanent colour on the mid-lengths and ends.
Never apply permanent dye all over the hair, as this can compromise the hair’s condition.
Highlight or bleach my hair before or after CM Nano-Straightening?
For highlighting your natural colour or bleaching, it is essential to wait at least 4 weeks before or 4 weeks after having CM Nano-Straightening. Lightening services compromise the hair’s condition and can cause dehydration, so allowing sufficient recovery time helps protect the hair’s health and ensures the best possible results.
Will my hair colour change after CM Nano-Straightening?
- Due to the presence of natural acids in the formula, previously tinted hair may lift 1–2 shades lighter, especially if grey hair is present underneath.
- CM Nano-Straightening is safe for blonde hair. The formula contains a violet pigment, which helps neutralise unwanted warmth and tones the hair to a cleaner, ashier finish.
Does CM Nano-Straightening help with the growth of the hair?
Yes, biotin and other amino acids can help hair grow about 4 to 5 cm in 3 months.
Can CM Nano-Straightening be applied on kids?
Yes, it can be used from the age of 5 years old.
Is it safe for Pregnant women?
Yes, request the Pregnancy Formula.
Do I need to use a special Shampoo?
We strongly recommend Hair Care with Tahitian Monoi Oil to reinforce the hair and help maintain the straightening ingredients each time you wash your hair.
Can I swim after a CM Nano-Straightening treatment?
Yes, you can swim in both salt water and chlorinated pools after a CM Nano-Straightening treatment. However, both can strip moisture from the hair.
Before swimming, make sure to apply our 5 in 1 Treatment or Conditioner. This helps saturate the hair with moisture beforehand, reducing dryness and protecting the hair while you swim.
Can I still style my hair with curls after a CM Nano-Straightening treatment?
Yes! Because the formula does not use harsh chemicals or permanently alter the hair’s structure, you can still curl your hair using styling irons and enjoy versatile styling options.
Any suggested aftercare?
CM Nano-Straightening treatment is thermo-active, which means it gets activated with blow dryer heat for only 1 to 3 minutes. This will make your hair smoother, shinier, and will also prolong the life of the treatment.
How long does it last?
Results last up to 8 months or as your hair grows out.

For Dark Hair
The white color of the CM Nano-Straightening formula is designed to protect dark hair from unwanted color changes. Unlike tinted or yellow-based products that can oxidize under heat and cause brassy or reddish tones, this pigment-free formula keeps hair color more stable and true.
Its light tone helps stylists see the product clearly during application, preventing buildup or overprocessing. The result is smooth, shiny, and healthy dark hair with minimal color alteration
For Light Hair
CM Nano-Straightening, the purple color in the cream is intentional. It’s usually due to violet pigments added to the formula. Here’s why:
Why Purple?
When hair is chemically processed, especially if it has brown, lightened, or highlighted sections, it can develop warm/brassy undertones (yellow or orange).
Violet (purple) is opposite yellow on the color wheel, so violet pigment helps neutralize those yellow tones during the straightening process.
Think of it similar to purple shampoo → it keeps blonde or brown hair from turning orange/yellow.
