22 Inch True Copper Nano Tip Hair Extensions Makeover | Shade #33
This transformation shows how 22 inch Nano Tip hair extensions can create a dramatic increase in length, volume and colour when combined with a rich copper shade.
For this makeover, 175g of Nano Tip extensions were used in shade #33 True Copper, creating a long, full and vibrant finish.
Professionally fitted by @jccha1r, the finished result combines strong autumn colour with substantial extension density through the mid-lengths and ends.

Why This True Copper Nano Tip Makeover Stands Out
The combination of 22 inch length, 175g of extension hair and #33 True Copper creates a much more dramatic result than a subtle colour or volume enhancement.
The finished look is designed to be bold, warm and full through the ends.
What Colour Is Shade #33 True Copper?
Shade #33 True Copper is a rich, warm copper tone with strong red-orange character.
It sits brighter than auburn and has more orange warmth than deep red shades such as Red Wine or burgundy.
Why Is Copper Hair So Popular in Autumn?
Copper naturally fits the warmer colour palette associated with autumn.
It can add:
- Warmth
- Brightness
- Depth
- Seasonal colour
- Strong visual impact
What Is the Difference Between Copper and Auburn?
Copper is usually brighter and more orange-red.
Auburn is typically deeper and contains more brown.
What Is the Difference Between Copper and Red Wine?
Copper has a warmer orange-red tone.
Red Wine is deeper, darker and more burgundy in appearance.
Copper, auburn and burgundy may all sit within the red family, but the finished effect can be very different. A colour ring helps compare shades before fitting.
Should You Use a Hair Extension Colour Ring?
Yes.
A professional colour ring can help compare extension shades directly with the client's natural hair before fitting.

Can True Copper Hair Extensions Be Mixed with Other Shades?
Yes.
Copper can be blended with complementary colours such as:
- Auburn
- Warm brown
- Strawberry Blonde
- Dark brunette
This can create a softer or more multi-tonal result.
Can Copper Extensions Add Colour Without Dyeing All the Natural Hair?
Yes.
Pre-coloured extension strands can introduce copper tones without permanently colouring every section of natural hair.
This can be useful for:
- Copper highlights
- Face-framing colour
- Warm lowlights
- Full copper transformations
What Are Nano Tip Hair Extensions?
Nano Tip hair extensions are individual extension strands designed to be fitted using small Nano Rings.
A suitable section of natural hair is threaded through the ring, the Nano Tip extension is inserted and the ring is secured using professional extension pliers.
What Is the Difference Between a Nano Tip and a Nano Ring?
The Nano Tip is the attachment at the top of the extension strand.
The Nano Ring is the small ring used to secure that strand to the natural hair.
Why Choose Nano Tips for a Copper Transformation?
Because each strand is fitted individually, the technician can control:
- Placement
- Spacing
- Colour distribution
- Total amount of hair
- Where volume is added
Why Choose 22 Inch Nano Tip Extensions?
22 inch extensions create a long and noticeable transformation.
The final position depends on the client's height, natural hair length and where the extensions are fitted.
Can 22 Inch Nano Tips Add Volume?
Yes.
When enough strands are fitted, they can create substantial density through the mid-lengths and ends as well as adding length.
Why Does 22 Inch Hair Need Enough Density?
The longer the extension length, the more important it becomes to maintain fullness through the ends.
If too little hair is fitted, very long extensions may appear thin or disconnected.
What Does 175g of Hair Extensions Mean?
The 175g refers to the total approximate weight of extension hair used across the fitting.
This is different from individual strand weight.
Is 175g a Lot of Extension Hair?
It is a substantial amount of extension hair, but whether it is appropriate depends on the client's natural hair.
Total extension weight should always be balanced against:
- Natural hair density
- Natural hair strength
- Natural hair length
- Head size
- Desired finished result
Is More Hair Always Better?
No.
The goal is not simply to fit as much hair as possible.
The total weight needs to be suitable for the client's natural hair while still creating enough fullness for the desired result.
Why Does Total Extension Weight Matter?
Even when individual Nano Tip strands are relatively small, the combined weight across the full fitting can be significant.
This is why total weight and strand placement should be planned together.
175g can create a very full result, but suitability depends on the natural hair. Total extension weight should always be professionally assessed rather than chosen by a fixed rule.
How Many Nano Tip Strands Are Needed for 175g?
The exact number depends on the weight of each individual extension strand.
Different Nano Tip ranges may use different strand weights, so the total strand count should be calculated from the specific product being fitted.
Why Does Individual Strand Weight Matter?
Strand weight determines how much extension hair is attached to each section of natural hair.
The natural section must be strong enough to support the chosen extension strand.
How Are Nano Tip Extensions Fitted?
A typical professional fitting may involve:
- Assessing the natural hair.
- Choosing suitable extension colour, length and strand weight.
- Planning the total extension amount.
- Creating clean sections.
- Threading a Nano Ring onto a suitable natural hair section.
- Inserting the Nano Tip strand.
- Securing the ring using professional pliers.
- Repeating throughout the fitting area.
- Cutting and blending the finished extensions.
Why Is Section Size Important?
The natural hair section needs to support the weight of the extension strand.
If the section is too small, it may place unnecessary stress on the hair.
Why Does Attachment Placement Matter?
Placement affects:
- Comfort
- Attachment visibility
- Hair movement
- Colour distribution
- The client's usual hairstyles
Can Nano Tips Look Discreet?
Yes.
The small attachment size can sit discreetly when positioned in areas with enough natural hair coverage.
No fitted extension attachment is completely invisible in every hairstyle.
Can Nano Tips Be Fitted Too Tight?
Yes.
A fresh fitting may feel different initially, but persistent pain, pulling or soreness should be checked professionally.
Why Is Blending Important with 22 Inch Extensions?
The larger the difference between natural hair length and extension length, the more important blending becomes.
The extensions may need:
- Trimming
- Layering
- Shaping
- Texturising
Why Do Waves Work Well with Copper Extensions?
Waves and curls create movement and allow the copper tones to catch the light from different angles.
This can make the colour look more dimensional.
Can True Copper Nano Tips Be Worn Straight?
Yes.
Straight styles can show the copper colour very clearly, but blending becomes especially important.
Can Nano Tips Be Used on Fine Hair?
Potentially.
Suitability depends on the natural hair's density, strength and the weight of each extension strand.
A high total extension weight may not be appropriate for very fine or fragile hair.
Can Nano Tips Be Used on Thick Hair?
Yes.
Thicker natural hair may require more extension hair to create a balanced blend through long lengths.
Do Nano Tip Extensions Damage Hair?
Any fitted extension method can place stress on natural hair if it is unsuitable, fitted incorrectly, maintained poorly or removed incorrectly.
Risk can increase when:
- Strands are too heavy
- Natural sections are too small
- Attachments are fitted too tightly
- Total extension weight is excessive for the natural hair
- Maintenance is delayed excessively
- Removal is carried out incorrectly
Do Nano Tips Use Glue?
No.
Nano Tip extensions are secured using small rings rather than adhesive.
Do Nano Tips Use Heat During Fitting?
No heated bonding tool is normally required during Nano Tip application.
Does No Glue or Heat Mean Nano Tips Are Damage-Free?
No.
Suitability, strand weight, total weight, section size, placement, maintenance and removal all still matter.
How Long Can Nano Tips Stay Fitted?
There is no universal maintenance interval.
As natural hair grows, the attachments gradually move further away from the scalp.
The technician should advise when maintenance is required.
What Happens During Nano Tip Maintenance?
A maintenance appointment may involve:
- Opening the Nano Rings.
- Removing the extension strands.
- Releasing naturally shed hair.
- Checking the natural hair.
- Inspecting the extension strands.
- Replacing rings where appropriate.
- Refitting suitable strands closer to the scalp.
Can True Copper Nano Tips Be Reused?
Potentially, yes.
If the extension hair and attachment tip remain in suitable condition, strands may be refitted during maintenance.
Can Nano Tips Slip?
Individual strands can occasionally move or come loose.
Possible causes include:
- Incorrect fitting
- Natural shedding
- Ring movement
- Incorrect section size
- Excessive pulling
- Natural hair growth
How Should True Copper Nano Tips Be Washed?
Wash carefully around the attachment areas.
- Brush gently before washing.
- Wet the hair thoroughly.
- Apply suitable shampoo around the scalp.
- Massage carefully around the Nano Rings.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Condition mainly through the mid-lengths and ends.
- Rinse again.
- Dry the roots and attachment areas properly.
Can You Use Conditioner on Copper Nano Tips?
Yes.
Apply conditioner mainly through the mid-lengths and ends rather than heavily coating the attachment areas.
Can You Use a Hair Mask?
Yes, if suitable for extension hair.
Use richer treatments mainly through the lengths and ends.
Can You Use Hair Oil?
Yes, sparingly.
A small amount through dry ends can help improve softness and shine.
How Should Nano Tip Extensions Be Brushed?
Start at the ends and gradually work upwards while supporting the hair near the roots.
Take extra care around the Nano Ring attachments.

Why Does the Nape Need Extra Attention?
The nape experiences friction from clothing, sleeping and everyday movement.
Regular gentle brushing helps prevent small tangles developing into larger mats.
Can You Blow-Dry Nano Tip Extensions?
Yes.
Dry the roots and attachment areas properly rather than leaving them damp for long periods.
Can You Straighten True Copper Nano Tips?
Human hair Nano Tip extensions can generally be straightened using suitable heat protection.
Keep heated styling tools away from the ring attachments.
Can You Curl Copper Nano Tip Extensions?
Yes.
Waves and curls can make the True Copper colour appear even more dimensional.
Should You Use Heat Protection?
Yes.
Heat protection should form part of the styling routine whenever using hairdryers, straighteners or curling tools.
Can True Copper Hair Extensions Fade?
Yes.
Copper tones can gradually change through repeated washing, heat styling, UV exposure and general wear.
Why Does Copper Hair Fade?
Colour can be affected by:
- Frequent washing
- Strong shampoos
- High heat
- Sunlight
- Swimming
- Mineral build-up
Can Copper Extensions Become Lighter?
They can.
Warm tones may gradually soften or appear lighter with repeated UV exposure and washing.
Can Copper Extensions Become Duller?
Yes.
Product build-up, hard water and general wear can reduce shine and vibrancy.
Can Hard Water Affect True Copper Extensions?
Yes.
Minerals can build up on extension hair and affect softness, shine and colour.

Can Swimming Affect Copper Hair Extensions?

Chlorine, salt water and repeated soaking can affect both colour and condition.
Rinse thoroughly after swimming.

Can Copper Extensions Discolour?
Yes.
Colour can be affected by:
- UV exposure
- Hard water
- Swimming
- Heat
- Product build-up
- Sunscreen
- Fake tan

Should You Use Purple Shampoo on Copper Extensions?
No, not as a routine product.
Purple shampoo is designed to neutralise yellow tones and may dull or alter the warmth of a True Copper shade.
Can You Use Colour-Depositing Shampoo on Copper Extensions?
Use caution.
Pre-coloured extension hair may react differently from natural hair, so colour-depositing products can produce uneven results.
Can You Dye True Copper Nano Tips?
Further colouring carries risk because extension hair may already have undergone processing during manufacture.
Results can be unpredictable and condition may be affected.
Can You Bleach Copper Hair Extensions?
Further bleaching is generally best avoided unless the specific product is designed and approved for additional lightening.
Can Sunscreen Affect Copper Extensions?
Some products can transfer onto extension hair and may influence colour or appearance.
Can Fake Tan Affect True Copper Hair?
Transfer from tanning products may affect lighter or warm-toned extension hair.
Avoid unnecessary contact where possible.
Can You Sleep with Nano Tip Extensions?
Yes.
Before bed:
- Make sure the hair is dry
- Brush gently
- Check the nape for tangles
- Loosely secure longer lengths if required
Can You Sleep with Wet Nano Tips?
It is best avoided.
Wet hair can tangle and matt more easily, particularly around the roots and nape.
Should 22 Inch Nano Tips Be Braided at Night?
A loose braid can help control longer extension hair during sleep.
Avoid tight styles that pull against the attachment areas.
Can You Exercise with Nano Tip Extensions?
Yes.
After heavy exercise, allow the scalp and attachment areas to dry properly.
Can You Wear Nano Tips in a Ponytail?
Often, yes.
Placement should take the client's usual hairstyles into account.
Can You Wear 22 Inch Nano Tips in an Updo?
Potentially.
The final result depends on attachment placement and how much natural hair is available to conceal them.
How Are Nano Tip Extensions Removed?
The Nano Ring is carefully opened using suitable professional extension pliers.
The extension strand can then be removed without forcibly pulling it from the natural hair.
Should You Remove Nano Tips Yourself?
Professional removal is recommended.
Incorrect removal can place unnecessary stress on the natural hair.
How Long Does Copper Nano Tip Hair Last?
There is no fixed lifespan.
The condition of extension hair is affected by:
- Washing
- Brushing
- Heat styling
- Swimming
- Sun exposure
- Water quality
- Product use
- General aftercare
When Should Copper Extensions Be Replaced?
Replacement may be appropriate when the hair becomes:
- Severely dry
- Constantly tangled
- Thin through the ends
- Heavily heat damaged
- Severely faded
- Damaged around the attachment tip

Why This 175g True Copper Transformation Is Different
This makeover combines three strong elements: 22 inch length, 175g of extension hair and the vivid warmth of #33 True Copper.
The 175g total weight helps create substantial density through the long lengths, while the individual Nano Tip method allows the extension hair to be distributed throughout the fitting area.
The True Copper shade then gives the finished style a bold seasonal identity.
A dramatic transformation needs more than colour alone. Suitable total weight, correct strand selection, clean sectioning, professional placement, blending and colour aftercare all matter.

Final Thoughts
This 22 inch True Copper Nano Tip makeover shows how extension length, total hair weight and colour can work together to create a dramatic transformation.
The 175g fitting provides substantial fullness through the lengths and ends, while shade #33 True Copper creates a rich, warm finish with strong autumn appeal.
The individual Nano Tip method allows the extension hair to be distributed carefully throughout the head, but total weight and strand placement still need to be appropriate for the client's natural hair.
With professional fitting, regular maintenance and careful colour aftercare, True Copper Nano Tips can create a bold, full and distinctive result.
