Professional Salon Use

Nanoworks Gold is suitable for salon routines where the stylist is working with hair that feels:

• Dry
• Mature
• Coarse
• Colour-treated
• Dull
• Brittle
• Difficult to detangle

Suggested Salon Routine

Step 1 — Assess the Hair

Look at:

• Porosity
• Texture
• Density
• Colour history
• Chemical processing
• Dryness
• Condition of the ends

Step 2 — Cleanse

Apply Nanoworks Gold Shampoo to wet hair.

Work primarily at the scalp before distributing the lather through the lengths.

Pureology's current directions recommend applying a small amount at the scalp, emulsifying into a lather and rinsing. A second cleanse can be used when extra cleansing is required.

Step 3 — Condition

Apply Nanoworks Gold Conditioner to the shampooed hair.

Concentrate on the mid-lengths and ends.

Step 4 — Allow to Condition

Leave the conditioner for approximately 1–2 minutes according to the current published directions.

Step 5 — Rinse

Rinse thoroughly.

Step 6 — Finish

For additional leave-in conditioning and styling support, Pureology recommends Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray after the Nanoworks Gold routine.

How to Use at Home

Shampoo

1. Thoroughly wet the hair.
2. Apply a small amount of Nanoworks Gold Shampoo to the scalp.
3. Massage gently.
4. Work the lather through the hair.
5. Rinse thoroughly.
6. Repeat if additional cleansing is needed.

Conditioner

1. Apply conditioner after shampooing.
2. Concentrate on mid-lengths and ends.
3. Massage through the hair.
4. Leave for approximately 1–2 minutes.
5. Rinse thoroughly.

Pureology's published directions support this application sequence.

How Much Product Should You Use?

There is no single correct quantity for every customer.

Hair length, density, porosity and texture all affect product requirements.

Short or fine hair

Start with a small quantity.

Medium hair

Use enough conditioner to coat the mid-lengths and ends evenly.

Long, dense or coarse hair

Additional product may be needed.

The conditioner is concentrated, so starting with less is sensible and adding more only where required can help prevent over-conditioning.

Common Mistakes

1. Applying Too Much Conditioner

More product does not automatically mean better results.

Start with a modest quantity and increase if needed.

2. Applying Rich Conditioner Heavily to Fine Roots

Nanoworks Gold is designed for a richer conditioning experience. Customers with fine hair should generally focus conditioner through the lengths and ends.

3. Using Shampoo Only on the Ends

The scalp is where cleansing is primarily required.

Work the shampoo into the scalp and allow the lather to travel through the lengths.

4. Rushing the Conditioner Step

Allow approximately 1–2 minutes for the conditioner according to the product directions.

5. Expecting a Cosmetic Conditioner to Repair Hair Permanently

Hair fibre is non-living tissue.

Haircare can improve the feel, appearance, smoothness and manageability of damaged hair, but it cannot biologically restore permanently damaged hair to its original state.

Professional Haircare Tips

Tip 1 — Focus on the ends

Older sections of hair are usually the longest-exposed parts of the fibre, so they often need the most conditioning.

Tip 2 — Adjust product quantity

Coarse hair may tolerate more conditioner than very fine hair.

Tip 3 — Avoid unnecessary roughness

Aggressive towel drying and vigorous brushing can increase mechanical stress.

Tip 4 — Use heat thoughtfully

A good cleansing and conditioning routine does not eliminate the need for sensible heat-styling practices.

Tip 5 — Trim severely split ends

Conditioner can improve the appearance and feel of split ends but cannot permanently fuse a split hair fibre.

Is Nanoworks Gold Suitable for Colour-Treated Hair?

Yes.

Pureology positions Nanoworks Gold as colour-safe haircare and identifies Antifade Complex® as part of its colour-protection technology.

This makes it a sensible option for:

• Permanent colour
• Highlights
• Balayage
• Chemically treated hair
• Mature coloured hair
• Dry coloured hair

The exact compatibility of any professional colour service should always be assessed by the stylist.

Is Nanoworks Gold Suitable for Bleached Hair?

It can be appropriate for bleached hair when the primary concerns are dryness, brittleness, roughness and lack of softness.

However, severely compromised or highly porous hair may require a more specialised strengthening or bond-focused routine depending on its condition.

Nanoworks Gold should therefore be viewed as a premium conditioning and cleansing system rather than a substitute for professional assessment of severely damaged hair.

Is It Suitable for Fine Hair?

It depends on the condition of the fine hair.

The conditioner is described as having a treatment-like conditioning effect in a lightweight formula, but the Nanoworks Gold range is primarily associated with mature, dry and tired hair rather than maximum volume.

If fine hair becomes flat very easily, Pureology Pure Volume may be a more targeted option.

Is It Suitable for Coarse Hair?

Yes, coarse and dry hair can be a particularly good match for the richer conditioning characteristics of Nanoworks Gold Conditioner.

The formula includes conditioning agents, shea butter, panthenol, Marula Oil and hydrolysed vegetable protein.

Ingredients Overview

Shampoo

The current published shampoo formula includes cleansing and conditioning ingredients such as:

• Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate

• Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate
• Panthenol
• Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil
• Tocopherol

Important formulation disclaimer

Cosmetic formulas can change between manufacturing batches, markets and packaging updates.

Always use the ingredient list printed on the physical product supplied to your customer as the definitive ingredient reference.

Is Nanoworks Gold Sulphate-Free?

Pureology describes Nanoworks Gold Shampoo as sulphate-free / ZeroSulfate®.

This is an important distinction for customers searching specifically for a sulphate-free shampoo for colour-treated hair.

Is Nanoworks Gold Vegan?

Yes. Pureology states that its formulas are vegan and made without animal-derived products or by-products.

Does the Conditioner Contain Silicone?

Yes, the currently published Nanoworks Gold Conditioner ingredient list includes Amodimethicone.

This is important for transparent ecommerce content.

Do not describe this conditioner as “silicone-free”.

Amodimethicone is a conditioning polymer commonly used in hair products to improve slip, smoothness and manageability.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Pureology Nanoworks Gold Shampoo & Conditioner Duo?

Pureology Nanoworks Gold Shampoo & Conditioner Duo is a two-step haircare system designed for dry, mature, brittle, coarse and colour-treated hair. The shampoo provides sulphate-free cleansing, while the conditioner offers richer treatment-style conditioning. Key formula associations include Golden Marula Oil, Keravis protein and Antifade Complex®.

2. Is Pureology Nanoworks Gold suitable for colour-treated hair?

Yes. Nanoworks Gold is positioned for colour-treated hair and incorporates Pureology's Antifade Complex® colour-care technology. This makes the range relevant to customers who want to combine conditioning and colour-conscious cleansing in their regular routine.

3. Is Nanoworks Gold Shampoo sulphate-free?

Yes. Pureology describes Nanoworks Gold Shampoo as a sulphate-free formula and uses its ZeroSulfate® positioning. The current published ingredient list contains several alternative cleansing surfactants rather than traditional sulphate cleansers such as sodium lauryl sulphate.

4. Is Pureology Nanoworks Gold vegan?

Yes. Pureology states that its formulas are vegan and made without animal-derived products or by-products. This applies to the brand's positioning of the Nanoworks Gold products.

5. What is Golden Marula Oil?

Golden Marula Oil is one of the key ingredients associated with Nanoworks Gold. The conditioner ingredient list identifies Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, commonly known as Marula Oil. Pureology associates the oil with helping hair feel soft, supple and moisturised.

6. What is Keravis in Pureology Nanoworks Gold?

Keravis is a plant-derived protein ingredient highlighted by Pureology in the Nanoworks Gold range. It is associated with the strengthening aspect of the formula. For accurate cosmetic claims, it is best described as supporting the feel and condition of the hair rather than claiming that it permanently repairs the hair fibre.

7. Does Nanoworks Gold Conditioner contain silicone?

Yes. The current published ingredient list contains Amodimethicone. This should be clearly disclosed rather than describing the conditioner as silicone-free. Amodimethicone is used in haircare formulations to provide conditioning, slip and smoother-feeling hair.

8. Is Nanoworks Gold good for very dry hair?

It is specifically positioned for mature and dry hair and provides a richer conditioning experience than a lightweight volume-focused conditioner. The combination of conditioner, Shea Butter, Marula Oil, Panthenol and other conditioning ingredients makes it particularly relevant when softness and manageability are priorities.

9. Is Nanoworks Gold good for coarse hair?

Yes. Coarse hair often benefits from more substantial conditioning, and Nanoworks Gold Conditioner provides a rich conditioning format. However, the correct quantity depends on hair density, length and condition, so starting with a modest amount and increasing where necessary is sensible.

10. Can I use Nanoworks Gold on bleached hair?

It can be suitable when bleached hair is dry, coarse, brittle-feeling or lacking softness. However, severely compromised bleached hair may need a specialised professional strengthening or bond-focused service. Nanoworks Gold should be viewed as a cosmetic cleansing and conditioning routine rather than a treatment for severe structural damage.

11. How long should I leave Nanoworks Gold Conditioner on?

Pureology's current instructions recommend leaving the conditioner on for approximately 1–2 minutes before rinsing. Apply it after shampooing and focus primarily on the mid-lengths and ends.

12. Is Nanoworks Gold Conditioner a hair mask?

It is a conditioner with a treatment-like conditioning experience. Pureology describes it as providing the feel of an intensive treatment while remaining a rinse-out conditioner. It should therefore be used according to the conditioner directions rather than treated as a separate overnight mask.

13. Is Nanoworks Gold suitable for fine hair?

It can work for fine hair when dryness and conditioning are the main concerns, but it is not Pureology's most volume-focused collection. Customers whose main objective is lift and body may be better served by Pure Volume. Use a small amount of Nanoworks Gold Conditioner and concentrate it on the ends if fine hair becomes weighed down.

14. What size should I choose: 266ml or 1000ml?

The 266ml size is practical for individual home use, while 1000ml is more appropriate for frequent users, larger households and professional salon environments. Current product listings confirm 1000ml Nanoworks Gold Conditioner alongside the 266ml version. Nanoworks Gold Shampoo is also officially listed in a 1000ml format.

15. Where can I buy Pureology Nanoworks Gold in Ireland, the UK or EU?

For Ireland, the UK and EU, customers should purchase from an established professional beauty retailer or authorised stockist and check the exact product size, barcode, packaging and ingredient information before purchase. Availability of individual sizes can differ by market, so the product variant shown at checkout should always match the physical SKU being supplied.

Conclusion

Pureology Nanoworks Gold Shampoo & Conditioner Duo is best understood as a premium cleansing and conditioning system for hair that needs softness, manageability, shine and richer care.

Its strongest use case is hair that is:

mature + dry + coarse/brittle + colour-treated + lacking softness

The combination of Golden Marula Oil, Keravis protein, Antifade Complex® and ZeroSulfate® shampoo technology gives the range a clear identity within Pureology's wider portfolio.

For fine hair primarily seeking volume, choose Pure Volume. For pronounced damage and weakness, Strength Cure may be a better fit. For moisture as the dominant concern, Hydrate may be more appropriate.

If Nanoworks Gold matches the condition of your hair, the duo provides a simple cleanse-and-condition routine with professional positioning and larger-size options for regular or salon use.

Choose the size that matches your routine, verify the exact SKU supplied, and build your haircare routine around your hair's actual condition rather than simply choosing the richest product available.
