The health of your nails depends entirely on the quality and proper care. Nutrition and the use of vitamins, which are very important for the health of not only nails, but also hair, skin and the whole body, play an equally important role.
The condition of the nails is also a reflection of a woman's character, an expression of her attentiveness to trifles. In addition, completely different manicure options look much more impressive on strong and smooth nails. What are the common mistakes in nail care?
1. Coating
In no case should the application of any coating be neglected. Its absence makes the nail plate more vulnerable and defenseless against most bacteria, infections, fungi, etc. In addition, nails that are not covered with a protective varnish become very fragile.
When choosing the type of extension, in no case should you be guided only by fashion trends or other people's advice. Absolutely all types of extensions are suitable only for those women who have healthy, flexible and strong nails. In all other cases, you should choose the type of coating (gel polish, gel, acrylic), which will help get rid of imperfections for a certain type of nails.
2. Cuticle removal
You shouldn't cut your cuticles very often, and besides, do it completely. Although edged manicure looks aesthetically pleasing and is hugely popular, it is not safe to use, even if you do it at home. Since the cuticle protects the nail from harmful bacteria, fungi and infections. Complete removal of the cuticle makes the nail defenseless to various adverse manifestations of the external environment. This leads to fragility, flaking and fragility of the nail plate.
Moreover, removing the cuticle stimulates its growth. In order to harm the nail less, it is worth giving preference to a combined manicure or pushing back the cuticle, which just needs to be softened with a special tool (remover). Then delete.
3. Sawing the nail plate
Before filing a nail, you need to make sure that the file has been selected correctly. Preferred are fine-grained models (400-900 grit), which are much less harmful to the nail, without disturbing its structure. Coarse-grained and metal files cause natural nails to flake and even break. To perform manicure at home, it is better to choose glass, crystal and ceramic types of files - they are easy to clean, sterilize and are durable.
As for the filing itself, all movements should be made in one direction only. Filing the nail with sweeping movements without a specific direction will harm the nail in its structure. If you do not repeat these mistakes, you can preserve the beauty and health of your nails.
