The extended nails look very beautiful, but after removing them, you need to start restoring the injured nail plate. Most recovery techniques can be easily applied both at home and in the salon. The extended nails look very beautiful, but there is one main drawback of this procedure - the natural nail plate under a layer of acrylic or gel deteriorates badly. The fact is that the development of a special layer, which plays a protective role, stops.
Home treatments to strengthen injured nails
With just a little effort, you can easily strengthen your nails after building up at home. After removing the artificial covering, the natural nail becomes very thin, so it needs to be trimmed until the new one grows back completely.
Special means
At home, you can use special varnishes and other coatings that have a strengthening and restorative effect on the nail plate. You can use products that are applied in the morning and removed in the evening so that the nail can rest. There are other coatings that need to be left on for a while. However, it is worth remembering that most of these products cannot be used for more than two weeks.
Revitalizing baths
A bath with the addition of sea salt will help to quickly and effectively restore nails. This procedure is very useful - a teaspoon of salt (only sea salt) and a few drops of lemon juice are added to warm water. Instead of juice, you can use your favorite aromatic oil.
In warm water, you need to lower your fingertips and leave for about 15 minutes, then rub your hands dry with massage movements. It is useful during this procedure to use a couple of drops of sea buckthorn or peach oil.
Oil baths are no less effective. In this case, you need to take the base oil and heat it, while adding a few drops of lemon juice or castor oil, and the same amount of iodine. The total duration of the procedure is about 15 minutes, and after its completion, perform a light massage of fingers and hands. The berry bath helps to quickly restore the injured nails after the extension. Here you can use several methods - take the berries and knead to a mushy consistency, then apply for a few minutes on the nail plate. You can use another method - the berries are ground and the fingertips are dipped into the resulting mass for 10 minutes. After the berry juice, the nails may become stained, but do not worry, as everything will be washed off soon.
Potatoes for nail restoration
No less effective is such a folk remedy as potatoes. You need to take boiled potatoes and mash until you get mashed potatoes. The resulting mass is applied to the nail plate (warm, but not hot potatoes should be used). Polyethylene gloves are put on top of the handles. This compress will need to be held until the potatoes have completely cooled. Then the handles are washed with warm water, and any nourishing cream is applied.
Potato broth, which can be used for baths, also has a positive effect on the damaged nail plate. Provided that such a restorative procedure is performed regularly, the nails will soon acquire a healthy look.
