Our team of therapists are highly skilled and perform top-class nail services, including the trending Russian Nail Master technique. Our 6 top tips for healthy nails below will help you get the most out of your manicure, and enjoy strong, healthy, and most importantly, beautiful nails.
- Keep your nails clean and dry.
We all know to wash our hands frequently to stop the spread of germs, but cleaning also prevents dirt and bacteria from accumulating under your nails. Moisture can cause nail problems such as fungal infections, so always dry your hands and nails thoroughly after washing.
- Eat a balanced diet.
Weak nails could be a sign of vitamin deficiency. Increasing your consumption of foods high in biotin such as eggs, nuts, seeds, spinach, salmon, and avocado helps promote nail growth and contribute to strong, healthy nails.
- Care for your cuticles.
Your cuticles play an important role in nail health. They act as a barrier, preventing bacteria and fungus from slipping between the skin and nails. Avoid picking, biting, or cutting your cuticles on your own. Instead, moisturize them with a cuticle oil and see a skilled manicurist.
- Moisturize your hands and nails regularly.
Just as you would moisturize your face before going to bed, it is recommended to do the same for your hands and nails. Dry, dehydrated nails are more likely to peel and split, but also, massaging the oil or cream into your nails can help to stimulate blood circulation to encourage healthy nail growth.
- Avoid harsh chemicals.
Exposure to harsh chemicals, such as cleaning products, can damage your nails. It is recommended to wear gloves when doing household chores such as washing dishes or cleaning to protect your nails from contact with water and harsh cleaning agents.
- Visit a professional nail salon regularly.
Regular visits to a professional nail salon, like The Lunatic Fringe, can make a significant difference to the health and appearance of your nails. Our expert technicians use high-quality nail products that are safe and effective, while trimming your nails regularly and properly to prevent them from breaking or splitting. It is also important to have any gel polish or acrylic products removed professionally, rather than picking them off yourself, to prevent damaging the nail.
