The dry or “non-invasive” manicure, often called a dry manicure, has become increasingly popular in modern beauty salons. Unlike classic manicures that often involve cutting the cuticles, the dry version focuses on gentle care without cutting or applying polish. But how often should you get this treatment to achieve the best results? MONLIS Studio provides the answers.
What Is a Dry Manicure Without Polish?
In a dry manicure, the cuticles are not cut but gently pushed back and, if necessary, softly removed using a gentle drill or tool. Nails are shaped with a file, polished, and treated with nourishing oils. Colored polish or gel is intentionally avoided, letting the natural beauty of the nails take center stage.
Benefits of Regular Dry Manicures
Healthier Nails: Avoiding aggressive cutting keeps the cuticle intact, preventing infections.
Naturally Groomed Look: Nails appear clean, shiny, and well-maintained even without color.
Stronger Nails: Regular care with oils and serums strengthens the nail plate and reduces brittleness.
Relaxation and Self-Care: A manicure is not just about grooming but also about taking time for yourself.
How Often Should You Get a Dry Manicure Without Polish?
According to the experts at MONLIS Studio, the ideal frequency depends on individual factors, but general recommendations are:
Every 2 Weeks: For most clients, a 14-day cycle is optimal. During this time, nails and cuticles grow enough to benefit from gentle professional care.
Weekly: For clients with very fast-growing nails or cuticles, or for those with special demands (e.g., events or public appearances), weekly treatments can be beneficial.
Every Month: If you consistently care for your nails at home, a professional session every 3–4 weeks may suffice for a refresh.
What Factors Influence the Recommended Frequency?
Several factors matter:
Nail Type and Health: Brittle or heavily used nails benefit from more frequent treatments.
Lifestyle: People who work a lot with their hands or play sports may need more frequent touch-ups.
At-Home Care: Those who regularly care for their nails with oils at home can sometimes stretch the time between salon visits.
MONLIS Studio Tips Between Appointments
Apply nail and cuticle oil regularly.
Avoid excessive contact with water or cleaning agents without gloves.
Gently file small uneven edges yourself if needed.
Use a protective clear coat (like a nail hardener) if desired.
The dry manicure without polish is not just a trend but a sustainable way to keep natural nails healthy and beautiful. MONLIS Studio recommends treating yourself to a professional session about every two weeks, adjusted to your lifestyle and nail needs. This way, your hands and nails will always remain an elegant, well-cared-for highlight.
