Weak and brittle nails are a common problem that many people face. Various factors, such as environmental stress, an unhealthy diet, or simply genetic predisposition, can lead to nails losing their strength and breaking easily. However, with the right manicure techniques, you can strengthen your nails and restore a healthy, robust appearance. In this article, we introduce the best techniques we use at MONLIS Studio to care for and protect weak and brittle nails.
1. Filing Instead of Cutting
Properly filing your nails is a crucial step in maintaining their health. Instead of cutting the nails, we recommend gently filing them. Use a fine-grit file to avoid cracks and breaks. Always file the nails in one direction to preserve the nail structure and minimize the risk of splitting.
2. Strengthening Nail Polishes and Base Coats
Applying special strengthening nail polishes and base coats can significantly contribute to reinforcing your nails. These products contain ingredients like keratin, biotin, and vitamins that nourish and fortify the nail plate. At MONLIS Studio, we use only high-quality polishes that not only beautify the nails but also strengthen them in the long term.
3. Regular Oil Massages
Massaging nail oils into the nail plate and cuticles is an effective way to nourish the nails and provide moisture. Nail oils rich in vitamins and nutrients promote nail growth and prevent them from becoming dry and brittle. We recommend performing this treatment at least once a week for optimal results.
4. Using Nail Hardeners
Nail hardeners are specially developed products that help strengthen the nail structure and prevent nails from breaking. These products create a protective layer on the nail plate, making the nail more resilient. At MONLIS Studio, we offer various types of nail hardeners tailored to our clients' individual needs.
5. Gentle Manicure Techniques
A gentle and careful manicure is especially important for weak and brittle nails. Aggressive techniques, such as cutting the cuticles or using sharp tools, can further weaken the nails. At MONLIS Studio, we prioritize gentle care that respects and strengthens the natural structure of the nails.
6. Nutrition and Supplements
In addition to external care, proper nutrition also plays a crucial role in nail health. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can promote nail growth and strengthen the nails. Specifically, biotin, zinc, and iron are essential for strong nails. Supplements can also help correct deficiencies and support nail health.
7. Protection from Environmental Factors
Weak and brittle nails require special protection from harmful environmental factors. Avoid direct contact with harsh chemicals by wearing gloves during housework. Extreme temperatures can also dry out and weaken nails, so it's advisable to keep nails well-maintained and protected from cold and heat.
8. Regular Professional Manicures
A regular professional manicure can help strengthen nails and keep them healthy over time. Our experienced nail technicians at MONLIS Studio know exactly which techniques and products are best suited for your nails. Regular care allows us to detect and address problems early before they worsen.
