Your natural nails can stay healthy even with regular extensions — the key is proper care and removal.
Don’t pick them off
Picking off gel/acrylic is the main cause of thinning and damaged nails. Always remove professionally with proper soaking.
Care for nails & cuticles
- Apply cuticle oil daily for moisture.
- Get enough protein & biotin for strong nails.
- Avoid using your nails as “tools” (prying, opening cans).
After removal
Give extra moisture and, if needed, use a strengthening base for a few days before the next application.
