Pro Nail Care & Health Tips for the Busy School Season
Balancing lectures, carrying heavy textbooks, and typing on laptops can place extra stress on your hands and nails. Keep your set durable and healthy with these expert habits:
- Hydrate On-The-Go: Keep a travel-sized cuticle oil pen or nourishing hand lotion in your backpack. Applying it daily prevents hangnails and protects your cuticles from dry, air-conditioned classrooms.
- Type with Your Fingertip Pads: When typing notes on keyboards or tablets, use the pads of your fingers rather than your nail tips to prevent tension fractures and accidental chipping.
- Never Peel Lifting Overlays: If your gel begins to lift during exam week, resist the urge to peel or scrape it off. Peeling strips away natural keratin layers; visit our salon for a gentle, professional soak-off.
