How to restore nail health post-hybrid manicure

After a hybrid manicure, nails can often be in poor condition. Many women notice that they become soft and brittle. Therefore, it is most important to ensure proper care. How can you strengthen the nail plate?

Hybrid manicures are a popular method of nail decoration. Their advantages include durability, resistance to scratches and damage, and an aesthetic appearance of nails for up to three weeks. Unfortunately, long-term use of this method can cause nails to become brittle and soft due to improper polish removal.

Choose reputable salons to minimize the risk of damage and prevent the condition of your nails from deteriorating after a hybrid manicure. Avoid doing it yourself at home, as it's easy to cause mechanical injuries.

Excessive nail filing, using sharp tools, or removing cuticles too deeply can cause poor nail condition. During regeneration, oils (e.g., argan or castor), creams, or specialized conditioners can help. Use them systematically, and you will quickly see the first results. Avoid products with formaldehyde to prevent drying out the nails.

Constant use of hybrid polishes can dry out the nails and block air access, which promotes brittleness and splitting. Therefore, it is sometimes worth taking a break from hybrid manicures.

Beautiful nails are primarily healthy and strong nail plates. Applying a conditioner as a protective shield during a break from hybrid manicures. "Bare nails" after removing hybrids is a poor choice. Weakened nails are more prone to damage. Proper conditioner will seal the nail surface, strengthen it, and add shine. It also prepares nails for future styling. During this time, remember to wear gloves when cleaning to avoid contact with detergents.
