I can't believe you have received comments about your nails looking dirty. They look very well manicured, oiled and moisturised. And how rude to make such remarks🙄

@TheSalonLife Год назад

Many, many. I simple delete these comments because who needs this kind of negativity. Then I had this person ask me kindly that my nails look a little dirty and they are probably not and she was curious why, so I decided to make this video... and I'm honestly starting to feel a little self conscious about my nails 😝

@xpresson6338 Год назад

@The Salon Life oh no Anna please don't. I just think people don't understand/ know how nails that handle creams and oil on a regular basis look like. When I was oiling my nails all the time they got a little like how yours look. I think your nails look beautiful and very well looked after. I have seen many nail techs whose hands look very messy. You shouldn't feel self conscious about them. Big hugs and you do an amazing job BTW.

Well, if people think your nails are dirty then that reinforces the fact that these videos are needed, you're doing good work. I have an old child's toothbrush for cleaning under my nails, I've always felt the ones that are sold as actual nail brushes were way too harsh.

@missmochiicecream Год назад

I have an extended hyponychium on every finger except for my thumbs from what I assume to be aggressive biting during my younger adult years. It's nice to see a video addressing it (took forever to even figure out what to call it) because it can be frustrating and painful to deal with, especially if you're like me and you like to keep your nails short. Definitely learned a few things from this video. :) Thanks Anna! I recommend your channel to all my friends who ask about nail care.

@Notperfecttonya Год назад

Thank you for this video, Anna! I have scraped that hyponychium off too many times and I see now it’s causing nail separation. I’m so happy with all I’m learning! ❤

@makennamcelwee8909 Год назад

This is actually a very helpful video for me! I have always naturally had a rather dark onychodermal band (I didn’t know it had a name previously) and wondered why. When I was younger, I truly always thought my nails looked dirty so I always kept them very short so it wasn’t noticeable!

Thank You so much for this video. My nails are gradually improving thanks to Your advice, but the constant, rushed scraping out the real and perceived dirt from underneath the free edge while at work is keeping the nailbeds very short. I'll try to figure out how to manage that in the times between proper hand washing. Thank You again for all Your work in educating us :)

Your nails are so nice looking. I’ve been following your videos for a year now. I have learned a lot from you. I have always liked natural nails. The type that still needs a lot of care and attention, but natural. My nails have looked better than I ever imagined they could… HOWEVER… I have relapsed. I’m picking at the skin around my nails. Biting my nails and skin. I have one good nail on one hand and three on the other. They hurt and I hide them again. I think my mindset gets the best of me sometimes and my nails get abused. Keep up your beautiful work!

@rebeccajordan4491 Год назад

I was just wondering about cleaning my nails! I’ve been following your advice with AMAZING results, and I’m experiencing the elongation of the nail beds that you talk about. I’ve always been a pretty aggressive nail cleaner, but it suddenly occurred to me that maybe that could be contributing to my short nail beds. No more scraping! Also, I have a MIRACLE to report: I was moving some furniture this weekend and chipped a nail. But that was all that happened! A tiny little chip came off and then I filed it smooth. This is a miracle, because prior to this, any damage to the free edge of my nails would result in losing the entire free edge. It would fold, break, snap off or tear off, and leave shredded bits that I would pick off all the way to the hyponichium or beyond. But this time, just a tiny chip came off and the rest of the free edge remained perfectly intact. I credit the warm oil soaks and using oil with almost every hand wash.

I still have a skin picking disorder where i cant stop myself from picking at any imperfections i see or feel, so unless i wear opaque gel i can stop over cleaning the underneet. At least nowhadays i do it cleanly with proper tools and not my teeths.

Hii anna as you previously told I tried a hypoallergenic brand and still developed that drying feeling. So yeah I tried putting a press on nails on my thumb only and painted the other nails. Maybe I'll go for a test to see what I am allergic to

@TheSalonLife Год назад

Hello, hypoallergenic products are less likely cause allergic reaction. But once you are allergic you probably, actually, usually develop reaction to even hypoallergenic products. That is why it is so important to avoid getting overexposed to these products.

I am curious to know if this will get everything out. I also do gardening and I wear gloves, I still always have so much soil and things under my nails. I don't keep my nails very long at all. Just wondering if you would suggest anything different for people that have a job or hobby that keep the underneath of the nails dirty. Thanks for your time

Hi Alesha! Thank you for writing! I would say keep your nails short and shorten them weekly. After a shower just use a gentle toothbrush to clean them

@SandraHof Год назад

Thank you for the information. After watching one of your other videos, I was going to order Kerasal from iHerb in the US. But I have lived in Poland for nearly 10 years. Did you say there is a product in Poland that is the exact same thing as Kerasal? Again, what is the name of it? I could not quite catch it on the video. I wanted to try it. I am 67 years old and have had Hashimoto’s Disease for about 13-15 years. That came shortly after completing menopause at age 52 and it totally changed my skin and nails. Getting older has not helped.😅

@TheSalonLife Год назад

Hello Sandra! Yes, the product in Poland is called Hasceral. So sorry to hear about your health issues.

A gentle toothbrush! That's a great idea. I am always afraid that the nail scrubbing brush I use is too strong. I also get dirt collecting along the sides of my nails, which is impossible to get out from the sides if not using a sharp tool (which I don't do). Any tips for that side area that holds dirt/oxidized keratin? It's one reason I can't really wear sheer colors.

@Sarah.Riedel Год назад

I've come to realize I need to use a more gentle tool when cleaning underneath my nails, especially by the corners of the nail, as I am still early on in the process of growing out my thin, peeling nails and the corners especially are very fragile and prone to breaking. When I use a bamboo stick or other hard tool to clean underneath there, it sort of acts like a lever and applies a lot of force to this tiny corner of keratin, so a soft brush I think would be much gentler.

@smg.1500 Год назад

When i wash dishes etc my nails gets transparent for weeks. But i don't think detergent gives my nails moist as you said. Shouldn't it make my nails more dry? Btw i love your content and sorry for my English❤️

@MildExplosion 4 месяца назад

A lot of detergents are aggressive with removing oils so I think over time it would strip away the protection of your nails and make them more porous to water. I find dehydrating my nails with rubbing alcohol, on top and underneath takes the transparency away after a shower or cleaning. Follow up with a good nail oil so they stay flexible 😊

@KellieGonzales Год назад

I consistently dig under my nails to get rid of any semblance of “dirt” and now I’m thinking this might be why I get the white spots in my nails wherever they’re exposed to water for a long time. The spots turn into peels and the nail breaks eventually. Maybe if I stop doing that they will be sealed off and more protected? It’s either the peels or tape gloves on wherever I wash my hair right now ugh 😢

@TheSalonLife Год назад

Are the white spots on top of the nail plate?

@TheSalonLife Год назад

I think using gloves and taping them to wash hair is not necessary. I never do that. Maybe if the nails are super damaged? It's important to treat the nails gently when they are wet and about an hour later. To improve the condition of the nails I suggest warm oil soaks ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-io335eWf6R4.html

I will try stopping scraping under the nail and the warm oil soaks. I already oil my nails multiple times per day with high quality oils, so it's been frustrating to have this problem.

@KellieGonzales Год назад

So it's been 3 months since I've dug under my nails and basically decimated the skin beneath them. AND I've had literally NO peeling! An unfortunate break so they're short right now, but it wasn't due to the formerly usual reason they would break and I'm ecstatic! THANK YOU!!

I have a different problem because that dark line IS dirt! I can scrape it out with my nails, an orangewood stick or if I spend a good few minutes with a nail brush. My problem is it returns within an hour, even if I'm not working with my hands, just watching TV or something 😢 It's a grey oily dirt. I think because I fidget so much I just end up playing with random objects, scratching itchy skin (eczema) or playing with my hair? I never get nail infections or anything but it feels unhygienic to be walking around with dirty hands, and of course it looks nasty. My nails are thin so probably why it's so noticable too. I tried having them very clean and dry, then putting base coat or polish underneath, but it just disintegrates within a day. I don't want to try gel because of the cost and risk of allergy... I want to be a cute natural nail girlie but it's just not in the cards, I think the no-free-edge life is choosing me 😂

@TheSalonLife 4 месяца назад

Yes in this case it’s good to keep the nails very short and clean them with a soft toothbrush and gentle soap.

Could you possibly tell about kids nails care? What is safe to use and do?

@TheSalonLife Год назад

Generally I don't recommend anything special for the kinds because usually they don't have dry skin and now this is my personal stance on the issue but I would let kids be kids without worrying to much about appearance and "image". Any enhancement products can be allergenic over time so I would not recommend it, same with polish really. Polishes do not really stick well to kids nails because kids nails are very flexible usually and moist. If someone wants to polish their kids nails once in a blue moon any polish is OK, you don't need anything special. I mean obviously don't let them eat it or drink it.

@annash3326 Год назад

@@TheSalonLife Thank you for answering :-) I was asking just because my 5 yo daughter constantly has overgrown "cuticle", that also tends to peeling. Sometimes it even causes an infection. So, just wondering if it's ok to use some urea cream and wooden stick for kids.

@TheSalonLife Год назад

Hello Anna, OK, I know what you are talking about. It's not overgrown cuticle but living skin, so the skin fold around the nail gets stuck to the nail and as the nail grows it lets go and it tears sometimes. This can also happen when kids keep their fingers in their mouths because saliva has some enzymes that break down or irritate the skin. I would suggest lanolin based cream, like a nipple cream or Bephanten. I wouldn't be using any tools really. See if applying the cream helps and keep the fingers away from the mouth :)

@annash3326 Год назад

@@TheSalonLife Thank you! I, actually, haven't even thought about lanolin. Good idea. She never puts her fingers into her mouth, but keeps picking the peeling skin. Hope that a cream will help :)

Hahaha I also wondered about this but figured it was because of your genetics 🤔

Look for synthetically derived urea, it's becoming much more common in skincare products and is chemically identical to natural urea :)

@@TheSalonLife Urea when naturally derived is harvested from animals, usually horses, who are kept in factory farm conditions - but cosmetics are sometimes using lab-created urea these days, the problem is it's not usually labelled.

@mildexplosion No, the urea found in cosmetics and personal care products is synthetic and not animal derived www.cosmeticsinfo.org/ingredient/urea/

“Urea is a major component of the urine of mammals. So it's not surprising that some people wonder if the urea in cosmetic comes from urine. In commercial cosmetics, urea is made synthetically in a lab. Synthetic urea is also commonly added to baked goods and wines to help with fermentation.” www.healthline.com/health/beauty-skin-care/urea-in-lotion
