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

Hybrid manicure is a popular method of nail decoration. Its advantages include durability, resistance to scratches and damage, and an aesthetically pleasing appearance for up to three weeks. Unfortunately, the long-term use of this method can cause nails to become brittle and soft due to improper polish removal.

Choose reputable salons to avoid deteriorating the condition of your nails after a hybrid manicure and minimise the risk of damage. Do not attempt to do it yourself at home, as it's easy to cause mechanical injuries.

How to care for nails after a hybrid manicure?

Poor nail condition can be caused by excessive nail filing, using sharp tools, or removing cuticles too deeply. Oils (such as argan or castor), creams, or specialised conditioners can help in the regeneration process. Use them systematically, and you will quickly see the first results. Avoid products with formaldehyde to prevent drying out the nails.

Don't wear "bare nails"

Consistent 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 not a good 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, for example, to wear gloves when cleaning. This way, you will avoid contact with detergents.
