Unedged manicure

In search of the best ideas for the care of their nails, the modern woman is increasingly turning to unedged manicure. This trend is now gaining momentum in its popularity and crowding out the usual trimming technique due to the exclusion of skin trauma during the processing of nails. What is it, what are the advantages and disadvantages, how to perform an uncut technique and what is needed for this - the material of this article will tell.

Unedged manicure is a real find for women with a constant lack of free time. In fact, this method is a hygienic manicure technique that does not use any cutting tools during the removal of dead cells of the cuticle. It would seem that this is impossible in principle, but the method itself proves the opposite. No scissors or nail clippers are used with her.

In the process, use special tools that soothe the skin and help remove the cuticle painlessly. In addition, they slow down its growth and simplify the retreat. The difference between trimming and non-trimming techniques lies in the fact that the second technique does not touch the root of the nail, and therefore it grows even and smooth.

Unedged manicure is called European, since it originates in Europe. There, it has been used by modern women for a long time; we are perfectly mastered by the masters of the nail service. However, this method is much better than the usual trimming technique.

• With regular execution of simple manipulations, you can get rid of such a common problem as an instantly expanding terry cuticle.
• In the process of work, it is not necessary to cut off the excess skin to the meat; it is enough to push the cuticle with a special stick after preliminary preparation of the skin.
• The technique is safe, it does not traumatize the skin, does not cause any redness, much less infections that may appear during a cut manicure. At the same time, it is possible to carry out the treatment of the hands with or without softening through the bath. Due to the lack of cutting tools, you can not be afraid of the formation of burrs: they simply will not.
• The technique is quite simple, for its development do not need special knowledge and tools. No need for expensive cosmetics for further care.

However, unedged manicure has its drawbacks.

• For example, one of them can be called the duration of the transition. For example, sometimes it takes up to several months to completely switch from trimming to non-edging. And the matter here can complicate the rather rigid and dense cuticle, which is typical with frequent cutting techniques.
• You need to be prepared for the fact that after the first procedure, burrs may appear. This is also bad, but after the transition is completed, they will not appear on women's hands anymore.
• In addition, you will have to take care of your hands regularly, which may be prevented by elementary laziness at the initial stage of transition.
• Sometimes the effect may not be noticeable from the first procedure, which can upset the client.
• The important point is the fact that this technique is especially good for the fair sex, who have very delicate and thin skin.

To date There are two main options for performing unedged manicure. In the first case, the nails do not soak at all, in the second, baths with warm water are used.

• The first technique is called the dry method. It is inconvenient because in some cases it may be accompanied by an allergic reaction of the skin to the substances used.
• Wet technology option today is more common. In the process of preliminary softening and steaming in warm water, it is possible to prepare a hard cuticle better.
• In addition to the two standard techniques, there are also hot uncut techniqueusing a special lotion.

Considering that a standard manicure kit is not needed here, It is necessary to prepare for unedged equipment:

• nail file;
• cotton pads;
• special cuticle stick (made of wood, metal or silicone);
• cuticle softening gel (remuver);
• oil or pencil that strengthens the nails and slows the growth of the cuticle.

As for the nail file, you can use glass, ceramic or paper with mineral sputtering. In addition, in the work, you can use what we used to apply for soaking hands and decorative coatings if you plan to make up your nails immediately after the uncut technique. You can prepare and bath with warm soapy water, disposable paper towels and hand cream. Also in the work can be useful special wax.

As for the liquid to remove the cuticle, it is preferable to use tools based on fruit or lactic acids. In addition, it is important to select substances that contain esters or plant extracts. Such drugs do not harm the nails and skin, have a sparing effect. If we talk about a better nail file, then choose a glass or ceramic (enough for a longer period). It is also worth preparing a soft grinder or buff. With it, it is easier to correct irregularities.

After the woman is determined with the type of unedged manicure, you can proceed to its implementation. Every woman can do such a manicure at home. Let us consider step by step the basic or classical dry-type technique for beginners, which will clearly demonstrate how quickly and simply to make a high-quality manicure for yourself.

• If the nails have an old coating, start with it, removing the varnish using a special liquid without acetone. Such a tool will eliminate the fragility and delamination of nail plates. You can choose the option with the content of caring oils or vitamins. After that, you need to do nails, giving them the same shape and length. Do this through nail files exclusively on dry nails.

• Returning to the technique of dry manicure, proceed to applying to the area around the nail plate a special gel to remove the skin. Depending on the variety, the exposure time is different for each product, and therefore it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the manufacturer’s instructions before use.We can not allow the gel was on the nails longer than the allotted time. On average, you can start working within 30 seconds or a minute after applying the drug.
• Excess gel is removed with a cotton pad, then an orange stick is taken and the nail is processed. She gently pushes the cuticle and removes the softened film at the base of the nail. The skin will be easy enough to separate when working with a stick. After processing each nail, it is important to clean the stick from dead skin.
• Work can start from the center at the base of the nail, gradually moving to the edges. It is important to first remove the cuticle, and then gradually remove the dead skin. Pull back the cuticle is important to the very base of the nail. After removing the skin, the oil should be applied to the cuticle, which slows down its growth. It is rubbed not only into the skin at the base, but also into the nail itself.
• You can not apply means to remove the cuticle on all nails at once, so as not to overdo it. Processing should be carried out in turn on each nail, not forgetting to remove the remains of the cuticle by washing hands in soapy water. On average, 20 seconds is enough to get rid of remuver residues. After washing their hands, wipe them dry and begin to polish the nails with a soft grinder.

• The final stage of work involves the application of moisturizing oil in place of the removed cuticle. The product is rubbed into the nails with delicate movements. Someone uses wax for sealing. If, after unedged manicure, you need to apply a decorative coating, it is important to remove all the particles of fat left after the treatment of the nails with oils or cream.

When processing the edge with a nail file, it is important to try to perform movements with the tool in one direction. If you drive the file back and forth, it can lead to delamination of the nail on the end. In addition, it can cause a quick splitting off of the decorative coating.

If there are burrs or other skin imperfections on the side rollers, you can use a file or grinder to remove them. However, this can be done only in the case of the dry method. To speed up the transition from trimming techniques and skin healing, you can use special caring for cuticle oils.

After you have done an unedged manicure, you must not forget to care for your nails, accelerating the transition from one technique to another.

• To do this, you can move the cuticle after a bath or shower. This process will impede its rapid growth. When it appears, do not use tweezers, it is better to use a wooden stick.
• In addition, we should not forget about the emollient oil, which needs to be rubbed into the nails themselves, accelerating their growth by improving blood flow. If the side rollers are just beginning to appear burrs, they should immediately be fought by sawing. If everything is done on time, soon there will be no burrs at all.

Unedged manicure is considered a rather controversial topic for discussion, as evidenced by women's reviews on the forums of sites dedicated to nail design and methods of caring for them. As for the masters, they switch to this method of nail treatment and consider it more relevant today. However, clients are not yet ready to completely abandon the classic cut manicure, calling it more attractive from an aesthetic point of view.
