To maintain the healthy natural nails is not as perplexed as many of us think. As with hair, nails are generally healthiest in their natural level, just require a bit of nail polish to protect and regular applications of some natural creams as moisturizers.

As the matter of fact, many opine that to use natural nail strengtheners that chemically crosslink the nails’ plate, is actually not a good idea. Although, they do make nails more fixed, they also turn them less flexible and hence, more prone to break on slightest blow. It is actually very essential that nails are kept flexed and moist.

Very frequent nail splitting also points dehydration. In such cases, drinking more fluids and using oil formulated to penetrate the nail plate is advised. The entire procedure should then followed by some moisturizing creams.

By nature, the long nails and pointed nails are feebler than normal shaped nails and therefore require special care. In such cases, several coats of nail hardening agent might help minimizing, chipping and peeling of the nails enamel. The idea is to find something protecting and moisturizing. Nail hardening agents with nylon fibers are considered to be effective.

Another important nail care tip is not to use nail polish so frequently. This is because regular usage of nail polish causes a yellowing discoloration of the nails. This might not be considered as damaging, but is indeed to be kept in mind if one prefers the natural look though use color from time-to-time.

The beautiful nails

Healthy nails are crystal clear and appear pinkish in color as a result of the blood underneath them. If one wears nail polish on a regular basis then, taking them off for a day or two each week is not a bad idea since it lets the nails breath!

To have beautiful nails, one can add shining to them by massaging coconut oil or warm castor oil once in two to three days. Do this with cotton ball.

There are many women who do not like nail polish and for them, application of dry soap to the nail and buff or using lemon peel offers similar results.

One should dip a cotton-tipped swab in hydrogen peroxide for cleaning under the nails and whitening them.

For any woman, seeking great and sexy nails, before undergoing any manicure, dipping the nails in a cup of lukewarm water that is added with one tbsp of lemon juice makes the therapy more powerful and effective.

One can put the fingertips in ½ a lemon and twist the fingers back and forth for cleansing the cuticles and nails in harmless way.

Most practiced nail care tips:

1. One should never clip their nails for shortening them. Instead, one can go for an emery board for file nail down to desired sizes.
   
2. Try to apply a top coat almost everyday to help protecting the tips.
   
3. Go for a nail polish remover as infrequent as possible – particularly those that contain acetone. Most of the nail polish removers dry-out the nail. Many specialists opine one should use nail polish removers not more than once in a week.
   
4. One should not peel or scrape off nail polish or use any metal instrument onto the nail surface for pushing back the cuticle. This scraps off the protective cell of the nails’ surface.
   
5. Quit the habit of nail biting if you have any! This is very destructive for both; the nails and the cuticles and can end up in infections that can really deform the nails.
   
6. Very appropriate time to undergo any sort of manicure is after having a shower or bath. Such activities help removing dirt present under the nails as well as soften the rigid nails.
   
7. The cuticles protect the nail root from bacteria and other harmful organisms. Instead of cutting the cuticles, push them back softly with a rosewood stick or rubber-tipped pushers. Nevertheless, should the cuticles be hard and drier and sticking up, somewhat trimming it is excusable, but never go for removing the entire structure. Strong cuticles growth can be kept under control with the help of cuticle softeners or cuticle removing liquids.
