The different types of nail damage
Understanding the specific types of nail damage can help you identify the underlying issues and choose the right solution for your clients.
Here are some common types of damaged nails:
Brittle Nails: Brittle nails are prone to splitting, cracking, and breaking easily. They are often caused by a lack of moisture and essential nutrients, excessive use of nail products, and frequent exposure to water or harsh chemicals.
Weak Nails: Weak nails are characterised by their thin, soft, and easily bendable nature. This type of damage can be caused by improper nail care, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, and even certain medical conditions.
Peeling Nails: Peeling nails refer to the condition where the layers of the nail plate separate or peel away. This can result from excessive use of nail polish removers, repetitive exposure to water, and using harsh nail products.
Damaged Cuticles: Cuticles play a crucial role in protecting the nail bed, but they can become damaged due to harsh treatment, excessive pushing or cutting, or exposure to harsh chemicals. Damaged cuticles can lead to weak and unhealthy nails.
Split Nails: Split nails occur when the nail plate splits vertically or horizontally. They can be caused by trauma, excessive use of nail tools, nutritional deficiencies, or even genetic factors.
Discoloured Nails: Nails that are yellow, brown, or have other discolouration can indicate underlying issues such as fungal infections, smoking, or prolonged use of dark-coloured nail polishes.
Identifying the type of damaged nails you have can help you choose the appropriate treatment and preventive measures to restore their health and beauty. The First Ever Bond-Building Nail Serum from OPI is specifically formulated to address these different types of nail damage, providing a comprehensive solution for the nail care needs of your clients.
