Damaged nails

[Dannie123]

Can someone please give me some advice on the best products/treatments to repair very thin, damaged and fragile nails.

Thanks

You can't repair damaged nails, the damage needs to grow out and this can take upto 9 months from cuticle to free edge. You can use a nail strengthener (not hardener) or use a non buff Gel Polish range like CND Shellac to help support them as they grow. You could also try IBX but personally I experienced lots if breakage after IBX on my naturally thin, ridged nails.

Why are they damaged in the first place?

Ibx is good I have started using it ....but keep the nails short...cuticle oil....lots for dry nails I find helps x

Thank you for your reply. They are damaged due to client removing gel, or acrylics herself.
