September 6th, Tip Tuesday?
In today's episode of Tip Tuesday, we're diving into a common nl care myth that many clients and nl techs might believe - My nls need to breathe. Let’s bust this misconception once and for all.
The Common Belief: You've heard it countless times, from clients as well as fellow nl artists. The idea is that our nls are like tiny lungs in need of fresh r.
The Truth: In reality, nls do not have lungs, and therefore they don't require breathing. The misconception arises due to the misunderstanding of how nls function compared to living organisms. Instead, what supports your nls' health lies beneath them – a part of the nl anatomy often referred to as the Matrix.
The Matrix, located at the base where the nl grows outwards from, plays a crucial role in your nl's lifecycle. It's not just about breathing; it’s where new nl cells are produced and pushed upwards by keratin-producing cells below the cuticle. This process ensures that your nls grow healthily without needing to 'breathe'.
Client Perception: Clients might believe nls need 'breath' as a metaphor for the importance of keeping nls dry, avoiding moisture which they often associate with bacterial growth or fungus.
Nl Technician Insight: As nl technicians, you've likely heard clients mention needing their nls to breathe in this context. Their concern stems from wanting to prevent damage caused by prolonged exposure to water and humidity, a common issue among those working in professions requiring frequent hand washing.
Understanding that nls do not 'breathe' offers clarity on the necessity of dryness for nl health versus its perceived need for oxygenation. Instead, focus on promoting healthy nl habits such as regular manicures, mntning hands clean and moisturized, and addressing any potential sources of moisture build-up in clients’ dly routines.
Join us next week for another episode of Tip Tuesday, where we'll explore more common myths about nls debunked. , your insights not only enrich the knowledge base but also enhance the client experience at your salon!
