Acrylic Nails: Damaging or Not?
The Truth Behind Nail Damage
Contrary to popular belief, acrylic nails themselves are not inherently damaging to natural nails. It is the process of removing them improperly that can cause harm.
Proper Removal Techniques
Soak and File
The safest method of acrylic nail removal is to soak them in pure acetone and gently file away the softened acrylic.
Avoid Cutting or Peeling
Never cut or peel off acrylic nails, as this can tear away layers of your natural nail and cause permanent damage.
DIY Removal Tips
If you're removing acrylics at home, use a cotton ball soaked in acetone and wrap it around your nails for 15-20 minutes. Gently file away the dissolved acrylic.
