for women who love beauty. All kinds of colors and patterns on the top of the nail not only look beautiful, but also the whole person feels a lot more fashionable in an instant. In addition to knowing the pattern on the top of the nail, how much do we know about the nail? Let’s follow Xiaobian to see how to maintain nail health?
1. The composition of nails and hair is very similar.
experts say that nails are composed of layers of keratin, which is very similar to the composition of hair. In fact, the surface of our body is also covered with a thin layer of keratin, the thickest of which are the palms and soles of our feet. What’s the difference between our nails, hair and skin? Nails and hair contain more cysteine than skin, which makes the connection between cells stronger and stronger.
in addition, nails also have a small amount of water and fat, and keratin often falls off on the skin surface (nails do not). I didn’t expect that the components of nails and hair, which look completely different, are so similar. It’s amazing!
2. Nails grow faster in high temperature environment
relevant experts say that when people live in a relatively hot environment, the growth rate of nails will become faster. Why did this happen? In fact, the nail contains a lot of vitamin D, which causes the nail to grow quickly under the promotion of the sun.
3. Stop exfoliating
experts say: Although many manicurists will wear off your cuticle, those cuticle can protect you from bacterial infection! If you trim the cuticle too much, it is tantamount to opening the barrier to protect the body, indirectly allowing moisture and bacteria to enter, leading to infection, pain or swelling, and even nail deformation when you finally grow nails.
4. The nails of habitual hands grow faster
when cutting nails, if you are right-handed, do you find that the nails of your right hand are a little longer? This is because the habitual hand moves more often, resulting in faster blood circulation and faster nail growth. Want the left nail to catch up with the right nail? Now start shaking your left hand!
5. Going to the salon may damage your nails
although the nail salon is just red at present, too frequent manicures may hurt your nails. Continuous polishing will stain the nails, and the chemicals in the adhesive will peel off the nails layer by layer and make them fragile. It takes half a year to replace a new nail before it can recover. So if you are a person who is very interested in manicure, it would be better to take a proper rest!
6. The more healthy nails we eat, the more beautiful
our nails are 3mm long. It takes about a month. If we are conditioned by a healthy diet, we can grow complete nails in six months. Therefore, many experts suggest eating more raw keratin foods, such as high protein, low-fat milk, vitamin C and so on.
