Unedged manicure is a fairly new service, which appeared in beauty parlors due to the high risk of contracting AIDS, hepatitis and other dangerous diseases. Although there are many types of manicure, this one is considered the most gentle, safe method of hand care.
Unedged manicure, or European, as it is also called, differs from ordinary manicure in that it is done without the help of a machine or scissors, but with a special solution that softens the skin around the nail and makes it easy to remove. When performed correctly, this method gives an almost 100% guarantee that the nail, and the cuticle, will not be damaged and, accordingly, infected.
Ways of doing
Unedged manicure can be performed in three ways: wet, dry and hot.
When wet, pre-soak the skin around the nail. Currently, this method is used in most salons, because it gives the best result and is most safe for the skin. The dry method does not require soaking, but it can cause allergies and is far from suitable for everyone. Hot is used when the skin is very rough and when removing the cuticle there are certain difficulties.
Who is he suitable for?
Unedged manicure can do everything, but in particular it is shown to women with thin and delicate skin. This is an ideal and even indispensable tool for those who suffer from diabetes mellitus, since with this disease even the slightest cut carries the risk of infection and may well lead to disastrous consequences. Recommended unedged manicure and those who have a thin cuticle. It is ideal for both strong male and gentle children's nails. In addition, unedged manicure is done less often than usual, because in the composition of the cuticle softening agent, an additive slowing down the process of skin growth is present.

How to perform unedged manicure?
The skin around the nail is steamed. Then a liquid is applied to it, softening the cuticle and contributing to its rapid removal.
After waiting a few minutes until the cuticle softens sufficiently and the softer part comes off by itself, the coarser parts can be removed with a special stick (it is best if it is made of orange wood), although in many salons plastic sticks are used and there is nothing to worry about. Having removed all the cuticles, the skin is treated with a special oil or cream, which allows removing the slight swelling remaining after the procedure, which slows down the growth of the skin and prevents the appearance of burrs.
Can I do it myself?
