Want to get nail extensions? You need to know THESE things before you get them
We all want nice long and pretty nails but they come at a cost of more than just money and we need to prepare ourselves before we go and spends a few hours getting our nails done.
Nails are self-expression and we have a lot of new trends when it comes to nails and nail art. Getting long nails has become so much easier with the new nail extension trend instead of waiting for them to grow and then fearing breakage more so because when we invest loads of money in getting our nails done or getting some nail art we want it to last longer so that we have enough time to appreciate and enjoy it. But with our real nails, there's a high chance of breakage and the other way out is to get nail extensions before we get nail art because these pretty long glossy extensions will last much longer. It's beautiful to just sit and look at your long nails that look so real and well-manicured. Gone are the days of boring French tips and now's the time to go all out with your nails but getting nail extensions and maintaining them is not as easy as it sounds. We all need to know some things before we get our extensions. Weighing the pros and cons is essential before you spend hours in the salon making your hands look pretty.
Here are the important things to know before you get nail extensions.
1. Getting nail extensions is not cheap at all. It'll cost you something between Rs.1500 to Rs.5000 to get your nails done, depending on the salon you head to and when the come off, the upkeep is equally expensive.
2. Nail extensions harm your actual nails and make them brittle. It is essential to file the top part of your nails before the nail extensions are applied and all the filing makes your nails rough, weak and brittle.
3. They last from 3 to 5 weeks if well taken care of and they do not feel like your real nails at all. You cannot do all the things that you do with your real nails with your extensions.
4. After having your extensions removed, your nails will need up to 3 months to get back to their normal shape and regain their strength.
5. Nail extensions do not allow your nails any breathing space and that can get irritating at times.
6. Your nail extensions cannot be removed at home. Don't try to do it at home or you may end up damaging your nails a lot more than expected.
