Maintaining nails healthy and good looking is not so difficult. While it is true that sometimes hereditary factors play part for having good or bad nails and even if you try, you can't change the shape and the size or your nail beds, there are many other simple procedures, which can deliver great results. For instance, the following rules are very basic, yet powerful:
Makanlah makanan yang sehat dan berimbang
Kurangnya vitamin dan mineral di dalam tubuh terlihat pada kuku. Kadang terlihat kuku yang aneh dan merupakan gejala dari berbagai penyakit, tetapi paling sering karena kekurangan gizi. Kekurangan vitamin D terutama mengarah kepada kuku yang rapuh. Jadi sebelum Anda memakai pengeras kuku, asuplah makanan bergizi terlebih dahulu.
Jangan biarkan tangan, jari dan kuku Anda terkena zat kimia, seperti deterjen.
Everyday chemistry is not always harmless and many chemicals for use in the household can damage your nails and skin. Wearing gloves usually helps in preventing contact with nail unfriendly detergents. Gloves are also mandatory when you are dealing with dyers or simply dirt of any kind.
Hati-hati memilih cat kuku, pengeras dan pembersih.
Although modern cosmetics are intended to be harmless, there are still nail polishes, hardeners and cleaners that contain substances, which damage the nail surface. If you notice stains on your nails, or they become dry and brittle, one possible reason is your nail cosmetics. Usually it is not the polish but rather the cleaner (especially those that contain acetone) that is the mortal enemy for nails. When your nails get damaged by a nail polish or a cleaner, if you stop using it for a while, this might be all treatment that your nails need.
Lembabkan kuku Anda
Nails, like skin, can get dry and you need to moisturize them. Nails get dry not only because of excessive use of nail polish and above all nail polish cleaners but also because of the climate (especially if you live in a cold country) and frequent washing. So you need to apply moisturizers to them to keep them from drying.
Gunakan minyak kuku
Massage your nails with rose hip oil to strengthen your nails and to stimulate their growth. Oils also help in moisturizing your nails, so you may want to get a product that combines both. Applying a moisturizer or a nail oil every night before going to bed is a nice habit to pick up.
Jangan menggunting kutikula
The cuticles are part of the nail and when you cut their visible part, you only make them harder and puffy. Instead, when your fingers and nails are wet, gently put the cuticles back to make them less visible and that is all you can do to fight them.
Sering cuci tangan dan teratur memotong kuku Anda.
This might sound more than obvious but if you look at the hands of the guys and girls around you, you might start wondering if this basic hygiene habit is that obvious to everybody. It is ridiculous to see the perfect nail polish on a dirty hand or on a shapeless nail that has not been cut (only occasionally bitten) for ages.
Bekerjasama dengan penumbuhan kuku
This is a very unpleasant condition, which happens most often to the toenails and is generally due to tight shoes. If your nails are inclined to grow on the wrong side, this means that you will have to cut them very often, thus not giving them the chance to get to your skin and grow there. Besides that it is not good-looking, ingrown nails are painful and often can lead to infections, so you have to reason to tolerate them.
