Which manicure is better: hardware or trim?

To be the owner of beautiful nails is the dream of every woman. Some representatives of the fair sex once a week take on nail files and scissors, creating an impeccable shape of nails with these tools, while other ladies prefer to use the hardware technique, regularly visiting the best beauty salons. What is the difference between the methods?

Every day, every person is faced with the negative effects of detergents. Everyday routine homework, low-quality tap water, cold and even the bright rays of the sun can create many problems. To avoid negative consequences, you need to pay regular attention to the skin of the hands, and especially to the nails.

The exact meaning of the word "manicure" in translation from Latin means "hand care."

The technique of hardware manicure is a type of nail care. In the process, the roughened skin of the fingers and cuticle are removed. The whole process is accompanied by the use of several nozzles that contribute to the removal of the thickness of the keratinized layer around the nail plate. This technique is considered the most modern and very effective for creating unsurpassed manicure.

For this method of processing nails, masters use special devices that are sold complete with several types of nozzles.The procedure for hardware manicure may vary; there is a portable and stationary hardware manicure.

The technique of hardware manicure can be an independent or complex procedure aimed at care not only of the nails, but also of the hands as a whole. You can use the hardware method of processing nails at home, the main thing is to familiarize yourself with the intricacies of the apparatus and the instructions for use in advance.

Each woman got used to the technique of cut manicure for a long time. This method is widespread both in beauty salons and at home.

In the process of the classical technique, the cuticle is removed with the help of neat movements with the help of small scissors, each nail plate undergoes thorough processing. The coarsened skin near the nails is softened with vegetable oils, and after that they are cut off.

It is worth noting that in the cosmetology environment, trimmed manicure has a second name - wet. The reason for this lies in the preliminary preparation of the hands for the circumcision procedure, namely in the steaming bath.

Using cosmetic tools, the nails are given the necessary shape. The skin around the nail plate becomes soft and tender. After the trimmed manicure, you can apply a colorful composition of varnish.

The classic (or trimmed) manicure method involves the use of many cosmetic items:

• trimmer;
• sticks on a wooden base;
• nippers;
• special scissors with rounded tips;
• different types of files.

Initially, with the help of cutters, the length of the nails is adjusted, then a shape is prepared with a nail file, the surface of the nails is subjected to grinding and polishing. After these manipulations, varnish is applied.

A distinctive feature of hardware manicure is the use of special equipment with cutters, and their speed and direction are regulated by the master. The device itself is divided into two types of connection:

• network - the operation of the equipment depends on the connection to the power supply;
• rechargeable - comes into effect when there is a charged battery (it is worth noting that the battery lasts for a long time, but the specific numbers for each manufacturer differ slightly).

There are a number of differences between the edged and hardware methods, which should be noted.

Each procedure in the salon is paid at the established rate, for ten sessions runs you will have to pay a large amount. But the cost of the apparatus for performing manicure after a while will fully pay for itself.

With a trimmed manicure technique, removing the cuticle is much simpler and easier. Hardware processing with a milling cutter in this matter is a rather inconvenient and rather lengthy procedure.

Unlike hardware processing, the cutting technique carries the risk of cutting with sharp cosmetic objects, as a result - possible infection (if the tools are poorly processed).

The process of polishing and subsequent grinding of the nail plate using the apparatus has an ideal result. With the cutting technique, to get the maximum effect, unfortunately, will not work.

In the modern world, the edged technique of manicure, despite the high risk of injury, is widespread. The cuticle is completely cut off from the base of the nail plate, from which imperceptible cuts can occur on the skin. An infection can get into open wounds, causing blood poisoning. Therefore, it is very important that all tools used are carefully treated with a special solution. In turn, the technique of hardware manicure does not do any harm.

According to all indicators, world cosmetology recognizes the hardware method of processing nails as more gentle. Classic manicure involves the use of baths to soften the skin around the nails, which after drying remain soft and delicate, but, unfortunately, for a short time.

After getting acquainted with the main characteristics of the trimmed and hardware manicure, many representatives of the fair sex raise the question of choice. It is impossible to say specifically what is better and what is worse. Each technique has its undeniable advantages and disadvantages. The only thing worth paying close attention to is the type of nail plate.

Based on all the characteristics of a hardware manicure, we can summarize what indicates what type of skin and nails it is suitable for:

• this technique is suitable for people in whom the cuticle is restored quite quickly after removal;
• owners of problem nails (treatment with the ability to adjust the speed will allow you to carefully process the nail plate, without violating its integrity);
• the procedure of hardware manicure is recommended to be carried out before building or performing a service jacket;
• This technique is suitable for owners of nails with closely spaced vessels.

Considering the detailed technique of edged manicure, it should be said that the technique of its execution is suitable for every person. Of course, comparing with the hardware method of processing nails, you can find a lot of flaws, but it was the classic manicure that appeared earlier, and its technical side was developed taking into account the characteristics of different people.

Today, it is possible, but rather difficult, to make a specific choice in favor of a different method of processing nails. Holders of healthy nails should do a classic manicure. The procedure takes a lot of time, but the nail plates are not at risk.

Modern women claim that hardware manicure has a lot of positive qualities. Firstly, the master’s work is reduced several times over, the nails acquire an impeccable appearance for a long time, the neat cuticle becomes soft and supple, emphasizing the length of the nail plate. Secondly, the safety of the procedure is noted. The risk of getting wounds on the skin is reduced to zero. It is very convenient to use a hardware mill when processing extended nails.

In favor of edged manicure, representatives of the older generation are leaning. Firstly, this technique is very familiar, and after many years of practice at home it takes a little time. Secondly, the surface of the nail plate is processed, ground and polished with special files that do not remove the main thickness from the nail.

Each technique has its own fans and detractors. Young girls try to keep up to date, require high-quality manicure for a short period of time, respectively, are inclined to the hardware method. But to remove the cuticle and manual preparation of the shape of the nail, choose a classic manicure.

Studying the reviews of most of the fair sex, we can summarize that hardware manicure is more suitable for brittle and exfoliating nails. Accurate and gentle processing with cutters will not harm the nail plate.
