The intro was perfection -- simultaneously mocking and validating the agony of the seemingly minor injury that is somehow so much worse! And I KNEW petrolatum was going to be involved somehow 😆. Thanks Dr. Dray!

I came across a video on KZfaq lately by The Salon Life a professional nail technician. She says that skin is actually the proximal nail fold (living skin) and the reason it splits and cracks is because it’s stuck to the nail bed and as the nail grows it pulls and rips the skin. The cuticle is the dead skin that’s stuck under the proximal nail fold. Her recommendation is to rub in jojoba oil - just a drop for both hands - into the nails after each hand washing and use Kerasal every night and using an orange stick gently nudge the skin back every couple of days. I had terrible ‘hangnails’ and thick dry proximal nail fold and can say this absolutely works…..my nails and skin around them are already so much better after only a week.

@db-gb5xi Ай бұрын

Yes, I've come across her as well. It was her video on warm oil for brittle nails. I also like Nail Career Education though she doesn't do as much natural nail care. She recently did a natural manicure video on a male client and discussed cuticles and how to safely remove hangnails.

I don't get my nails professionally done unless there is like a major event which may be twice a year jaja and i do shellac. I like to cut my nails short and i am about to buy a file so i can make them more even. I do have a problem messing the hang nails and recently got a callus from digging a hole and i had my ring on. So ive been digging at it and its been blistering but i will manage myself to moisturize from now on and stop picking at them

You have turned me on to petroleum jelly for a few things. I buy big jars at Costco. I have them at my bathroom sinks and every time I wash my hands I rub a small amount into my cuticles and hands. I’m going to look through your videos and see if you have one about dish washing detergent. I think that is what dries my cuticles out so much. I use Dawn, and it is great at cutting grease, but my hands and cuticles are always dry. I never remember gloves until after the fact.

I used to experience a ton of hang nails but since I’ve been diagnosed with skin allergies I don’t really get them anymore. The only time they show up now is after I accidentally use a product with an allergen in it. Hang nails are not typically associated with a symptom of skin allergies, but it does tend to be one of the symptoms for me.

Nail techs in my country also recommend the same glue for nails torn from the nail bed, even if bleeding. Didn't believe it, but if it is safe for hangnails is it safe for broken nails as well? (Excluding allergies and sensitivity). PS. Oh and most likely stop the bleeding first I guess?
