How to Grow Natural Nails After Years of Acrylic Nails
After artificial nails are removed, the natural nail underneath may look thin, rough or weak. The visible portion cannot be replaced instantly; new fingernail grows gradually from the base toward the tip.
Long-term acrylic wear, repeated filing or buffing, adhesive and removal procedures, picking product off, acetone exposure and keeping newly exposed nails too long can add stress during the transition.
Keep newly natural nails relatively short at first, file rough edges gently, avoid picking remaining product, protect hands during prolonged wet work and use a consistent conditioning routine while new nail grows.
