It is worth noting the fact that silk is able to perfectly disguise cracked nail plate, it does not cause allergies (which is important for people with allergies, such as acrylic). In addition, the capacity of such material that will suit for hands prone to excessive sweating. Plus silk is also an opportunity to create decorative coatings and glow in ultraviolet light (if to be applied to the nails composition add fiberglass).
From the point of view of medicine silk capacity is used to treat nail plate deformation, brittle and weak nails in need of care and rehabilitation.
The advantage of silk as a material for building and strengthening the nails is also the fact that the silk - a natural material, resistant to water (although to a lesser degree than, for example, fajberglass). Building material using such means as the use of adhesive and activator for it. Before the procedure, it is recommended to shorten the nails because it is at the tip of each nail tips will be imposed. And it will strengthen their already silk cloth soaked in glue: first, a small piece of cloth glued to the nail and then a layer of silk master puts glue again. Excess fabric then cut and applied to the nails a special compound that, when it dries, carefully polished. If you decide to simply strengthen natural nails that have become brittle or exfoliating, not artificial increase, then they should not be cut.
Incidentally, the process capacity is rarely performed with silk as the main and sole material. It is usually only laid between the layers of the gel to increase the strength of the nail. Why is silk? Yes, because it was he, soaking the gel is able to create a very strong skeleton, which is better than any other will connect the tips and natural nails. With silk can also maximizes the so-called stress-zone (the place of the nails and nails). So, using this material, it is possible to increase the nails, even the most extreme lengths.
Do nail extensions only silk (and any other tissues, but without strengthening gel or acrylic), there are several differences. For example, they are much cheaper than acrylic or gel. The procedure itself takes less capacity. But in dealing with them must be careful because they are quite fragile and short-lived.
