Only these type of nails benefit from a hardener. [Watch me work and explain]

[@samanthamurray5773]

Thank you so much for this video! I've been diligent about applying oil to my nails but they STILL crack and peel soooo easily! It's been driving me crazy. But I think they are very similar to this client's, so I'm hopeful that means using the mavala hardener may help me. Unfortunately they are quite damaged right now so I have to wait a while, but I'm so glad to see this example of nails that look like mine!

[@KellandraValentine]

Mavala changed my life! First and foremost, your channel changed my life bc you are where I learned of Mavala, jojoba oil, kerasol and finally Dazzle Dry. I am at 1 full year of diligent Mavala, jojoba and kerasol use and for the 1st time in my entire life my nails are long, strong, not peeling and beautiful! I am in awe every time I look down at my beautifully manicured long dazzle dry nails. I had blamed genetics and lost hope before you. Thank you so much 😭

[@foo8lover]

Hi ! What is the kerasol product you are using on your nails?

[@KellandraValentine]

The Kerasol intensive foot repair ointment. It’s a miracle ointment for dried skin not only on the feet, but on and around the nails.

[@nancybrown2609]

Ok I’m going to try this! My nails are similar to her client’s nails: I even have a nail that splits from a door slamming into it in college years ago. I’ve had to baby that nail and occasionally it splits:( I use jojoba oil frequently but I’ll add these other products as well.

[@KellandraValentine]

@@nancybrown2609 Mavala was the real game changer. The original Mavala, not the K+. The K+ didn't work for me.

[@nancybrown2609]

@ thank you for this information! I have thin, bendy nails, so I’m really hoping I can find this and try it. I use jojoba oil and it’s works great on my cuticles. I’m also going to try the Dazzle Dry. Big help!

[@cindyfuller3917]

Between learning soaking techniques and regular nail care from you, I added diatomaceous earth (food grade) and Mavala and my nails are so hard and healthy. When I paint them, they look like professional gel nails they’re so beautiful!

[@blessed9491]

How often n how much of diatomaceous earth do you take please ?

[@leeanne8651]

I have a nail like that with a vertical line that will crack if the tip is too long. I find since I have been using jojoba oil for a year the vertical line is less noticeable and the tip is less prone to cracking and breaking. Thank you for recommending the jojoba oil and a simple manicure routine.

[@TheSalonLife]

Yes. Jojoba will condition the nail so it’s less likely to split.

[@hssmama]

Jojoba works great...but if you can get Anna's skin and bail salve...that works amazing!! I actually can grow longer nails now. Can't wait until we can buy!!

[@GiGi-p6o]

@@TheSalonLife hello I just found your channel and I love it. can you please make a video on what to do with nails that have those white spots or lines ?? My nails have them and bend

[@francie5161]

I really appreciate your videos. I've learned so much. I stopped cutting around my cuticles and my nails have never looked healthier. Thank you! ❤

[@TheSalonLife]

[@disgrunty]

My nails are just like this! Every time I shower, I have to be extremely careful or my nails will fold back on themselves if they're long enough. They're not super damaged fortunately but good grief it hurts having my nails do that.

[@leslieb4553]

Off topic- I’ve been piling my nails consistently- peel on almost gone. Only been a month. For work, I’m constantly in hand sanitizer and 🧤. Amazing!!🎉

[@alinarosu7944]

Well, i could watch you ALL day shaping nails and removing cuticles :))

[@plumcreekantiques7191]

I have learned so much from you in the care of my natural nails. Is there any supplement or dietary need that could help strengthen the nails from within ? Rather than applying an external product ?

[@Tanguy2030]

I have psoriasis, but it only shows up because my nails are extremely soft and split horizontally. The only thing that really helped me was oil after every hand wash, Kerasal cream in the evening and „Sililevo“ polish once a day I'm very happy with my nails now 🙏🏼

[@elisaastorino2881]

Until I discovered your channel, I was using hardeners on my hard, brittle nails. I used Mavala Scientifique and the tips of my nails would break right off. Mavala has excellent products but I gave up on that one after learning from your videos.

[@lucycampion9379]

A perfectly timed video 😃 I bought my first bottle of Mavala yesterday and have applied my first treatment. Hoping it helps my weak and peeling nails. Out of curiosity, how does it differ to OPI Repair Mode?

[@Polkawkrainiehamburgerow]

I finally know the answer! Thank you so much!

[@TheSalonLife]

Happy to help!

[@judithhershkowitz7093]

Another wonderful video! Have you heard of a product by Liaison? They manufacture a nail serum. The ingredients are; cottonseed oil, olive oil, vitamin E acetate, palmitoyl-tripeptide-1, myristoyl-pentapeptide-4, acetyl-tetrapeptide-3 and hexapeptide-3. Would love your opinion on these ingredients. The claims are that the serum strengthens the nails, improves the condition of the nail plate and helps facilitate growth.

[@TheSalonLife]

It's a no from me.

[@Janice_ee]

Thank you for this video! 👌 I only have the oposite- problem with my thumbs. My thumb nails are kept short, but still keep breaking in the stress area on sides (both thumbs). I oil them after each wash and do oil soaks as well, started three months ago when removed gel polish. Could OPI Repair Mode Bond Building or CND Rescuerxx help? Could it be that they need to grow out longer with the oiling routine or some other solution. I have no peeling (oiling fixed it) and my nails are strong, thumbs in particular.

[@Natsumi666]

I've used mava strong (10ml) but I haven't noticed anything, it only gave a little shine like a regular nail polish and I feel I've been ripped off... saludos desde el norte de España.

[@TheSalonLife]

Mavala Strong is not a hardener. Just a nail polish It has a mastic gum but I have a feeling that is as effective as having a blueberry in a muffing thinking it’s healthy. Mastic gum is not a hardener really either.

[@Coralista21]

Would you recommend using this hardener for nails that are peeling on the free edge?

[@melissalepper5880]

I have been using this product for 9 months because my nails were peeling, in addition to being very soft and flexible. I can say this product has worked for both situations. My nails do not peel anymore, it took maybe weeks 2-3 months. I also oil my nails frequently which helps with peeling.

[@aimi_ism]

Thank you for clearing this up! My nails are exactly like hers: healthy(not damaged) & flexible(not soft), but sometimes can be too flexible especially when I shampoo. I've been wondering if I need a nail hardener or nail strengthener. Unfortunately, Mavala Scientifique nail hardeners are not available here in Malaysia, even iHerb will not ship the nail hardener here. Can you recommend a few other nail hardeners that are easily accessible? TQ

[@dklfjladkjldjfkladskf]

Thank you so much! I already learnt so much from you. I think I have quite similar nails - even weaker though and very ridgy. I will try Mavala. And I‘m wondering if a nail polish would help too? My nails tend to get very wide on the tips and I have a split nail like the lady in the video too. Is oil helpful, even if the nails have polish on them?

[@mushroom.mustang]

@@dklfjladkjldjfkladskf i can’t remember if she recommends this or not, but i have seen others apply the oil to the underside of their nail and cuticle area when painted. that’s what i’ve been doing but i only use a clear coat so i can apply oil to the outgrown bottom

[@jjoyce5627]

How would you recommend exfoliating the hardened skin for people doing their own nails at home?

[@TheSalonLife]

When you care for your skin like I suggest there is barely anything to exfoliate. And the routine is very simple. If you are prone to hard skin around the nails use only gentle cleanser. Drop of oil after hand wash. A dab of Kerasal ointment at night. That’s it.

[@Mommaslew]

Curious....how often would you apply a coat of the hardener? Weekly? TY!❤❤❤

[@jovylucky1755]

So beautiful!! @TheSalonLife, can you recommend nail salons in the GTA that do simple nail routines without cutting the skin? I would attempt this but as you mentioned in this video, I will have trouble doing the hand oppisite my dominant hand.

[@NicoleJara445]

My nails get curve with this mavala.

[@TheSalonLife]

In a good way or a bad way?

[@NicoleJara445]

@TheSalonLife in a bad way. They look weird. The tip of nail gets curve into the inside

[@n.k.4481]

I have a question about cutting “live tissue” I have been watching your videos for about a month now, and also doing your weekly manis, oiling a bunch, pushing back pnf etc.. I have seen an improvement in my skin around my nails but I still seem to have a more pronounced pnf even though it has improved a ton. When I tried painting them w reg polish for the first time, I kept getting the nail polish bleeding/spreading underneath the pnf and it looks horrible and makes it so hard to clean up. I’m not a bad polisher I promise.. but the polish getting under there is bothering me. Can you advise if I am one of those cases that needs to cut a little?

[@TheSalonLife]

I'm literally just writing routines for a beautiful nail contour. And no, the skin will shrink, there is never a case that you need to cut it ;) Can you maybe send me a picture so I can comment on it and use it in my materials? I describe how to take photos here: thesalonlifeshop.com/products/annas-nail-advice You can email photos to [e-mail]

[@wendystylers]

Marval was a great nail hardner till they changed the formula and it’s hard to get now

[@heidir.3458]

do you always do dry manicures?

[@TheSalonLife]

For clients yes. For myself no :)
