When you make yourself a manicure or in the cabin, you must remember that you are dealing with a living structure. Guided by the fact that the nails - it's just a horny formation, layers of dead keratin wrong.
There is a live nail "the beginning" of its growth, the living cells that protect our blood and nerves of foreign microorganisms and dirt. Nails have a complex anatomy, understand that nothing is easier than with hormones work. Below are some interesting facts about our nails, which is useful to know everything, especially for beginners to masters.
1. Zone-leader in the nail varnish is peeling sinus
Who does not know, nail sinus (they are called sinuses) - this is the line between the skin folds on the sides and back of the nail (the nail shaft) And most of the nail plate. Apologies for sounding data basics, but many do not really understand and confused in these things.
So, these depressions "protected" cuticle from dirt and bacteria. True, the "protection" weak, this natural protection is not enough. Nail sinus still need to handle manicure tools. And it is in this area is peeled paint and other artificial turf.
Treating nail sinus area should be thoroughly, and in any case not skusyvat growths tweezers, otherwise there will be burrs and more often appear layers of hard skin. Sawing process only (pull maximum lateral roll, each side, close to the sine of the saw blade and start carefully cut) And remuverom.
2. Normal nail plate thickness - of 0.3 to 0.45 mm
If smaller (0.25-0.27 mm), the nail is thinned. If more (up to 0.6 mm), it hyperkeratosis - piece, which at least from an aesthetic point of view is terrible.
3. Nail plate Naturally uneven
The cells of the matrix (the "beginning" of our nail growth) can not evenly share and "die out" (i.e., move into the stratum corneum). Nail surface comprises alternating longitudinal grooves and ridges.
Each of us has the bumps on the surface of the nail are unique: someone this alternation is strongly expressed, someone not. This feature of the nail plates used in forensics.
4. matrix cells divide more, and under the nail
Matrix itself is under our rear nail ridges, it goes to the root of the nail and has its continuation under the nail plate - gipohiny.
Many narrow-minded people, when they see a photo of a beautiful manicure gipohiny under the nail, they find it much mud. If you suddenly cut the wizard prompts gipohiny - run from him. And as quickly as possible.
5. Thanks to our gipohiniyu nail plate is fixed
Gipohiny consists of collagen fibers which are interwoven with the phalanx bone. Collagen and keratin we have the most powerful naturally occurring protein structure can withstand a lot of pressure, keep everything tight for that "catch".
6. I do hair and nails different keratin
Hair, nail beds that - it's all derivatives of our skin and is composed of keratin. Only in hair - alpha-keratin, and in nail - beta-keratin. Alpha-keratin molecules are arranged in a spiral, and beta-keratin - layers.
7. Nails several times better absorb water than the skin
This is all due to their layered structure. In addition to water nails perfectly absorb oils and fats. Good property, which makes it possible to treat and restore nails external means.
Now you understand why use a base coat before applying color polish? And you know that vitamin base - it's still not crazy, and somehow reduce the damage to the nail plate?
8. nail hardness determines sulfur
Because sulfur is a part of keratin. Water and sulfur determine the final state of our nails. Impaired balance - nail loses its elasticity and firmness. It's simple. Remember this.
9. Those who sit on the diet beskholesterinovoy, nails are in a sorry state
Because cholesterol is composed of keratin on the importance of going after sulfur and water. Even not so important percentage of calcium or potassium, as the proportion of cholesterol in the composition. Reduced cholesterol content leads to disturbances of the nail plate. So yes, the diet affects the condition of the nails.
