I love your content. I've had splitting nails for the past 5+ years. I've asked salon manicurists, a dermatologist and other doctors how to treat my nails. None of them knew or seemed to care. They were not the ones suffering with the pain when they tore. Again many, many thanks. Please keep up the good advice.
@@LaneyaWiles I had acryl nails for almost 5 years . One day I decided to take them out on my own . I watched some videos from other people on TH-cam…. Total disaster. My nails were damaged and also they heart me so much . The broke every day more and more . Then I found this channel . With patience and following the instructions they look much much better and they got stronger . I started with oil soaking and dry manicure and I am really happy with the results. The only thing I have to practice is to form my nails . I don’t trust my self and don’t feel confident to do alone . But at the same time I don’t trust anyone anymore .

What your advice did for my 73 years old nails, no doctor has done. I am more than thankful. Wish you and your team an amazing festive season and a great peaceful and graceful 24 for all of you and the entire world ❤, thank you
I really appreciate you explaining WHY you should and shouldn't do certain things. When I know the why, I'm always much more likely to actually stick to a routine !
I first watched this about 8 months ago. My nails had been terrible for about x3 years. Dry, flaking, peeling really badly, raised horizontal lines, a weird peach colour. I wore pale nail varnish to hide them. I put it down to health issues. After this video, I stopped wearing varnish & constantly rubbed Argon oil over my nails (and hands) especially while watching TV in the evening. After around x6 weeks, they started improving, so I filled them across with an emery. They grew again, a strong straight shape, the colour is normal, the ridges disappeared, they’re getting better and stronger all the time, I’m so happy! Thank you for all your good work! 😊
@Lola-yo may I ask you what you mean when you say 'varnish?' Is that different from polish? I think sometimes polish is also called Nail lacquer, is varnish just another word for it?🤔💜💜💜
Anna is one of the most, if not the most knowledgeable person in the nail industry! Thank you for all of your advice, it is superb to have you and knowing that you respond to our needs! X
Jojoba molecules are the smallest of any oil (it's technically an ester, yes). This is why it's great for the nails, the molecules can fit the deepest between the "shingles." A few years back there was a shortage so I switched to fractonated coconut oil for giving massage, which is now commonly available in any food store as "MCT Oil." This has molecules nearly as small as jojoba so it's also very light and absorbs well (doesn't leave clients greasy). Both are extremely non-irritating to the skin for most people. Oils that are thicker -- for instance, castor oil is one of the thickest oils -- have the largest molecules. Personally that's why I just use straight jojoba for my nails, because I figure getting it in deeply is the whole point.
@@RachelDaSilvaMy grandmother swore by it for a makeup remover. It's amazing for the skin. It probably soaks into the skin around your nails, which protects your nails, and provides a barrier from water, water dries out your nails. So it's still good.
I use Jojoba or argan. I've tried several as cuticle oils. Those two Soak into my nails the fastest. Sweet almond oil seemed to sit on top and not absorb well.
Thanks! I've just looked at the price of jojoba oil and OUCH, it's really expensive BUT I just happen to have a bottle of MCT Oil on hand. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Cheers from Oz!
Thank you Anna, having had dry, brittle and peeling nails for most of my life they finally look more than presentable thanks to you advice, Weekly oiltreatments and using oil after every handwash has transformed my nails! I don't expect them to ever grow strong, and thick but at least they look and feel good. I even think the ridges are slightly less prominent. I cannot thank you enough.
I really appreciate the advice you give based on actual expert advice and not just on anecdote, personal experience, zodiac signs, personal whims, and sponsorships. Very refreshing in this mad TH-cam world.
Oils have done wonders for my nails, I have managed to grow them so long and strong. I use oil every day and sometimes do overnight treatment with gloves. I mix jojoba and vit E.
Hi Anna, your content just keeps getting better and better. Like so many others, I'm learning a lot from you and am taking better, safer care of my nails and hands.
@@TheSalonLife Hi Anna. I would like to ask you something. If I am doing shellac, how many days prior should I cure my nails with the hot oil treatment before applying shellac?
I have my own cuticle/hot oil mix, 2:1 jojoba to Vitamin E. Vitamin E helps with both hydration and reducing nail yellowing from frequent polishing. It's also an anti-oxidant, so it protects nails from free-radical damage. So with the jojoba, it's like a 1-2 punch to keep nails healthy and strong. My nails and cuticles look and feel so much better now that I'm using oil more effectively on them.
I don't think bit E reduces yellowing either but being antioxidant kind of would makes sense. Many carrier oils contain vitamin E. Jojoba is naturally rich in Vitamin E and antioxidants.
I have been watching your videos recently; first time commenter. I used to do my nails weekly but have not really cared for my nails like I used to. Now after listening to your advice, I stopped cutting what I thought were my cuticles and have been applying oil and cream with urea religiously and caring an orange stick in my handbag 🙂 Thank you so much, Anna!! You have shown me the importance of investing in oneself. Now I will try warm oil treatments, too.
I’ve just discovered your channel in the past week and I’m absolutely amazed by everything. I actually studied beauty therapy many years ago (though I didn’t pursue that) learning about the anatomy of the nails, amongst other things, and I still didn’t know the difference between the PNF and the cuticle. My mind is blown. I’ve just started following your advice for peeling nails and general care and they’re looking so much better already. Thank you!!
Hi Anna, Your content is very appreciated. I have followed your recommendations for dry, brittle nails with ridges as well as the "correct" way to treat my cuticles (no more cutting my skin). My nails already show great improvement. Thank you
Love your advice, my nails have been improving with the gentle pushing of the cuticle, the Kersal and the jojoba oil after washing my hands. My nails have gotten very dry and ridged (post menopausal). Sticking with these routines has helped in a short amount of time! Thank you
Thank you for this 🤗 I've done the warm oil twice now and will honestly say it has made quite a significant difference to my peeling nails. I was shocked to see improvement after one treatment - I used olive & grapeseed oil as it was what I have on hand.
Thank you! So helpful. I felt so alone with my brittle peeling nails for SO long and now I find so many others have the same problem! So helpful you are both educating us on the real problems with real solutions. This all explains why I could get some benefit from nail strengtheners from June and Olive or NailTech…then end up worse than when I started with low, low horizontal cracks. I was over hardening without adding in the flexibility. I am currently in a long term treatment phase, based on all your recommendations, but I still plan to send in my pics soon for evaluation..! Thanks Anna, -Jenny
Doing my first oil treatment while watching this video. Thank you so much for showing us how to do one. My nails have never looked better since finding your Channel 😊
ALL THE LOVE!! I'm reviewing this video as I need some warm oil for these nails and knew just where to come. My hands and nails have been transformed after following your thoughtful advice and I am part of an international community of Anna and MSL fans forever!
Omg I'm glad I found this channel, I have been biting my nails for years; I stopped at 8th or 9th grade. But I never liked those Acrylic nails, tried them 2 or 3 times in my life and i saw that they just made my nails worse. Fast forward to a job I used to be at for 7 yrs and wow they are weak and brittle and bendy. At that job was required to wash hands constantly and I wasn't allowed to wear anything on them. I resigned 7 years after and I'm glad that in my current job I can wear polish. Been looking for ways to heal them up and this is what I want. Good nail data and they can be pretty!!
Hi Anna, I wish there was an equivalent of 'YOU', (who can be trusted) - teaching us with the same standards as yours, for face beauty creams/treatments! Your nail knowledge is amazing! We could do with an expert in face creams 😃
There is, Paula Begoun. :) I loved her skin care line before she sold it. I mean the products are still good but more expensive now. Beautypedia is still my go to when it comes to ingredients.
I’m glad I found you!!! Thank you for the tips. I have dishydrotic eczema on my hands and that has ruined my nails and cuticles. Now I can do my own manicure 😊 Thank you so much!!!❤❤❤
Such useful information! I appreciate the explanation as to how the oil actually works to improve the nail. Thank you for all the time you have spent on these videos. Love your accent too! 💕
Thank you so very much Anna for this video. I'm pretty new to watching your channel but I have been binge watching you for the last week and have been treating my PNF with the care she deserves! It took me a while to find this video with the directions for the warm oil soak but the quest was worthwhile. Your information is top notch and your teaching style is infectious. Thanks for your hard work.
I have had splitting, peeling, terrible nails for probably the past 10 years. I’ve been piling the skin & cuticle nightly, but will take this weekend to give them a break from polish and do the warm oil treatments. Such a wealth of natural nail care, thank you!
I am so glad I came across your channel! I actually started using oil on my nails somewhat recently as I came to the epiphany on my own that it would improve the health of my nails. It’s already made a big difference and I can’t wait to start implementing some of your advice!
I was so glad to have found your channel a few years ago. The information that you share and teach is information that I have learned over the last 20 years of doing my own nails. All the youtube channels and some websites I had found (until I found yours), even with certified nail techs and nail instructors, give wrong information. There is one site that parrots Doug Schoon's info as their own to sell their product, and then puts a tiny byline somewhere. Also, a recent video from a well-loved nail instructor on youtube shocked me because I thought she was on the up and up for the most part. All that to say I truly appreciate your passion, the research you do, and the care you take to inform and avoid misinforming. It is really nice to know that I can rely on the 'new to me' information you share as being correct and not harmful in any way. Thank you so much for that!
I've been using oils for awhile, but it was one of your videos about Mavala hardener that was the most helpful. My nails don't peel now when I wear polish. Thank you for such a great breakdown of the science behind nails.
I would love to message you my nail progress pictures since October 2023! I’d love to show you how your advice has allowed my nails to heal from an acrylate allergy (I’m a dental hygienist of 17 years… I LOVE your channel).
I did this with castor oil and a paraffin treatment. I only had organic castor oil in the house. The combination with the warmth of the paraffin wax, made great results! WOW!!! Im going to order the other oils too. My nails are so bad from gel manicures. Cant wait to see the results.
You need a very penetrating oil. Castor oil is very thick and doesn’t penetrate nail very well so it won’t plasticize it as much as jojoba for example.
Loooove this! I will def be adding this into my weekly routine now. I have been using oils and creams daily, as you have suggested with my nails, and can't wait to show you the result.
Olive oil is a great oil to use as it calcifies the nails but makes them flexible. I have very dry nails and olive oil really helps, I apply it before watching Netflix and I put it on my toenails and put socks on as an overnight treatment. It’s great on the lips. I also use Estée Lauder Night Repair serum around my nails which softens the skin.
Why olive oil when there are so many other much better choices? According to research olive oil can actually damage skin barrier pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22995032/
@@TheSalonLife Thanks for replying and that’s really interesting. I actually should have specified it’s the extra virgin olive oil that I use. I started applying it on my nails and after about a month, I noticed how much stronger yet flexible they were. I have three table spoons of it a day and it is such a good source of nutrients. I have read lots on PubMed that say how beneficial extra virgin olive oil is and I must say, it helps my skin and nails a lot. I would try sunflower oil. Do you rate OPI Nail Envy? I very much enjoy your videos 😊.
After seeing this video a month ago, I started doing the warm oil soak every Saturday and it's helped quite a bit with the peeling and cracking. They look pretty darn good bare, too!
First of all, just found your channel and you have taught me more about nail care than anyone in my 76 years! I have started massaging oil into my nails several times a day and especially after I wash them, then put lotion on top of that! Could you add caster oil to the jojoba oil to soak the nails? I am already after a couple days seeing a great improvement to my nails. I do a lot of gardening and art, my nails take a beating. I can’t wear latex gloves to do household chores so your methods are really helping to make a great difference in my nails. Thanks so much!
Omg, where have you been all my nail life 😅. The education behind the action!!! I love TH-camrs that I can trust. Thank you for sharing the back up to your tips. Trying this for my thin, bending nails. Just bought an essie nail hardener after talking with my doctor, improving my nutrition, protein intake and not seeing much results.
I’ve just recently started watching your channel, mainly because I’m now using Dazzle Dry polish system. I love it! And love all your advice on your videos. Since I’ve come to trust your advice, I decided to watch this video on the nail care for brittle nails. My nails crack right in the corners and tear off very easy. The Dazzle Dry has helped, but I wanted to get to the “root” of the problem. I’ll reply back with the results after using these oils for a few months.
I'm going to start doing this for my brittle nails and stop wasting money on nail strengtheners. Thank you so much for your informative videos. I love them all.
I just discovered your channel yesterday and find you super informative. I tried doing my own polygel nails at home recently, and got very over zealous with an e-drill on my cuticles and I'm sure you can imagine what some of my nails look like now that they're growing out a bit. Your tips are going to come in very handy as I try to grow out the damage I managed to do to my nails. I WILL be giving my natural nails a break for sure! Thank you so much for sharing this info and I will be going thru your other videos for more tips and info. Definitely got a new subscriber. :) Thanks again and keep up the great work!
So glad I found you, I’m trying to improve my nails and all your advice is really helping, I just have a question about doing the warm oil for my nails, once I’ve done that treatment can I reuse that oil again or dose it get thrown away, thank you so much for all your advice 💗
I bought my first bottle of Jojoba oil upon your recommendation and have been oiling after handwashing. I am doing my first oil treatment and plan to do it weekly. Thank you for your content. It is very practical and informative.
Oh you are good. You are REAL good. Stellar information from someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. Excellent video. New subscriber here. 😃 I’ve been doing a lot of the things you are suggesting for quite sometime now….because I did extensive research myself. I use a small square electric mug-warmer to keep my nail-soaking oil consistently warm as I soak. I add in a couple pinches of sea salt because it helps to re-mineralize the nails and a few drops of tea tree oil. The salt and the Teatree oil prevent bacteria growth so I can reuse the oil for quite a while before I have to refresh. Warm oil treatments have transformed my nails into something I previously only dreamed about. I soak my nails 30 minutes every single day in a combination blend of jojoba, avocado, olive, grapeseed, castor, apricot, coconut and vitamin E oils….plus some added shea and cocoa butters as well. Oh and a bit a freshly squeezed lemon juice. My nails are long, stong and amazing. I keep them bare most of the time, because my treatments are more important to me than having painted but unhealthy brittle nails. Plus people think they are fake when I paint them. Having them bare, allows me to get the full benefits of my nail treatments plus people know they are real and their jaws drop when they see them. Lol. I get constant compliments and inquiries from people asking how I do it. Also, have you heard of Dior “creme abricot” nail strengthening cream? Worth every penny and will give “OMG” results. Pricy but worth it and lasts a very a long time. I also use cornucrescine horse hoof ointment overnight on my nails. Perfectly safe for human use and your nails will grow like you never thought possible. I kid you not. All of this has given me the nails of my dreams. 🥰
Thank you so much for making these nail advice and care videos. I have been biting my nails since I can remember and only recently stopped for good. This has left me with terrible nail beds, brittle, soft and weak nails and inflamed and hardened skin. I have stopped cutting the skin around my nails and bought all the cremes you recommended - the Eucerin repair cream and the Cicaplast one as well. I have also bought the cuticle oil and have been using it in combination with shea butter and simple bio oil alternating between the 3. Kerasal has helped me a lot too. It has been two weeks and the skin around my nails has never looked better!!! I am going to incorporate the hot oil treatments as well. Thank you again, I really appreciate your video content so much!
Ok, here goes, I'll be following your methods to restore my nails . Sooo glad I canceled the acrylic appointment and discovered you. Thank you for sharing a comprehensive guide. (US follower) Check back to you later with my 'new' nails.
Hello Anna, So glad to have found your channel. I have ugly hands and using your instructions on how to care for your nails has made a huge difference, thank you so much for all of your information!!!!
I’ve been gnawing on my cuticles for years, but since I’ve discovered your channel I’m improving this habit. I’ve noticed that I’m tempted when I’m anxious. Anyway, I’m Paying Attention to it, now! Thank you 🙏
Hello Amy! Have you seen this video? HORRIBLE CUTICLES? THINK AGAIN! This info will change everything! 🤯[ANNA’S NAIL ADVICE] th-cam.com/video/Q5_kSyzWI-s/w-d-xo.html
I just found you two days ago after I purchased Blue Cross cuticle remover-so I broused you tube to learn more about it. I have learned an enourmous amount education listenting to your explanations and tips. Thank You so much.
Thank you for this. I developed ridges down my nails about a year ago. I found this video a couple of months ago and gave it a try. The ridges have almost gone on most nails. My thumb nails are still the most obvious and weirdly I seem to have developed a much higher ridge right down the centre of two nails but those are slowly looking better as well.
Thank you so much for this video. My nails are so damaged from years of gel and acrylics. I took my gel off about 2 weeks ago and have been applying jojoba oil at least once a day (sometimes up to 3x a day) and leaving the polish off. My nails are looking much better already and feeling stronger. I know water is not great for my nails and wear gloves when dishwashing but they get wet in the shower. Would you recommend wearing polish now to protect them of do you suggest leaving the polish off while they recover? I probably have about another month until the damaged part of my nails is grown out.
I have been following Anna’s advice for 3 weeks and am seeing results. Wish I had found Anna 40 years ago. Ha ha. I do have one question. Can I save the oil in a covered glass jar and use it again? Thank you Anna!
Thank your for teaching us ❣ I never would have considered that my nails could be dry 😅 They've gotten so much better since I started the oil treatment 😍
Ooohhhh I didnt see this before, I saw some other video where you said to use oil after handwashing and for the past 2 weeks I have been using the sally hansen and Essie nail and cuticle oil everyday (like I basically carry it with me lol) and my nails look and feel much better. Now I am going to implement this step, I am so sure that they would look gorgeous by the end of another two weeks. Thank you thank you thank youuuuuuuuuu 💖💖💖
I’m so glad that I found your content…. I have learned a lot about nails after watching you work. I am going to do this warm oil soak next manicure at home. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
The answer to the question I didn't not realise I needed to ask! So helpful my nauls are always so susceptible to splittling and dammage after polish. Thank you for creating such useful and knowledagble content and for delivering it with personality too! Contining to support and watch your channel with joy! xS
Dear Dear Anna, Thank you for your dedication to nail care and all your patient explanations. I found you after I removed one too many gel polishes. My nail were thin and peeling. I had a bottle of China Glaze cuticle oil and have used it for about 2 months now and my nail are almost fully grown out from the damage, my splitting issues seem resolved too. The process is slow but that is the reality of recovery from the damage - as you say. I think that they are looking really good and they seem stronger than ever! I followed your instruction to use cuticle oil after washing - all day and before bed. I have done the warm oil treatment - that felt Soo good! I've kept my nails trimmed short as you recommended in one of your videos. I am thrilled that my nails are looking and feeling so good! I'm in BC, Canada, and can find some of the products you recommend - I tried CND Rescue Rxx and I seemed to have a reaction as my hands got wildly itchy. The CND Solar oil seems ok. I took off the last gel polish myself with the CND remover and special pads. I plan to get another gel mani when I go away for several weeks, as they do last long and I will get it removed without getting another one for a long time. In the past I have gotten manis with regular polish from time to time but mainly I have natural nails. Thank you so much for all your great information to help us have healthy nails!
The mail oil does work. I do daily cuticle oil( alot) then 1x a wk, soak in warm olive& vit e oil...big difference. Thanks for the tips. No more fake nails. Ive.spent so mucj!
I have been using cotton Swisspers with the exfoliating side to apply the oil. I keep a few saturated in oil by the sink so I remember to use after washing my hands.
I'm sitting here wondering why I never thought to do this, I do warm oil treatments for my hair with sweet almond and grapeseed oil. It makes perfect sense to do this for nails, thank you!
Great advise excelllent content. I have done a course on manicure and know how to do nails but am not working as manicurist. However no one taught me how to take care of the nails so i love what i am learning from you now❤❤❤
I have a nail split starting horizontally from the cuticle to the end. Dr told me it is irreparable, I never use to manicure they were very strong. ever since the nail split I’ve started to have my manicure done. Now they are week and thin and soft. Do you think I could correct the nail split and start repairing the rest? I love your videos , was hopping you could give me some advise.
I just found your channel and will be doing this treatment asap! I have always wanted nice nails but never knew where to start. Thank you for all of the advice!
Anna, in the description you say, "I used 50 ml (1.5 oz) of a mixture of jojoba, avocado, grape seed oil, and sunflower oil." What is the ratio of the oils in your mixture (or the volume of each you used.) I would like to duplicate your mixture. Thank you.
Love Doug Shoon methods found out about them on my bliss kiss from Ana Seidel she’s amazing and her oil lotion etc…. I also use nitrile gloves put oil on then add bliss kiss lotion stick then leave it for at least 2 hours then my own body temperature heats up the oil etc…
Anna, for those of us with severe issues, should we try to do this daily for awhile instead of weekly as you suggested in the video? Also, do you think soaking nails in oil then wearing rubber gloves for a while or overnight is comparable? Thanks! -Jenny
I wouldn't wear rubber gloves because I would be concerned about moisture build up. I'm trying the same treatment but with the help of infrared lamp. It provides deep heat and its great for aches and pains too. Less oil needed as well. I will keep you updated :)
@@JYPSY88 - You can definitely save the oil just make sure your hands are clean before you soak them. I also recommend a nail oil pen so you can easily apply it 2 to 3 times a day and especially after washing hands in the colder months!
I’ve used rubber gloves for a nail oil oil soak or just thick hand cream for my dry hands and it’s always worked great for me! If you’re worried about moisture like Anna said, maybe do it for a few hours or not super often?? I have really dry skin to begin with so in the colder months and especially with all of the extra handwashing, I also always keep a nail oil pen with me at all times so I can easily apply it throughout the day! I just get empty ones on Amazon and fill them with my own oil 😊
Hi Anna, I’m sorry if the answer to these questions are in the comments already, I didn’t see them but there are so many comments! Can you reuse the oil for several treatments? And how long should you keep your nails in the oil? Thanks so much for your content and sharing your knowledge 😊😊
I have the same question. I keep my nails 5-7 minutes in the oil, wipe off and massage the rest on my hand. I reused my iol twice and was thinking to renew the oil every month. Not sure this is okay
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I missed a couple of things. How long should you soak your nails in heated oil? Can you reuse the oil? Can you soak nails damaged from gel polish, nail fungus, or excessive filing? Thank you very much.
Hi Anna, I just received my jojoba oil and will start doing the warm oil soaks on the weekends, will keep you posted, thank you for your videos and advise 🩷
Brilliant little video, thank you I have very strong not very flexible nails so oil is their best friend. Happily watching your video proves I'm doing the treatment right 😊
I started doing a weekly warm oil treatment two weeks ago. Like Sherri C. I also I wonder if it is okay to reuse the oil from time to time. Second question: I have a nail that has been splitting longitudinally for a few years. Will this treatment (and the others that you recommend) eventually "fix" this problem nail?

They were not the ones suffering with the pain when they tore. Again many, many thanks. Please keep up the good advice.

Jojoba molecules are the smallest of any oil (it's technically an ester, yes). This is why it's great for the nails, the molecules can fit the deepest between the "shingles." A few years back there was a shortage so I switched to fractonated coconut oil for giving massage, which is now commonly available in any food store as "MCT Oil." This has molecules nearly as small as jojoba so it's also very light and absorbs well (doesn't leave clients greasy). Both are extremely non-irritating to the skin for most people. Oils that are thicker -- for instance, castor oil is one of the thickest oils -- have the largest molecules.
Personally that's why I just use straight jojoba for my nails, because I figure getting it in deeply is the whole point.
Do you think castor oil isn’t good for them then?
Good to know this. Thanks!
@@RachelDaSilvaMy grandmother swore by it for a makeup remover. It's amazing for the skin. It probably soaks into the skin around your nails, which protects your nails, and provides a barrier from water, water dries out your nails. So it's still good.
I use Jojoba or argan. I've tried several as cuticle oils. Those two Soak into my nails the fastest. Sweet almond oil seemed to sit on top and not absorb well.
Thanks! I've just looked at the price of jojoba oil and OUCH, it's really expensive BUT I just happen to have a bottle of MCT Oil on hand. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Cheers from Oz!
Thank you Anna, having had dry, brittle and peeling nails for most of my life they finally look more than presentable thanks to you advice, Weekly oiltreatments and using oil after every handwash has transformed my nails! I don't expect them to ever grow strong, and thick but at least they look and feel good. I even think the ridges are slightly less prominent. I cannot thank you enough.
I really appreciate the advice you give based on actual expert advice and not just on anecdote, personal experience, zodiac signs, personal whims, and sponsorships. Very refreshing in this mad TH-cam world.
exactly! I ❤ evidence
Oils have done wonders for my nails, I have managed to grow them so long and strong. I use oil every day and sometimes do overnight treatment with gloves. I mix jojoba and vit E.
After weekly oil soaks (4 weeks) my nails have stopped peeling!
Hi Anna, your content just keeps getting better and better. Like so many others, I'm learning a lot from you and am taking better, safer care of my nails and hands.
Hi Cat! So happy to hear this! Thank you! You made my day! ❤️
@@TheSalonLife Hi Anna. I would like to ask you something. If I am doing shellac, how many days prior should I cure my nails with the hot oil treatment before applying shellac?
Hello Katinka. I would say you can remove Shellac, do warm oil soak and then re-polish the next day :)
@@TheSalonLife Thanks a lot, Anna!
It’s an oily life!! I mix oils for hot oil on my hair/scalp and now I’ll start hot oiling my nails, too❣️❣️
I have my own cuticle/hot oil mix, 2:1 jojoba to Vitamin E. Vitamin E helps with both hydration and reducing nail yellowing from frequent polishing. It's also an anti-oxidant, so it protects nails from free-radical damage. So with the jojoba, it's like a 1-2 punch to keep nails healthy and strong. My nails and cuticles look and feel so much better now that I'm using oil more effectively on them.
I don't think vitamin e reduces yellowing
I don't think bit E reduces yellowing either but being antioxidant kind of would makes sense. Many carrier oils contain vitamin E. Jojoba is naturally rich in Vitamin E and antioxidants.
@@TheSalonLife I always use jojba and vitamin e oil on my oil I use daily
I have been watching your videos recently; first time commenter. I used to do my nails weekly but have not really cared for my nails like I used to. Now after listening to your advice, I stopped cutting what I thought were my cuticles and have been applying oil and cream with urea religiously and caring an orange stick in my handbag 🙂
Thank you so much, Anna!! You have shown me the importance of investing in oneself. Now I will try warm oil treatments, too.
Thank you so much for your knowledge on nail care! I often times feel crazy because I won’t do acrylics, gels, or dips. It’s so hard not to.
I’ve just discovered your channel in the past week and I’m absolutely amazed by everything. I actually studied beauty therapy many years ago (though I didn’t pursue that) learning about the anatomy of the nails, amongst other things, and I still didn’t know the difference between the PNF and the cuticle. My mind is blown.
I’ve just started following your advice for peeling nails and general care and they’re looking so much better already. Thank you!!
Hi Anna, Your content is very appreciated. I have followed your recommendations for dry, brittle nails with ridges as well as the "correct" way to treat my cuticles (no more cutting my skin). My nails already show great improvement. Thank you
Love your advice, my nails have been improving with the gentle pushing of the cuticle, the Kersal and the jojoba oil after washing my hands. My nails have gotten very dry and ridged (post menopausal). Sticking with these routines has helped in a short amount of time! Thank you
Hello @tab5567, what is the "kersal" you mention in your comment?
Thank you for this 🤗 I've done the warm oil twice now and will honestly say it has made quite a significant difference to my peeling nails. I was shocked to see improvement after one treatment - I used olive & grapeseed oil as it was what I have on hand.
Thank you! So helpful. I felt so alone with my brittle peeling nails for SO long and now I find so many others have the same problem! So helpful you are both educating us on the real problems with real solutions. This all explains why I could get some benefit from nail strengtheners from June and Olive or NailTech…then end up worse than when I started with low, low horizontal cracks. I was over hardening without adding in the flexibility. I am currently in a long term treatment phase, based on all your recommendations, but I still plan to send in my pics soon for evaluation..! Thanks Anna, -Jenny
Doing my first oil treatment while watching this video. Thank you so much for showing us how to do one. My nails have never looked better since finding your Channel 😊
ALL THE LOVE!! I'm reviewing this video as I need some warm oil for these nails and knew just where to come. My hands and nails have been transformed after following your thoughtful advice and I am part of an international community of Anna and MSL fans forever!
Omg I'm glad I found this channel, I have been biting my nails for years; I stopped at 8th or 9th grade. But I never liked those Acrylic nails, tried them 2 or 3 times in my life and i saw that they just made my nails worse. Fast forward to a job I used to be at for 7 yrs and wow they are weak and brittle and bendy. At that job was required to wash hands constantly and I wasn't allowed to wear anything on them. I resigned 7 years after and I'm glad that in my current job I can wear polish. Been looking for ways to heal them up and this is what I want. Good nail data and they can be pretty!!
I have been doing oil treatment on my nails since I was 16 years old with very good results and I use olive oil.
Hi Anna, I wish there was an equivalent of 'YOU', (who can be trusted) - teaching us with the same standards as yours, for face beauty creams/treatments! Your nail knowledge is amazing! We could do with an expert in face creams 😃
There is, Paula Begoun. :) I loved her skin care line before she sold it. I mean the products are still good but more expensive now.
Beautypedia is still my go to when it comes to ingredients.
I slather the oil on then put hands in baggies then fold a hot pad over. The treatment really helps !
That treatment does wonders for your feet too!
I’m glad I found you!!! Thank you for the tips. I have dishydrotic eczema on my hands and that has ruined my nails and cuticles. Now I can do my own manicure 😊 Thank you so much!!!❤❤❤
I really appreciate your detailed explanations! Thanks Anna
Thank you Vicky! I'm so glad my video helped :))
Such useful information! I appreciate the explanation as to how the oil actually works to improve the nail. Thank you for all the time you have spent on these videos. Love your accent too! 💕
You are very welcome :) thank you for your comment :)
Thank you so very much Anna for this video. I'm pretty new to watching your channel but I have been binge watching you for the last week and have been treating my PNF with the care she deserves!
It took me a while to find this video with the directions for the warm oil soak but the quest was worthwhile. Your information is top notch and your teaching style is infectious. Thanks for your hard work.
I have had splitting, peeling, terrible nails for probably the past 10 years. I’ve been piling the skin & cuticle nightly, but will take this weekend to give them a break from polish and do the warm oil treatments. Such a wealth of natural nail care, thank you!
I am so glad I came across your channel! I actually started using oil on my nails somewhat recently as I came to the epiphany on my own that it would improve the health of my nails. It’s already made a big difference and I can’t wait to start implementing some of your advice!
I was so glad to have found your channel a few years ago. The information that you share and teach is information that I have learned over the last 20 years of doing my own nails. All the youtube channels and some websites I had found (until I found yours), even with certified nail techs and nail instructors, give wrong information. There is one site that parrots Doug Schoon's info as their own to sell their product, and then puts a tiny byline somewhere. Also, a recent video from a well-loved nail instructor on youtube shocked me because I thought she was on the up and up for the most part. All that to say I truly appreciate your passion, the research you do, and the care you take to inform and avoid misinforming. It is really nice to know that I can rely on the 'new to me' information you share as being correct and not harmful in any way. Thank you so much for that!
Thank you are the first person to explain this and I have done a nail course!
I've been using oils for awhile, but it was one of your videos about Mavala hardener that was the most helpful. My nails don't peel now when I wear polish. Thank you for such a great breakdown of the science behind nails.
I would love to message you my nail progress pictures since October 2023! I’d love to show you how your advice has allowed my nails to heal from an acrylate allergy (I’m a dental hygienist of 17 years… I LOVE your channel).
I did this with castor oil and a paraffin treatment. I only had organic castor oil in the house. The combination with the warmth of the paraffin wax, made great results! WOW!!! Im going to order the other oils too. My nails are so bad from gel manicures. Cant wait to see the results.
You need a very penetrating oil. Castor oil is very thick and doesn’t penetrate nail very well so it won’t plasticize it as much as jojoba for example.
Loooove this! I will def be adding this into my weekly routine now. I have been using oils and creams daily, as you have suggested with my nails, and can't wait to show you the result.
Hi Anna, thank you for this information! I think I will rub the leftover oil into my feet and hands. No waste, triple benefit from one recipe.
Olive oil is a great oil to use as it calcifies the nails but makes them flexible. I have very dry nails and olive oil really helps, I apply it before watching Netflix and I put it on my toenails and put socks on as an overnight treatment. It’s great on the lips. I also use Estée Lauder Night Repair serum around my nails which softens the skin.
Why olive oil when there are so many other much better choices? According to research olive oil can actually damage skin barrier
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22995032/
@@TheSalonLife Thanks for replying and that’s really interesting. I actually should have specified it’s the extra virgin olive oil that I use. I started applying it on my nails and after about a month, I noticed how much stronger yet flexible they were. I have three table spoons of it a day and it is such a good source of nutrients. I have read lots on PubMed that say how beneficial extra virgin olive oil is and I must say, it helps my skin and nails a lot. I would try sunflower oil.
Do you rate OPI Nail Envy? I very much enjoy your videos 😊.
Thank you for all the education and information about the products you use/love/don't love. LOVE IT
Thank you kindly for your channel support :)) ❤️
After seeing this video a month ago, I started doing the warm oil soak every Saturday and it's helped quite a bit with the peeling and cracking. They look pretty darn good bare, too!
First of all, just found your channel and you have taught me more about nail care than anyone in my 76 years! I have started massaging oil into my nails several times a day and especially after I wash them, then put lotion on top of that! Could you add caster oil to the jojoba oil to soak the nails? I am already after a couple days seeing a great improvement to my nails. I do a lot of gardening and art, my nails take a beating. I can’t wear latex gloves to do household chores so your methods are really helping to make a great difference in my nails. Thanks so much!
Omg, where have you been all my nail life 😅. The education behind the action!!! I love TH-camrs that I can trust. Thank you for sharing the back up to your tips. Trying this for my thin, bending nails. Just bought an essie nail hardener after talking with my doctor, improving my nutrition, protein intake and not seeing much results.
I’ve just recently started watching your channel, mainly because I’m now using Dazzle Dry polish system. I love it! And love all your advice on your videos. Since I’ve come to trust your advice, I decided to watch this video on the nail care for brittle nails. My nails crack right in the corners and tear off very easy. The Dazzle Dry has helped, but I wanted to get to the “root” of the problem. I’ll reply back with the results after using these oils for a few months.
OMG I'm so glad to have come across your site, ! I'm going to take your advice for brittle nails and do the oil treatments, thank you so much !!
I'm going to start doing this for my brittle nails and stop wasting money on nail strengtheners. Thank you so much for your informative videos. I love them all.
This is very helpful. You give such complete, understandable instructions. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you so very much you have helped my lifelong nail problems.
I just discovered your channel yesterday and find you super informative. I tried doing my own polygel nails at home recently, and got very over zealous with an e-drill on my cuticles and I'm sure you can imagine what some of my nails look like now that they're growing out a bit. Your tips are going to come in very handy as I try to grow out the damage I managed to do to my nails. I WILL be giving my natural nails a break for sure! Thank you so much for sharing this info and I will be going thru your other videos for more tips and info. Definitely got a new subscriber. :) Thanks again and keep up the great work!
So glad I found you, I’m trying to improve my nails and all your advice is really helping, I just have a question about doing the warm oil for my nails, once I’ve done that treatment can I reuse that oil again or dose it get thrown away, thank you so much for all your advice 💗
I guess you could but pay attention to smell changes. You don't want the oil to go rancid.
I’m listening to your content every day while I decorate- not the best habitat for nails, I’m wearing gloves!) I’ve learnt so much from you 🥳👏🏻🥳👏🏻
How much I learned watching your manicure and listening to your advice. Thank you so much!🙋♀️🌹❤️
You're the best nails expert!
Thank you! 😊
I bought my first bottle of Jojoba oil upon your recommendation and have been oiling after handwashing. I am doing my first oil treatment and plan to do it weekly. Thank you for your content. It is very practical and informative.
You are very welcome! I’m happy I could help! :)
I appreciate all that you do for us Anna! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Keisha! ❤️
Oh you are good. You are REAL good. Stellar information from someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. Excellent video. New subscriber here. 😃
I’ve been doing a lot of the things you are suggesting for quite sometime now….because I did extensive research myself. I use a small square electric mug-warmer to keep my nail-soaking oil consistently warm as I soak. I add in a couple pinches of sea salt because it helps to re-mineralize the nails and a few drops of tea tree oil. The salt and the Teatree oil prevent bacteria growth so I can reuse the oil for quite a while before I have to refresh.
Warm oil treatments have transformed my nails into something I previously only dreamed about. I soak my nails 30 minutes every single day in a combination blend of jojoba, avocado, olive, grapeseed, castor, apricot, coconut and vitamin E oils….plus some added shea and cocoa butters as well. Oh and a bit a freshly squeezed lemon juice. My nails are long, stong and amazing.
I keep them bare most of the time, because my treatments are more important to me than having painted but unhealthy brittle nails. Plus people think they are fake when I paint them. Having them bare, allows me to get the full benefits of my nail treatments plus people know they are real and their jaws drop when they see them. Lol. I get constant compliments and inquiries from people asking how I do it.
Also, have you heard of Dior “creme abricot” nail strengthening cream? Worth every penny and will give “OMG” results. Pricy but worth it and lasts a very a long time.
I also use cornucrescine horse hoof ointment overnight on my nails. Perfectly safe for human use and your nails will grow like you never thought possible. I kid you not.
All of this has given me the nails of my dreams. 🥰
Grape seed oil has smaller molecules and penetrates skin quicker. I would definitely use it 😊
I’ll be doing this tonight and making it a weekly treat! Thank you Anna. 🥰Diana
Thank you so much for making these nail advice and care videos. I have been biting my nails since I can remember and only recently stopped for good. This has left me with terrible nail beds, brittle, soft and weak nails and inflamed and hardened skin. I have stopped cutting the skin around my nails and bought all the cremes you recommended - the Eucerin repair cream and the Cicaplast one as well. I have also bought the cuticle oil and have been using it in combination with shea butter and simple bio oil alternating between the 3. Kerasal has helped me a lot too. It has been two weeks and the skin around my nails has never looked better!!! I am going to incorporate the hot oil treatments as well. Thank you again, I really appreciate your video content so much!
Ok, here goes, I'll be following your methods to restore my nails . Sooo glad I canceled the acrylic appointment and discovered you. Thank you for sharing a comprehensive guide. (US follower) Check back to you later with my 'new' nails.
You are very welcome! Please take before pictures! It's so gratifying to see progress!!
Hello Anna, So glad to have found your channel. I have ugly hands and using your instructions on how to care for your nails has made a huge difference, thank you so much for all of your information!!!!
I’ve been gnawing on my cuticles for years, but since I’ve discovered your channel I’m improving this habit. I’ve noticed that I’m tempted when I’m anxious. Anyway, I’m Paying Attention to it, now! Thank you 🙏
Hello Amy! Have you seen this video?
HORRIBLE CUTICLES? THINK AGAIN! This info will change everything! 🤯[ANNA’S NAIL ADVICE]
th-cam.com/video/Q5_kSyzWI-s/w-d-xo.html
I just found you two days ago after I purchased Blue Cross cuticle remover-so I broused you tube to learn more about it. I have learned an enourmous amount education listenting to your explanations and tips. Thank You so much.
Thank you for this. I developed ridges down my nails about a year ago. I found this video a couple of months ago and gave it a try. The ridges have almost gone on most nails. My thumb nails are still the most obvious and weirdly I seem to have developed a much higher ridge right down the centre of two nails but those are slowly looking better as well.
Wow! This is a game-changer! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for this video. My nails are so damaged from years of gel and acrylics. I took my gel off about 2 weeks ago and have been applying jojoba oil at least once a day (sometimes up to 3x a day) and leaving the polish off. My nails are looking much better already and feeling stronger. I know water is not great for my nails and wear gloves when dishwashing but they get wet in the shower.
Would you recommend wearing polish now to protect them of do you suggest leaving the polish off while they recover? I probably have about another month until the damaged part of my nails is grown out.
I have been following Anna’s advice for 3 weeks and am seeing results. Wish I had found Anna 40 years ago. Ha ha.
I do have one question. Can I save the oil in a covered glass jar and use it again? Thank you Anna!
Thank your for teaching us ❣ I never would have considered that my nails could be dry 😅 They've gotten so much better since I started the oil treatment 😍
New sub. here after getting a solution to my nails after struggling for some months now
Ooohhhh I didnt see this before, I saw some other video where you said to use oil after handwashing and for the past 2 weeks I have been using the sally hansen and Essie nail and cuticle oil everyday (like I basically carry it with me lol) and my nails look and feel much better. Now I am going to implement this step, I am so sure that they would look gorgeous by the end of another two weeks. Thank you thank you thank youuuuuuuuuu 💖💖💖
I’m so glad that I found your content…. I have learned a lot about nails after watching you work. I am going to do this warm oil soak next manicure at home. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
I can't wait to try this - so easy and so soothing.
Thanks. I’ll get a mixture of this going for my daughter. Nice present to give to friends too ♥️🇮🇪
Yeah, that’s a great idea, thanks for sharing 😊
You suggested I watch this as a reply to my comment on another of your videos. I’m new to you & so glad to suggested this! I’m a new fan. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
The answer to the question I didn't not realise I needed to ask! So helpful my nauls are always so susceptible to splittling and dammage after polish. Thank you for creating such useful and knowledagble content and for delivering it with personality too! Contining to support and watch your channel with joy! xS
Yay, thank you so much for such kind words :)
Thanks for making this video and keeping it so informative and scientifically accurate!
Dear Dear Anna, Thank you for your dedication to nail care and all your patient explanations. I found you after I removed one too many gel polishes. My nail were thin and peeling. I had a bottle of China Glaze cuticle oil and have used it for about 2 months now and my nail are almost fully grown out from the damage, my splitting issues seem resolved too. The process is slow but that is the reality of recovery from the damage - as you say. I think that they are looking really good and they seem stronger than ever! I followed your instruction to use cuticle oil after washing - all day and before bed. I have done the warm oil treatment - that felt Soo good! I've kept my nails trimmed short as you recommended in one of your videos. I am thrilled that my nails are looking and feeling so good! I'm in BC, Canada, and can find some of the products you recommend - I tried CND Rescue Rxx and I seemed to have a reaction as my hands got wildly itchy. The CND Solar oil seems ok. I took off the last gel polish myself with the CND remover and special pads. I plan to get another gel mani when I go away for several weeks, as they do last long and I will get it removed without getting another one for a long time. In the past I have gotten manis with regular polish from time to time but mainly I have natural nails. Thank you so much for all your great information to help us have healthy nails!
The mail oil does work. I do daily cuticle oil( alot) then 1x a wk, soak in warm olive& vit e oil...big difference. Thanks for the tips. No more fake nails. Ive.spent so mucj!
Try jojoba oil or even sunflower oil. Adding some avocado oil is nice too. :)
❤ just started this oil treatment
I have been using cotton Swisspers with the exfoliating side to apply the oil. I keep a few saturated in oil by the sink so I remember to use after washing my hands.
I'm sitting here wondering why I never thought to do this, I do warm oil treatments for my hair with sweet almond and grapeseed oil. It makes perfect sense to do this for nails, thank you!
Thank you for this! My nails suffer from peeling and hope this is the fix :)
Great advise excelllent content. I have done a course on manicure and know how to do nails but am not working as manicurist. However no one taught me how to take care of the nails so i love what i am learning from you now❤❤❤
I have a nail split starting horizontally from the cuticle to the end. Dr told me it is irreparable, I never use to manicure they were very strong. ever since the nail split I’ve started to have my manicure done. Now they are week and thin and soft. Do you think I could correct the nail split and start repairing the rest?
I love your videos , was hopping you could give me some advise.
I just found your channel and will be doing this treatment asap! I have always wanted nice nails but never knew where to start. Thank you for all of the advice!
Anna, in the description you say, "I used 50 ml (1.5 oz) of a mixture of jojoba, avocado, grape seed oil, and sunflower oil." What is the ratio of the oils in your mixture (or the volume of each you used.) I would like to duplicate your mixture. Thank you.
Yes - I have this exact same question.
Love jojoba oil and I never thought about warming it up. Thanks for the great advice Anna! 🌹
❤ I also noticed from using castor oil for my hair, it’s been making my nails really strong and long. 😊
Thank you for this recipe. I am on it. I did softly glass file the pointer finger lateral nail fold. Appreciate the tip.
Love Doug Shoon methods found out about them on my bliss kiss from Ana Seidel she’s amazing and her oil lotion etc…. I also use nitrile gloves put oil on then add bliss kiss lotion stick then leave it for at least 2 hours then my own body temperature heats up the oil etc…
Anna, for those of us with severe issues, should we try to do this daily for awhile instead of weekly as you suggested in the video? Also, do you think soaking nails in oil then wearing rubber gloves for a while or overnight is comparable? Thanks! -Jenny
Also wondering about this too
I wouldn't wear rubber gloves because I would be concerned about moisture build up.
I'm trying the same treatment but with the help of infrared lamp. It provides deep heat and its great for aches and pains too. Less oil needed as well.
I will keep you updated :)
@@TheSalonLifecan we save and reuse the oil for repeat soaks?
And how did your experiment with the infrared light + oil turn out? 🤗
@@JYPSY88 - You can definitely save the oil just make sure your hands are clean before you soak them. I also recommend a nail oil pen so you can easily apply it 2 to 3 times a day and especially after washing hands in the colder months!
I’ve used rubber gloves for a nail oil oil soak or just thick hand cream for my dry hands and it’s always worked great for me! If you’re worried about moisture like Anna said, maybe do it for a few hours or not super often?? I have really dry skin to begin with so in the colder months and especially with all of the extra handwashing, I also always keep a nail oil pen with me at all times so I can easily apply it throughout the day! I just get empty ones on Amazon and fill them with my own oil 😊
Hi Anna, I’m sorry if the answer to these questions are in the comments already, I didn’t see them but there are so many comments!
Can you reuse the oil for several treatments? And how long should you keep your nails in the oil?
Thanks so much for your content and sharing your knowledge 😊😊
I have the same question. I keep my nails 5-7 minutes in the oil, wipe off and massage the rest on my hand. I reused my iol twice and was thinking to renew the oil every month. Not sure this is okay
The answer is below in Kay's remark
@@gertivanlier5379 which one is "Kay's" remark? I don't find anyone with the name Kay.
Jojoba oil is amazing I put it on my face every night
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I missed a couple of things. How long should you soak your nails in heated oil?
Can you reuse the oil?
Can you soak nails damaged from gel polish, nail fungus, or excessive filing?
Thank you very much.
Hi Anna, I just received my jojoba oil and will start doing the warm oil soaks on the weekends, will keep you posted, thank you for your videos and advise 🩷
Brilliant little video, thank you
I have very strong not very flexible nails so oil is their best friend. Happily watching your video proves I'm doing the treatment right 😊
Thank you Jo! Always good to hear from you 😘
I started doing a weekly warm oil treatment two weeks ago. Like Sherri C. I also I wonder if it is okay to reuse the oil from time to time. Second question: I have a nail that has been splitting longitudinally for a few years. Will this treatment (and the others that you recommend) eventually "fix" this problem nail?
