The slightest bit of moisture would start bacteria and fungus to flourish since the foot is a dark damp place. And cotton absorbs moisture. Also if any of the cotton is left under the nails after sometime, either left purposely or accidentally then it would start to break down - creating the best environment for disaster. Mentioned earlier was acrylic... this is a great idea because it thickens up the nail plate and thus preventing it to cut into the flesh. However for pincher (involuted or imbedded) nails this is a temporary relief it doesn’t fix or reshape the nails. What you need is a brace....a brace would work like the nose strips that prevents people from snoring. I recommend the BS Brace found at the International Pedicure Association. The BS Brace is a fibreglass strip that the technician measures to fit the nail perfectly across the nail plate, it is then adhered with a strong resin, and then sealed with a top coat like sealer. The Brace forces the nail to eventually flatten out. After the nail grows out ¾ of the way... and the brace along with it... another brace can be applied. To order this brace contact the International Pedicure Association Linda can help you... tell her I sent you and that you are from the Beauty Tech Group. www.pedicureassociation.org [email protected] Keep those feet happy! :-) Dayna Knight *From:* [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Debbie Doerrlamm *Sent:* February 11, 2011 2:40 AM *To:* [email protected] Subject: Re: NailTech:: ingrown nails Michelle is right : curette (thanks Michelle) I dont need a rasp because i can get the file on the corners because they are not kept super short ...
