How to do a manicure for children?

The mother of girls is painfully familiar with the situation: you are painting your nails, and the baby comes up, looks with interest, extends her little fingers to you or asks you to paint at least one nail. Mom begins to have doubts.

On the one hand, I want to satisfy the baby’s cognitive interest and her desire to be beautiful. On the other hand, three-year-old girls with painted nails look ridiculous. And, most likely, the varnish coating is harmful to their health. So, when can you give your daughter a manicure?

A manicure is called a children's manicure if it is performed on a child under 15 years of age.

IMPORTANT: Children's manicure is a manicure done on girls and boys under 15 years of age.

There are two types of children's manicure:

1. Hygienic. It comes down to treating the child’s nails and the skin around them, giving the baby’s nail plate and fingers an aesthetic appearance. The procedure for preschool children boils down to carefully trimming the free edge of the nail and removing hangnails. School-age children can already treat their cuticles. Trimmed hygienic manicures are not given to children
2. Nail design. This procedure is carried out after a hygienic manicure and consists of artistic decoration of the girl’s nail plates. It cannot be called particularly necessary and useful; it can be postponed. But if the baby wants to be even more like her mother or emphasize her own individuality, she can make her first drawing on her nails at the age of 5

IMPORTANT: Not only girls, but also boys should be accustomed to hygienic children's manicure. A man’s ability to take care of his nails and fingers is his positive quality

Manicure scissors for newborns.

• To understand why and how children need a manicure, it is necessary to consider the structural features of their nails. As you know, the tips of a newborn’s fingers are covered with thin nail plates that formed during his prenatal development. As a rule, they only cover the nail bed and do not protrude beyond its edge.
• But babies born a little later than their due date may already have “claws.” Therefore, the mother gives the baby the first manicure while still in the maternity hospital or a week or two after his birth.
• To trim the free edges of a newborn's nails, she uses special scissors with safety ends. Immediately the mother notices that the baby’s nail plate is much softer and more elastic than that of an adult. She will be like this for the first 12-15 years of his life.

A child's nails are thinner and more elastic than those of an adult.

A child’s nails differ from an adult’s nails in the following ways:

1. They are more elastic. The fact is that a child's nail contains a large amount of water.
2. They are more porous and thinner, since the child’s matrix is ​​still short. They grow faster. The ideal interval between hygienic manicure procedures for children is 5-7 days.
3. The skin around a child's nails is very delicate and thin. Because of this, hangnails often appear on the nail folds.
4. Often white spots appear on children's nail plates - false leukonychea

There are several compelling arguments in favor of giving your child a manicure, and girls over 5 years old periodically pampering them with original and bright nail designs:

1. If the free edges of a child’s nail plates are neatly trimmed, firstly, it is more convenient for him. Secondly, dirt will not accumulate under the nails
2. The child learns to take care of himself, this important quality will remain with him for life
3. Children's manicure - prevention of such problems as nail biting
4. Nail design for girls is a way to show yourself as an individual, show your creativity, and increase self-esteem
5. If a mother and child do a manicure together in a salon or at home, this procedure brings them closer together and contributes to the formation of a trusting relationship between them

Manicure disciplines a child and teaches him to take care of himself.

There are also some disadvantages and risks of children's manicure:

1. If the procedure is carried out incorrectly, for example, using polishers or abrasives, there is a risk of injuring the thin and porous children's nail plate.
2. Careless handling of the cuticle and skin of the nail folds, which are extremely thin and delicate in a child, can lead to infection.
3. Low-quality nail design products can harm a child’s nails
4. A girl’s beautiful nail design can become a reason for excessive pride and boasting and distract her from her studies.
5. Decorative manicure is often not welcomed at school and, especially, in kindergarten

In beauty salons, children can have paraffin baths for their hands. These procedures will not only be beneficial for the skin, but will also give babies a pleasant feeling, which is also very important. If the manicure procedure is repeated regularly, the child will always have well-groomed nails. Caring for children's manicure involves a number of measures to ensure a balanced diet for the child. A specialist will help you focus on those minerals and vitamins that are necessary for the full development of the child’s body. In order for your baby to have strong and healthy nails, often prepare him meals based on dairy products - they contain calcium. Don’t forget, the girl takes her example from her mother, so don’t forget to do a manicure at home for yourself.

Conclusion.

Children's manicure is an excellent remedy for the problem of onychophagia - biting of nails and the skin around them. We provide the most gentle care for children's hands using untrimmed manicure, since at an early age the skin and nails are very delicate and can be easily damaged. A manicure can not only please the little princess, but also wean a child from biting his nails - after treating his nails and fingers, children often give up this bad habit.

Benefits of children's manicure:

· handles look neat and tidy;

· the habit of biting nails disappears;

· From a young age, your child acquires the habit of caring for himself.

Many mothers want their children to grow up as slowly as possible. We advise you to treat manicure for short nails for children as a way of self-expression and development of creative potential, and then fears about growing up prematurely will disappear by themselves.

How to properly perform a children's manicure on short nails at home

If a mother regularly visits a nail salon, she can take her child with her, and then the question of how to do a manicure for children will not arise. The procedure will be carried out by experienced professionals. But, as mentioned above, children's nails grow faster than adults'.

And a children's manicure, as a rule, costs even more than an adult's. Therefore, not every family has the opportunity to care for their baby’s nails only in a salon.

Girls not only love to have their nails taken care of, but also give their dolls a manicure.

Most likely, the girl will not have to be persuaded to take care of her nails at home, because she watches her mother and wants to imitate her. The girl will be happy to prepare the place for the procedure herself, lay out the tools from the manicure set, choose products for nail design and offer her ideas. Little ones also enjoy playing manicurist, caring for the dolls' fingers.

But boys often need to be tuned up. It is advisable to do this in a playful way. At home, the child is given a dry, unedged, or European manicure. This method is bloodless and painless, and the risk of injury to the child during the procedure is minimal.

To do this, you need to acquire special tools and means that must be intended for children.

The procedure is carried out as follows:

1. Tools, the hands of an adult and the hands of a child are treated with liquid or spray antiseptic
2. Using a slightly abrasive file, the free edges of the child’s nail plates are filed so that they protrude beyond the nail bed by about 2 mm. If you trim or file them further, your child will end up with a short nail.
3. The child's cuticle is not cut. It is only carefully lubricated with a special softening cream or oil, and if it is too long, it is carefully pushed aside
4. If a child has hangnails, they are carefully removed with nippers
5. The keratinized layer of skin on the nail fold is removed with a special soft file.
6. Give the child a hand massage. If there is a need to strengthen the baby’s nails, massage is given to him with special fortified oil
7. At the end of a girl's manicure, she gets a nail design.

Stages of unedged children's manicure

Before proceeding to the main stage, it is necessary to disinfect the working surface. This is necessary in order to disinfect the nails, since the baby’s immune system is still weak and not strong enough. Therefore, it is always better to play it safe once again.

Next, you need to process the edges of the nail. It is recommended to use special nail files intended for children. Be sure to leave at least 1 mm of nail length.

After this, you can begin processing the cuticle. To do this, you need to apply a softening agent to your nails. Next, you can push back the cuticle with an orange stick and carefully trim it with small nail scissors.

The coating also needs to be selected wisely. It can stop your child from biting their nails. Such varnishes contain substances that discourage children from biting their nails. When developing most of these products, technologies are used that extend the life of the varnish. Thus, manicures can be done less often.

The final and important touch is the application of a protective agent on the nails, which gently cares for delicate young skin. Do not forget that caring for the hands of a little fashionista must be carried out constantly and accustom her to this from an early age.

Is it possible to paint a child’s nails with varnish?

It is highly undesirable to paint your child’s nails with varnish. The fact is that the cosmetic product contains substances that:

• dry out and weaken the nail plate
• slow down its growth
• may cause allergies if in contact with skin or inhalation of vapors
• prevent sufficient breathing of the nail plate

Children's nail polishes.

Therefore, decorative manicures for girls from 5 to 15 years old should be done infrequently, leave the coating on the nails for no more than three days, remove it with products without acetone, and after removing the coating, carry out restorative therapy with vitamins.

IMPORTANT: For children's manicure, it is better to use special children's varnishes with a lightweight composition.

Why is manicure beneficial for children?

In childhood, many children develop such a bad habit as nail biting. In some cases, onychophagia may develop. This is a mental illness in which a person constantly bites his nails.

If a child bites his nails, this can cause infection with helminths and intestinal infections. In addition, due to frequent irritation, the skin in the claw area may become deformed.

Children's manicure allows you to get rid of a bad habit. That is why it is made not only for young fashionistas. Boys also like to bite and break off their nails, so mothers should also carefully monitor the condition of their nails.

As psychologists note, about a quarter of all children aged 7 to 12 years bite their nails. Nail art is a great opportunity to stop your child from biting his nails. Well-groomed nails not only look healthy, but also beautiful. It is important to teach little children from an early age to take care of their appearance in order to look neat and tidy.

In addition, visiting a beauty salon together improves the relationship between a mother and her child. Good relationships in the family often help to avoid many serious problems in adolescence, which should also be taken into account.

Beautiful children's manicure - drawings

Usually, it is not enough for girls who are fashionistas to simply cover their nails with a single-color varnish. They want beautiful and interesting designs on the following topics:

• flowers
• animals
• butterflies
• fruits and sweets
• "girly" symbols, such as bows or hearts
• cartoon characters
• other

Girls also really love various versions of French manicure and lace designs. They ask to decorate their nails with rhinestones, stones, and sparkles.

Children's manicure designs

The optimal length of the nail plate and design are selected depending on the age and personal preferences of the little fashionista:

• For very young visitors, we offer decor with cartoon characters, plants and animals. The space force gradient looks good. You can decorate one or all nails
• For young ladies, we will select more adult decor options. For schoolgirls, transparent or pastel-colored coatings are recommended as a base. A classic jacket with floral patterns looks good. You can make seasonal images - leaves, Christmas trees, snowflakes
• Thematic design. If a child is preparing for a significant day, then a thematic image is appropriate. For September 1st - an ABC book or a bow, for a birthday - a cake with candles, fireworks.
