If you want your girl to always have neat hands - take her with you to the salon where you do your manicure. In modern salons do both adult manicure and children's manicure. Not necessarily the first time, but, looking at this procedure once or twice, the baby will definitely ask her to process the nails and even paint with varnish, like my mother. Here, each mother decides for herself whether it is necessary or not to varnish the nails of the child. But you need to know that time does not stand still, and today a special technology has been developed that manicures girls. And for children to be interested, funny drawings are painted on the surface of the nail. The girl will take care of such a drawing and therefore will begin to more closely monitor the cleanliness of her nails.
If your girl is already a teenager, then she hardly needs to be persuaded to go to the salon, she will agree with pleasure, and you can be sure that this will be a reason for pride, because all her friends will see her manicure. Among other things, a manicure for girls is another way to emphasize your image - the shade of varnish and the pattern on it will become another detail of the chosen suit or dress. Here is a work for you: nurture in your daughter a taste and sense of style.
Is there a better way than a manicure to rid a child of such a bad habit as nail biting. Many children bite their nails, and this causes problems not only with appearance, but also with health: a large number of microbes and bacteria enter the child’s body in this way. The desire not to spoil the beautiful pattern on the nails does its job, but at one time the child, of course, will not get rid of this habit. Constancy is important here, and then you are guaranteed success. By the way, you can also wean a boy from this habit, in the salons they also make manicures for children who bite their nails. The nails are briefly trimmed for the children and the nail plate is treated with a special matte varnish that does not have harmful impurities, but has a bitter taste that does not wash off. However, do not forget that the root of the nail biting problem is due to psychological reasons, so do not postpone your visit to a child psychologist at the same time and find out the reason why the child bites his nails.
If the girl herself is trying to make a manicure for herself, do not encourage her in this endeavor. Such a procedure should be carried out by specialists, since children have physiological characteristics of nails, which the master must take into account.
A manicure for girls is done only unedged. For very young children, dry manicure is done, for older girls, hot.
