I wanted to point out that the cuticle is not the tiny flap of skin that is cut, that is the eponychium and technically shouldn't ever be cut. The actual cuticle is the small white sticky stuff on top of the nail. It usually sits around the base of the nail near the eponhchium, but if it has been a long time since a manicure it will grow further down the nail plate. I personally still trim the eponychium, but still leave some attached as to protect my nail from infections. I've never had a nail infection and never make myself bleed when cutting it like they do in a nail salon. That is one of the reasons I hate going to salons. I trim mine because it grows pretty long since I sporadically doe manicures and takes up a lot of the base of my nail plate. So be careful when you do your manicure if you'd adamant about trimming the "cuticle," which is actually the eponychium.
Where I live, a washing machine is considered luxury so I hand wash clothes for two adults. My nails break like it's a competition; I broke 3 today 🥲. I love this video anyways, it prepares me for better days when I can afford a washing machine 😂
You a real one for cutting your nails off and starting over. This also shows me how sure and confident you are about the tips you are giving us and that they are really healthy and they work.
I LOVE glass nail filers. They are the best. I clip my nails back once a month. Long nails are not useful for me, as I am using my keyboard for work. Some ppl can still type well with long nails. Not me. I just keep mine healthy. Thanks for the uploads✌🏾👍🏾
My nails grow fast, but my hair grows slow. I'm also clumsy so my nails are constantly chipping on random objects. I will definitely try your tips. Thank you, I love your videos!
Yeah same here but my hair grows slow because I suffer from Alopecia Areata. I’ve been going through this since I was 14. But other than that my nails stay long and strong and I never cut my cuticles. That’s why I don’t go to the Asian salons.
Yes I cant wait for the stronger nail video. I don't want long nails, but still want some length. I'm tired of my nails getting snagged on books and ripping off. I ended up cutting what growth I had all down to nubs and starting again. About to do a pre dinner manicure
Girl you are reading my mind! Yesterday , my acrylic nail ripped off with most of my real nail with it. I literally said that’s it I’m not getting anymore fake nails. I’m tired of the drama and pain that comes with keeping them up
Same thing kinda happened to me. Last time I got my nails done they were so damage and fragile I said I will never spend money to ruin my natural body again
I was never able to grow my nails throughout my life until I started using cuticle oil everyday. Once it worked, I made my own and the rest is history!
@@IjeomaThePlantMama the most important oils for nails! Jojoba (should be the basis of EVERY cuticle oil. It’s the holy grail oil for nails), Sweet Almond, Olive Oil, Vitamin A and E oil, Grapeseed oil, Squalene
Thank you for this!!!!! While watching I started thinking about someone I know who has long nails and long hair.. having the thought that they may be connected then at the end you said it! I can’t wait for you to post more videos about nails! I want to grow my nails.. hair.. and not just grow them, but make them stronger! I look forward to your next uploads!!
Another great video filled with knowledge that I did not know about! I learn sooo much from your videos, who knew about the glass files? Can't wait to get these and the buffers. Thank you so much for all your extensive research that you share with us. You are truly a blessing!
Thank you for this, unfortunately I damaged one of my nails over 10 years ago due to the wearing the artificial nail. It bended when I was lifting an heavy object and ever since then, my nails has been growing out split in the middle. I’ve tried everything and I’m wondering if it’s internal. It frustrating because that is the only one nail that looks bad.
So I just started massaging my nails exactly like you suggested and I noticed my nails 💅 are starting to get the super shine to the I was so surprised my nails normally look so dull I can wait it’s only been 1week .
Hello it would be really interesting if you made a video on Keratin straightening treatments , like their composition and stuff and a DIY version of it that is effective as well! And also about other treatments that are done to straighten the hair ! Your videos are really helpful, thank you so much 🧡☺️
You have great genetics ma'am and beautiful looking nails! There ain't no regimen other than gel nails that could help my weak, flimsy, weirdly shaped finger toppers, and even then! Even then I can't have the gelled nails in a square shape if I want to keep them whole, because the corners WILL STILL. BREAK. 😃 I blame my daddy's genetics, because my mom grows beautiful long straight looking nails than will hold even without any polish!
I was like « why is Green Beauty making nail videos now? »🙄 Then click the video and…😮😮😮Where’s my notepad😅 So much knowledge girl! Thank you for sharing it with us.
You’re trimming the nail fold, that’s skin not cuticle. The cuticle is what forms underneath the nail fold, the white substance that you scraped off your nail. So gently pushing the skin fold back reveals the cuticle that you can remove.
If you want a truly "GreenBeauty" alternative to your petroleum plastic nail buffers, try vegetable-tanned leather! It's all natural and biodegradeable.
My nails only grow to the length of yours then break. I have been thinking about getting an acrylic overlay what do you think or what would you recommend for stronger nails with less breakage?
I hate to disagree with Green Beauty but,It might be worth looking into learning how to do the acrylic/gels/polygels yourself. It's hard to find a GOOD manicurist! I've been getting acrylic manicures off and on for about 24 yrs now and the struggle is real😣 Nobody will be as gentle as you.
@@jduce68 thanks for the tip. I have everything to do acrylic nails but I can't master both hands or the bead. Im going to invest in a hand to practice with.
I know this maybe a stupid question, but does this regimen/ any nail regimen, work with your toe nails as well? Both my finger and toe nails are looking unhealthy. edit: would it be more accurate to say I'm looking unhealthy??
I like rounded nails as well. I tend to get a lot of cracks in my nail which later is the part where the nail will break. I just clip them all. I'm ok with it.
I have sickle cell anemia and my nails don't just split, they tear like paper. Plus I have the bad habit to bite my cuticles and my skin... I don't know what to do anymore 😞
I had sickle cell, I had a bone marrow transplant. I had the same issue as you. Try eating organ meats & eggs & drinking raw cows milk. It’s been a game changer for me. I’ve had short paper thin nails all my life, and now they are long -and those ridges are growing out too. Organ meats, raw cows milk, and eggs have done this for sure. ♥️
Thank you, Green Beauty 💚 I’d never heard of glass or stone cuticle erasers! I can’t buff my nail surfaces, I get wavy bumps, so I keep my nails & cuticles oiled.
I have a similar routine but I keep my nails really low now, I like the aesthetics of short nails on long nail beds, but then I discovered how annoying it is for your body to keep making something quicker than you want!😅 When I wanted long nails it seemed so slow, now that I don't, I file on Wednesdays and by Saturday I'm wondering if I had a lucid dream about filling my nails 3 days prior 😭 I can't wait till I get to that kind of contentment with my hair where I'm no longer feeling like I'm watching paint dry. The funny thing is just realised nails and hair may grow at the same rate, 0.5inches a month is about 1mm every three days. But I guess the expectation for hair make it seem slow.
I will definitely try this method because I probably do my nails more than twice a month. I try to keep a clear gel coat on top to keep them from breaking. But my nails always grow to a certain length n then break off.
Thanks for sharing. I'm always shaping my nails as square oval. I agree with going to a spa (preferably an eco-friendly one) vs the heavy chemicals ones.
This has nothing to do with this video but do u happen to know oils or active ingredients that r good for dry scalp? I am looking for thé perfect mix to put in a deep conditionner cause my scalp tends to be dry after washing it out

FACTS. I’m not used to using a cuticle softener so, I definitely took off too much skin on the right side of the screen. I’ll pin this.
@@GreenBeauty I cut mine top short often and then regret it. I accidentally cut them too short this time. Thank you for the video and the pin!
Where I live, a washing machine is considered luxury so I hand wash clothes for two adults. My nails break like it's a competition; I broke 3 today 🥲. I love this video anyways, it prepares me for better days when I can afford a washing machine 😂
I would recommend you used latex gloves when you do your chores, I found that my nails chipped and broke off far less when I adopted that habit
@@yolisakanyiwe7236 I was going to suggest the same thing. I found this with cleaning the house and washing dishes
@@yolisakanyiwe7236 thank you very much, I will definitely try that

That's not true. You're just not properly retaining length

This was so well done! I will definitely be following these tips especially after seeing your progress with just 6 weeks of consistency!

Thanks so much for doing a nail care series! Can’t wait to try your recommendations. Will there be something about polish alternatives? Thanks again.
Sally Hansen sells Formaldehyde free shades and they are lovely.

this is the same problem I have..
I’ve never heard of a glass nail file
I bought mine from Company A. Been using them for almost two years. Once you use them on your nails. You won’t go back to the old ones. Facts.
They’re much more gentle on your nails!
They have diamond nail files as well, those work good too.
I've never heard of a glass nail file either. Where can I purchase one? My cuticles are always so thick.
@@sharondadottery6551 Company A.

me :breathes: nail breaks
Thank you for this video, I learned some new techniques and tools!
i love ur channel
My nails are long and I literally do nothing but wash my hands regularly lol they grew very fast. My hair is a slow grower.
“I decided to cut my nails off” me: 😳. Oh you’re dedicated lol

Nice nails! I like to shape my nails square with the edges rounded
Very helpful! Thank you so much for sharing your routine! I would like to see a similar video on your skin routine as well!
Thank you fort this sis!! Now I am going to incorporate manicures into my self care rituals.
Your voice is so soothing! Thank you for educating us
How often do you clean your nails during the day when they get dirty ?
You have great genetics ma'am and beautiful looking nails! There ain't no regimen other than gel nails that could help my weak, flimsy, weirdly shaped finger toppers, and even then!

Thank you for the tip on glass nail files! I now use one exclusively and it really is a gamechanger!
What about a person who washes dishes and uses water a lot? How can you maintain your nail length without breaks?
Gloves,gloves n gloves ❤
I love glass nail files, I agree that they are better than the traditional ones
It’s so hard too do with shaking hands. My cuticles look choppy
Wow glass nail filer!
Hey sis! God bless you
You’re trimming the nail fold, that’s skin not cuticle. The cuticle is what forms underneath the nail fold, the white substance that you scraped off your nail. So gently pushing the skin fold back reveals the cuticle that you can remove.
I love/enjoyed this information and video. Thank you! 💛💛
great regimen
Can you talk about how people with ridges on their nails can get rid of them if you have any information or knowledge in regards to that?
If you want a truly "GreenBeauty" alternative to your petroleum plastic nail buffers, try vegetable-tanned leather! It's all natural and biodegradeable.
My nails grow very fast and my hair grows slow. I would like to know how the two are connected

Wow, cutting your nails?!💅🏾... The lengths (pun intended😉) you go to to help/ convince us. Thx!
You're not supposed to cut you're cuticles.... just push them back with an orange stick
I know this maybe a stupid question, but does this regimen/ any nail regimen, work with your toe nails as well? Both my finger and toe nails are looking unhealthy.

Genetics. I literally do nothing to my nails. They've always been long
Good for you. She’s telling us how she keeps her nails long and healthy. Not everyone is you.🙄
Do you moisture your nails through out the month or you only moisture when you do the treatment..
I’ve been waiting ages for this video!!! 😫🙌🏿💯👍🏿👍🏿
Waiting for the next video ma'am.
Do you ever get hang nails? Or in the past, have you had them? I will appreciate any tips about this @Greenbeauty
Thank you so much!
My cuticles are soft all the time so it breaks so easily no strength @ all, do you know a solution?
I thank you!! I need this!!
I love that you have details! I also have natural long nails and only do a full manicure once a month. Take care and be blessed 💜
Question, do you do your manicures yourself?
You honestly have beautiful nails!
I wanted to ask if you do have UK shipping available for your hair care products?
Thanks .. Yes we ship to the UK all the time. But, transit times are longer right now for oversees shipments due to COVID.
Wow!! the fact that you cut your nails down to the nubs just to show us how effective this regimen is...my goodness! you are awesome!
Where is the postpartum shedding updates? Been waiting sis
It’s coming. I want to make sure I have all the info.
Thank you for the nail care routine
Will you consider doing a skincare routine too? Your skin is absolutely gorgeous
That's really helpful thanks so much

For the wavy bumps you’re probably lacking minerals. I’m thinking zinc but you should definitely look into that.
Can you talk about the discoloration or black strips in nails?
Glass nail filer!!?!? What?!? Never in my life have I heard of that! Wow
🤯 lol
Thank you for the tips!💚
Where do you buy your manicure tools ?
When are we going to see them toes☺️?
Will you have a Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale this year? I can’t wait to stock up and get stocking stuffers for the girls!!
Thank you so much for this. What do you think about nail soaks with ingredients like lemon juice, olive oil, or sea salt for nail growth?
