In our time, the question of the child's manicure becomes more urgent, but many parents seem more concerned about this and more unnecessary occupation for the child.
Manicure is, first and foremost, a necessary hygienic procedure for nails, which, in turn, allows you to teach your child to look after his appearance from childhood. This procedure should be carried out regularly, since untimely removed burrs on the children's fingers can provoke various inflammatory processes. In addition, little women of fashion try as long as possible to keep the beauty on their nails and therefore they do not have a desire to gnaw their nails.
How to make a child's manicure?
To begin to do a manicure is necessary already at preschool age, and its periodicity depends on the intensity of growth and the general condition of the child's nails. It should be clearly understood that a child's manicure as a healing procedure is needed both for girls and boys. In modern salons, children usually make a children's European manicure. The main difference of this type from the classical manicure is that the cuticle is not removed by tweezers, but carefully removed with a wooden or manicure stick. Thus, he excludes the use of metal tools and the possibility of infection, which means less dangerous and painless, which is a direct task when doing a child's manicure.

- Disinfection . Before you start the baby's manicure the hands of the child must be treated with an antiseptic.
- Shaping the nails . Nail plates are filed with a special file, sometimes to remove the grown nail use cutting pliers. But it should be noted that in any case, do not cut the nail too short.
- Grinding and polishing . The edges of the nails are gently ground and polished.
- Deburring . If the child's skin is dry and there are burrs, the hands should be rinsed in a bath with soapy water. Eliminate the burrs with pliers, while only the loose part that clings is cut off. It is then recommended to disinfect the skin around the nail plate with hydrogen peroxide.
- Cuticle treatment . It is not recommended to remove cuticles from children, since this is quite traumatic. If the cuticle is large, you can apply massaging movements of balm or oil, after which, with the help of a file, the keratinization of the peri-oral grooves is removed.
