What is the recommended thickness for nail enhancements?

The recommended thickness for nail enhancements is thin enough to maintain flexibility. This approach is essential because overly thick enhancements can become rigid and prone to breaking or lifting, compromising the integrity of the nail and the health of the natural nail underneath. A flexible nail enhancement allows for natural movement and better adherence to the nail plate, providing both durability and a more natural appearance.

Maintaining an appropriate thickness also helps in ensuring that the enhancements are comfortable for clients and reduces the risk of injury or damage during daily activities. The goal is to achieve a balance between strength and flexibility, allowing the enhancements to withstand various stressors while still looking aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, the focus is on achieving a thickness that supports these qualities rather than simply making the enhancements as thick as possible or uniform across different nail types.
