Child’s manicure isn’t something new, and lots of parents have already tried it. Let’s start from the very beginning and talk about the details and specific aspects of kid’s nails. The speed of nail growth depends on your age. Men’s nails grow faster than women’s nails, and the child’s nails grow the fastest. That’s why European manicure (with cuticles pushed back) is the best for children. However, the technique of child’s manicure differs significantly from a usual manicure.
The peculiarities of the child’s manicure
Nails begin to form during fembryofoetal development from the embryonic nails, which later remain in the form of pterygium. Pterygium is a thin layer of cuticle, adjacent to the nail plate and growing with it. But in the womb nails grow so insignificantly that the newborn’s nail plate only covers the nail bed, not forming a free edge of the nail. Child’s nail structure is similar to the adult’s one, but there are age differences. One of them is an extremely large pterygium, as well as a thin cuticle and peel along the nail plates edges. Because of this, children often have infection of the nail germinal parts and hang-nails. At school age, the nail plate can remain thin due to the nail growth plate (matrix) is not long enough. It causes so-called “white spots” on the nail plates.
From what age child’s manicure is allowed?
There is no specific age limit, because a child’s manicure is primarily a hygienic procedure, to which the child should be taught from childhood.
Advantages of the child’s manicure:
- Timely removal and hang-nails treatment prevents infection in child’s body.
- Thanks to the child’s manicure, the child is weaned from the bad habit of nails biting.
- The procedure teaches boys and girls to take care of their appearance from childhood.
