The Ultimate Guide to Nail Care with Stringpickr
Introduction
- Why Nail Care is Important for Guitarists: Healthy, strong nails are essential for guitarists, as they are crucial in many music styles. Stringpickr products are specially designed to keep your nails in optimal condition as a guitarist.
The Basics of Nail Care with Stringpickr
- Nail File:
- How and When to File: Use the Stringpickr nail file when your nails become too long or when small damages occur. It's important to always file your nails rather than cut them to prevent cracks and splits. If damage occurs, file it away as soon as possible to prevent it from worsening.
- Shaping vs. Polishing: The Stringpickr file has a unique feature: with more pressure on the nail, you shape it, and with less pressure, you polish it. There’s no difference between the two sides of the file.
- Always File in One Direction: Filing in one direction reduces the chances of your nails catching on strings and helps seal the nail edge, protecting it from moisture and dirt that can get between the layers. This helps keep nails healthy and strong, preventing splitting or becoming brittle.
- Nail Hardener:
- Why It’s Important: Stringpickr’s nail hardener strengthens your nails, making them less prone to splitting or cracking.
- How to Use: Apply the nail hardener to clean nails. Let it absorb for at least 5 minutes, but ideally 15 minutes, before washing your hands or proceeding with the next step in your routine. Use it daily until the desired hardness is achieved, then once or twice a week to maintain strong nails.
- Nail Oil:
- Hydration and Nourishment: Stringpickr nail oil is essential for hydrating both your nails and cuticles, and it pairs perfectly with the nail hardener.
- How to Use: Apply the oil preferably every night before bed, so it can absorb overnight. This keeps your nails flexible and prevents drying and cracking.
