This is the point I'm making!
There is a 'pay off'! Even from washing your hands several times a day.
It's accepted that hair needs help: from hard water, from colour etc. Who questions having to use conditioner??
Hands in water; removing polish; removing a gel polish or Shellac. There is a payoff! There are many products that don't damage the natural nail but solvents do! (and water is a solvent!) We, as a professional industry, needs to acknowledge what research is showing us!
There IS a payoff that the hair industry has acknowledged. Why can't the nail industry understand it?
I thought we did, hence the solar oil mantra! If solar oil is conditioner for nails, is IBX like a keratin treatment??
