They actually serve as a protective style somewhat like how having a sew-in or weave braids are a protective style for the hair. Consider this, when a sew-in is both installed properly AND removed properly, you will notice more new growth than you would have had you had your actual hair styled. The same holds true for nails! When you get a set of acrylic nails, your nails grow because of the thick coating of acrylic that has been keepin your nails "safe" underneath. But as you know, the removal process of acrylics usually destroys or at the very least damages your natural nails, hence why those who wear acrylics usually never wear their natural nails out. They are too damaged, thin and weak.  Thus, acrylics CANNOT be considered a protective style for your nails. Press-ons however, give your natural nails the coverage and strength they need to flourish and grow and the removal process is not damaging at all! (When removed properly of course!) There! are SO many benefits to wearing press-on nails and more and more people are switching over to them permanently. If you are a person who loves nail color, nail art, nail shaping and particular nail lengths but also like to wear your natural nails out sometimes and have them be healthy, press-on nails are a great option for you! Try them for yourself and be prepared to switch over forever! Keep in mind that not all press-on nail brands/businesses are created equal! You truly do get what you pay for as with all other cosmetic products and services. Choose a brand that is knowledgable of Nail Technology, not just a nail artist. After-all, what's UNDER your extensions matter just as much as the extensions do.

Fad or Forever?]]> https://www.kpthestylist803.com/blog/media-news/title-1 Press-on nails initially became popular in the 1970s and were found in most drug stores by the 1990s so what has made them rise from the ashes and seemily take the professional beauty industry by storm in 2021? Many seem to think it was due to nail salons being mandated to shut down during the Covid-19 Pandemic.  Women were so used to having their bi-weekly fill of acrylic services, hard gel and gel polish services that the industry being shut down was simply devestating, health reasons or not. Salons being closed also posed a huge problem for nail technicians everywhere. After-all, how would they continue to maintain their households? Just like with any other career, some techs were supporting entire households on their one income. Crafty nail techs were quick on their feet in coming up with a contactless, professional looking nail job that would kill two birds with one stone. Several birds, actually. Clients would still be able to get "the look" they desired. Nail techs would still be able to generate an income while adhearing to their local state regualtions regarding the Covid-19 virus as some states threatened to revoke licenses if the tech was caught working on clients during the shutdown. Not only that, the techs would be able to satisfy their need for creating. Many may not realize this, but nail techs are generally just as excited about "creating their works of art" as clients are to be their canvas and be complimented on their nails constantly. A nice nail job is definitely a confidence booster and sometimes even a conversation starter.

Press-on nails started rolling out in the most extravagent lengths and shapes and with never seen on press-on nails before designs. But something that was re-invented to solve a temporary world-wide problem seems to have become a permanent fix for many nail enhancement and nail art lovers. Corporate women, women with heavy physical labor jobs, women with small children, athletic women and simply super busy women who had gotten used to the fact that getting their nails done was just not something they were able to do came to the realization that yes, they could! Well... not actually getting them done in a salon setting, wasting valuable time out of thier day only to be able to enjoy their nails for that weekend or two weeks vacation from work, but that they could get salon quality looking nails on and off again in uder 30 minutes! On top of that, many privately owned press-on nail brands were offering press-ons that were thick and sturdy like acrylics that could not only be applied and taken off in minutes but re-applied at a later date again and again. This was especially good for the fast food worker, plant worker or high school cheer coach who was not permitted/able to wear polish or long nails on the job but loved glaming up to attend concerts, day parties, nightclubs, weddings and so on. 

When ladies began to realize that with press-ons, gone where the days of painful, bloody and sore nail breaks, for many, there was absolutely no looking back. Honestly, there are so many benefits with press-ons as opposed to in-salon nail services that it's obvious that press-on nails are definitely here to stay.

These days, people avoid reading long articles. They tend to read only highlighted parts, and check the visual content to get an idea. Use more visuals in your articles to make them digestible and skimmable for readers.

 

Whether you promote your product through social media, or through your blog, include visuals in your strategy. This tactic will make your content more

 

  • Engaging 
  • Attractive 
  • Relatable 
  • Memorable 
  • and understandable for your readers.  

 

 

 

 

Visual posts grab readers’ attention, and encourage them to take action. They communicate more information - the data in a small text is more difficult to digest than in a 1-minute video.

 

There’s a concept called visual blogging which is a type of content blogging that connects with readers using visual content like images, videos, GIFs, infographics, and mini-infographics. These visuals can be extremely entertaining when being used in the right context. They help break up the text and highlight the important points so that readers can scan the article, and understand what it’s about.
