Flexinail takes about 25 seconds to apply. You brush on a really quick application. You don’t need to be careful applying it and if you get some on the cuticle it is NOT a problem.
After you apply, we recommend that you let it sit on your nails for several minutes or longer. If you are applying it before reading or watching TV – then let it sit on your nail for a full half hour. (Yes you can quote us on that!)
When you want the excess oil off your nails, don't rub it in as it will just absorb into the cuticles, instead take a tissue and dab off the excess.
How often do I apply FlexiNail?
Normally once a day. However, if you are currently washing your hands more or using hand sanitiser (which are both really hard on the nails) you may wish to apply FlexiNail more than once daily.
To be effective you should be applying half a 5ml bottle per month. At this level you should actually be able to apply twice a day if you wish. If you are using more than this you can probably put on a thinner application. If you find you are wiping away a lot of product then apply slightly thinner applications.
Please note it can take several months before your nails visibly improve. Initially, you will notice improvements in your cuticles, but sustainable results occur when the nail matrix (the source of new nail growth under the cuticle) absorbs the conditioner complex. Fingernails grow approximately 0.1mm per day so it will take several months for the new nail growth to reach the end of your fingertip.
FlexiNail works by penetrating into the nail and nourishing the cuticle. FlexiNail is most effective when applied to clean nails that have no polish on them as this will prevent the oil soaking in to the nail. ) If possible, apply FlexiNail before other creams or lotions you may use.
It is important to apply FlexiNail to nails that have not been exposed to water for at least half an hour (showers, baths, swimming, even hand washing). The water repels the FlexiNail and much less gets absorbed into the nail.
If your nails are extremely dry or brittle or if you are undergoing chemotherapy, it is advised to apply Flexinail two or more times daily and if possible apply at night to enable the oil to be completely absorbed).
Caution: To avoid irritation, keep fingers away from eyes immediately after applying FlexiNail (ie. putting in or taking out contact lenses etc).
