I wear extensions, but they keep lifting. What's wrong?

Lifting can be caused by several things, from improper application to improper care. For example, if your nail tech failed to use an antiseptic to clean, sanitize and dehydrate the natural nail before applying nail extensions, or if she did not push back the cuticle properly when applying extensions, lifting could result. At home, using products with mineral oil and lanolin, or even taking certain prescription medications could also cause lifting. Hormonal changes in the body (such as menopause), as well as excessive stress can also contribute to lifting. The best way to avoid lifting is to go to a reputable nail tech and to take care of them properly.
