Question
I have very brittle nails that break deeply, so I get nail extensions. However, every time I remove the extensions for immersion, my nails break significantly, and I need to repair them. Is it possible to immerse without removing the nail extensions?
Answer
Hello,
In such a case, it is permissible to be lenient and not remove the extensions for immersion. However, it is essential to ensure that at the time of immersion, the extensions are intact so that they serve as an adornment and are not in a state that requires repair or replacement.
