Did anyone have a problem with their cuticles. I didn't see the "use oil or grease" on cuticle to protect them until it was too late. Is this a prob

I haven't had a problem, but I take care of my cuticles before a manicure regardless. I think as long as you're careful to not smother your cuticles while painting they should be okay.

No, it hasn't been a problem for me. But, the weather is very cold here and I usually have to use baby oil on my cuticles this time of year.

I have dry cuticles anyway because I paint my nails every two or three days but I just use vaseline on them. You can find good cuticle oil just about anywhere. Cnd makes a good one. Its called solar oil. Oh and I try to avoid my cuticle area when I polish. Hope this helps!

Dave: the first day out of the box I cut 200 lf of champion metal roofing. oiled lightly when I put the tool away. next day cut 60 lf. works just great. I let the tool do the work and not force anything. I always oil my tools. as for how long the bit lasts I have yet to ware it out. I think it is a good idea to have a spare on hand just in case when your on a job.

I oiled mine right from the box and take it slow. I've not had any problems, but it could also depend on the type of hair you have.

I had that problem too. Try spraying them with Pam. Eventually, they sort of get greasy and it gets easier. They're not as slick as you are led to believe.

I de-oiled a 14 year old ball at 135*. It took 8 hours before it stopped sweating oil. Finger grips were not affected. Also had 2 pieces of white tape in the thumb that were still usable.

I have Moroccanoil and regret buying it because it is crap. It's almost entirely silicone. Dousing your hair with silicone will look good in the short term but can damage your hair and scalp in the long term, something I've already done by foolishly purchasing and using loads of silicone laden products and am now in the process of trying to fix. There's only a small bit of oil in Moroccanoil which is absurd considering what they charge for it. Contrary to Ulta's faulty ingredient listing there is no silicone in Diamond Oil and that makes it MUCH better.

I've had the same problem! I don't think it would make any difference if you treated it any less rough. I think it comes from the continual heat that makes the plastic brittle. I have had them fall off just laying in my cabinet. I bought another one and the heat on it is not enough for my hair so I am not pleased with it at all. I have long hair and the ends get curled but the rest of my hair stays straight. I liked my first one at first but after the teeth fell off It got to where I could not use it. Sorry, wish I could have been more positive and encouraging.

I put about two droppers in my color mixture, demi permanent and permanent. When the cuticle opens during processing (in the case of permanent color) the oil penetrates inside the hair shaft, when normally it would only stay on the outside. My hair is always really shiny and in great condition after I color. I think it's because of the oil. I've done this for many years. Just be sure you're constantly stirring or shaking the mixture to ensure it's blended.

I had a fingernail issue as well. I was td by a nutritionist that this would do the job. They said it has to be in your system for 90 days to take effect....... I personally didn't not a difference. & I had a great diet . SORRY

You will get the exact same result as in the salon. It took me a few time to get the technique down now I'm good. Don't use a lot of polish and don't put it to close to the cuticle. To save money I use the base and top coat that comes with it and I buy my gel polish when it's on sale at Walgreens the brand Sensational and Kiss are just as good as all the other and I prefer to use them. I am 100% happy with it.

Melissa sorry it has taken me awhile to respond to your question but I have been away from a computer from a while. about the oil, I didn't like the oil. it was very heavy and messy on my hair and I stopped after two uses. I prefer the liquid gold hair growth crème that is much better and results are from after a few weeks use.

I always leave my thumbs last so I can use each thumb to clean up my fingers as I go. Once the polish layer cures (dries with the light)your stuck with it so if it runs into your cuticles or other areas you dont want it, it will give ur nails a weird shape and probably cause the polish to peel and lift a few days later. The top coat is very runny and a wooden stick takes longer to clean up so I recommended using your thumbs. I give 1 minute to cure base coat. 2 minutes for each gel polish coat and 2 minutes for too coat. Ive only used Gelish brand polish but only because my beauty store doesn't carry gel OPI.

It is an oil, and oil is greasy. This is not heavily greasy though. I'm sure if you only used a little and mixed with an agent like witch hazel or alcohol it wouldn't cause too many pproblems. You should know that skin can take 2 weeks to adjust to new treatment, so u should give it time

There is a product that sprays oil on pills that are hard to swallow. All it is is cooking oil with a flavoring (cherry). I use the spray bottle and just fill it with a light oil and it works great and saves the cost. Just dab a little cooking oil on pill and that should do the trick without the spray bottle. PS. Oil also dries finger nail polish faster, too.

If the product you are using has sun block in it - that is exactly what happened to me. I have used Oil of Olay for 30 years - when they started adding sun block I couldn't wear it anymore. One day I found a bottle of the ORIGINAL - no added block and it's just fine. No problems. I would tell the company to refund your money.

I didn't have any problem with this product. I used all its setting, works fine for me and makes my hair shiny. I will suggest to use heat protector mousse or spray before on your hair if you want to protect your hair from any heating products.

Hmmm, I have never had that happen. There is no coating or protective layer on blades that I know of, and I have been using these blades for almost 20 yrs. Is the dogs hair extremely dirty/oily?, thats all I can think of.
