What is the primary purpose of using dehydrators in nail enhancements?

The primary purpose of using dehydrators in nail enhancements is to remove moisture and oils from the nail plate. This step is crucial because excess moisture and oil can interfere with the adhesion of nail products, such as acrylics, gels, or polish. By dehydrating the nail surface, the nail technician creates an optimal environment for better bonding of the enhancement products, leading to a more durable and long-lasting application. Effective adhesion is key to preventing lifting and ensuring that the enhancements remain intact for as long as possible. This process sets the foundation for the subsequent application of products, allowing for a smoother, even finish and enhanced overall appearance of the nails.
