Pedicure is one of those treatments that bring both aesthetic and health benefits. However, to achieve the best results, it is necessary to use the right tools. One of the key elements in a professional’s arsenal is the pedicure cap. But how to choose its grit and what to pay attention to when selecting?
Why does grit matter?
The grit of pedicure caps refers to the coarseness of the abrasive material they are made from. In practice, the higher the grit, the gentler the abrasion effect. Therefore, choosing the right grit depends on the condition of the client’s feet and the desired final result.
For people with delicate skin who need only slight smoothing, caps with a higher grit, such as 240 or more, are recommended. On the other hand, for those dealing with more calloused skin, it is worth opting for caps with a lower grit, such as 80 or 100. This allows for effective yet safe removal of dead skin.
Does the material matter?
A pedicure cap is not just a piece of abrasive material. Its effectiveness and durability largely depend on the quality of the materials used. The most commonly found caps are made of corundum or silicon carbide. Corundum is a more universal and gentler material, while silicon carbide provides greater abrasion aggressiveness, which is ideal for more demanding treatments.
What to pay attention to when selecting?
When choosing pedicure caps, it is worth paying attention to several key aspects:
1. Size – caps are available in various sizes, allowing them to be matched to different types of milling machines. Checking whether a given cap fits our milling machine avoids compatibility issues.
2. Hygiene – pedicure caps are usually disposable, ensuring a high standard of hygiene. Remember that using a cap more than once can lead to the transfer of bacteria and infections.
3. Manufacturer – choosing caps from a reputable brand can guarantee better quality and safety. It is worth paying attention to other users’ reviews and quality certificates.
