  intro: "Gel removal doesn't damage nails. Poor removal technique does. The difference matters because the response is different depending on which one you're dealing with. When removal is done correctly — soak, wait, lift with a wooden tool, never force — what's left is a plate that's a fraction thinner than it was before and slightly dehydrated from the acetone contact. That recovers in four to six weeks with oil and length. When removal is done incorrectly — nails peeled, product scraped off, acetone left on too long without wrapping — the upper plate layers lift and separate, the surface goes white and rough, and recovery takes longer. In both cases the path forward is the same: no gel for six weeks, oil twice daily, trim as the plate grows forward, and let the healthy nail push out from the base. The only variable is how long that takes. Below is the full library: what you're seeing on the plate immediately after removal, the recovery sequence week by week, how to read whether the plate is healing or getting worse, and how to time the return to gel.",

    h: "What the plate looks like after gel removal — and why",
    body: "Immediately after gel removal, the plate surface is typically duller, slightly rougher in texture, and thinner than before the application. This is partly from the mechanical process — filing the top coat, buffing the residue — and partly from acetone, which strips lipids from the keratin layer. The white, chalky appearance common after acetone removal is dehydration. It looks alarming. It is not permanent. The plate needs oil to restore the lipid layer and new growth to push out and replace the thinned surface. The recovery window is four to six weeks for most plates, longer after multiple gel cycles without rest.",
  },
  myths: [
    { m: "Peeling off gel is faster and less damaging than soaking.",
      t: "Peeling removes the top plate layers with the product. The white, torn surface left behind is lifted keratin. Soaking with a properly timed wrap is slower but leaves the plate intact." },
    { m: "You can go straight from gel removal to regular polish.",
      t: "The plate is dehydrated and mechanically weakened immediately after removal. Regular polish over that surface chips faster and applies unevenly. A rest period — even a week — makes a measurable difference." },
    { m: "The recovery period needs a nail hardener to work.",
      t: "Hardeners seal the plate surface but don't support the keratin recovery below. Oil, length, and time are what rebuild the plate. A hardener can be a useful cosmetic choice but isn't part of the structural repair." },
