All of the following are steps involved in the removal of fabric wraps EXCEPT?

  1. Gently buff with 240 grit buffer

  2. Re-hydrate nail after removal

  3. Soak in non-acetone polish remover

  4. Slide off softened material with wooden pusher

The correct answer is: Soak in non-acetone polish remover

The removal of fabric wraps from nails involves specific techniques to ensure the integrity of the natural nail while effectively getting rid of the wrap material. Soaking in non-acetone polish remover is not a recommended step because fabric wraps are typically made from materials that require more potent solvents for effective removal, such as acetone. Acetone is much more effective at breaking down the adhesive used in fabric wraps compared to non-acetone formulations, which are generally used for regular nail polish. The other steps listed, such as gently buffing with a 240 grit buffer, re-hydrating the nail after removal, and sliding off the softened material with a wooden pusher, are essential practices. Buffing helps remove any residual wrap material, re-hydration aids in maintaining nail health after the removal process, and using a wooden pusher assists in safely detaching the wrap without damaging the natural nail underneath. These steps are integral to providing a thorough and safe removal process for fabric wraps.
