What is the correct way to cut nails

Speaking of nail clipping, it was first done when the teacher asked to check at school and I had no choice but to do it. Later, as I grew up, although I no longer had the habit of clipping all my nails, my nails kept growing longer day by day, so I had to trim them. Otherwise, if the long nails turned over, the pain would be really unbearable. After cutting nails for so many years, are you cutting nails the right way? Let’s talk about the correct way to cut your nails.

1. Nails are very fragile and can be cut after washing.

The nails will become soft after bathing. When trimming, use flat and oblique nail clippers to trim slowly from one side. Do not start from the middle and trim the entire nail at once. This will cause the nail to be under excessive pressure and easily break. Then use a file to gently round it from both sides to the middle, remove corns, and finally apply nourishing oil to the base of the nail.

2. It is best to cut the edge of the nail into a straight line or parabola

Studies have shown that different shapes of nails can cause residual stress in the growth of nails, which can cause changes in the shape or curvature of the nails over time, and even lead to serious nail diseases. Therefore, it is recommended that nail art fans should try to trim the edges of their nails into straight lines or parabolas.

3. Don’t forget to protect your nails if you want beautiful hands

The nail cuticle is a small layer of thin skin covering the nail near the white part of the nail. It protects the nail matrix at the end of the nail and prevents the invasion of germs and foreign objects. Some people, when doing manicures, will remove or push back the small cuticles on the nails during basic hand care to make the nail surface more slender and neat. However, doing so will destroy the protective function of the nail cuticle and make the nails brittle. It is recommended to retain this protective film during care.

The above tells you the correct way to cut your nails. After understanding it, compare it with your own way of cutting your nails to see if it is the same. In fact, some people are used to growing their nails, especially female friends, because many people choose to do manicures. Even so, nails are trimmed frequently, otherwise it will affect daily life if they continue to grow.
