Nail Cutting Steps

There are some steps to cut nails,by following these steps you can have good and healthy nails.
  1. Have clean and dry nails. Cutting wet nails can make them jagged.
  2. DON'T cut nails straight across until they no longer extend over your finger or toe, so that they don't show any white. It will grow back much stronger than before
  3. Use a nail file to make sure the edges of the nail are smooth. Jagged nails can catch on clothes, socks, and pantyhose and potentially cause nails to tear or break.
  4. Nails should be slightly square or oval and not pointed. This will prevent them from breaking.
  5. Nails can weaken if you file too low into the corners and sides.
  6. File gently in one long stroke, from the side to the center of the nail.
  7. The ideal length that suits most hands is just over the fingertip.DO NOT CUT INTO THE QUICK.
  8. Don't bite your nails, it will create ingrown finger and toe nails.
