Fingernails are essential parts of the human body. Without them, humans wouldn&#8217;t have been able to accomplish many achievements throughout history, nor perform everyday tasks effectively. Nails enhance our ability to grip and feel both large and small objects, helping us eat, drink, clean ourselves, dress, write, operate tools and machines, and type on keyboards.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"594\" data-end=\"615\"><strong data-start=\"598\" data-end=\"615\">Healthy Nails<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"617\" data-end=\"742\">Doctors at Mayo Clinic describe healthy nails as &#8220;smooth, without pits or grooves, with a uniform color and free from spots.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"744\" data-end=\"1194\">The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) says:&#8221;Nail care is a simple yet essential self-care routine. While nail trimming may seem straightforward, there are important steps to follow to ensure healthy trimming. Well-maintained short nails not only look good but are also less likely to accumulate dirt and bacteria that can lead to infections. Moreover, proper trimming techniques help prevent common issues like hangnails and ingrown toenails.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15643\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15643\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15643 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ongles77-1024x542.jpg\" alt=\"Nail trimming guide\" width=\"1024\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ongles77-1024x542.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ongles77-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ongles77-768x406.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ongles77.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15643\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nail Growth and Composition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"1196\" data-end=\"1231\"><strong data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1231\">Nail Growth and Composition<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1344\">Understanding how to properly care for your nails is a medically relevant topic. Here are 8 key points to know:<\/p>\n<ol data-start=\"1346\" data-end=\"4594\">\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1346\" data-end=\"1763\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1349\" data-end=\"1763\"><strong data-start=\"1349\" data-end=\"1365\">Growth Rate:<\/strong> Fingernails and toenails grow continuously, necessitating regular trimming. In healthy adults, fingernails grow about 3.5 mm per month, while toenails grow about 1.5 mm. Men\u2019s nails typically grow faster than women\u2019s\u2014except during pregnancy, when women\u2019s nails may grow more quickly. Nails grow faster in summer than in winter, and the dominant hand&#8217;s nails grow faster than the non-dominant hand.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"2343\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1768\" data-end=\"2113\"><strong data-start=\"1768\" data-end=\"1782\">Structure:<\/strong> Nails are made of three layers of dead fibrous protein tissue called keratin. Water makes up 7\u201312% of nail composition. When nails are dry, they become brittle and prone to cracking. That\u2019s why softening and moisturizing before trimming is crucial. Trimming wet nails makes the cut smoother, safer, and reduces vertical splitting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2118\" data-end=\"2343\">The AAD says: &#8220;The best time to trim your nails is after bathing. If that\u2019s not possible, soak them in warm water for a few minutes.&#8221; For thick toenails, soak in warm salted water (1 tsp of salt per \u00bd liter) for 5\u201310 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"2345\" data-end=\"2734\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2734\"><strong data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2366\">Trimming Tips:<\/strong> Trim your nails straight across. Mayo Clinic suggests: &#8220;Trim straight, then slightly round the tips.&#8221; AAD adds: &#8220;To reduce risk of ingrown nails, trim toenails straight across. Avoid digging out painful ingrown toenails; consult a dermatologist.&#8221;<br data-start=\"2613\" data-end=\"2616\" \/>Use a nail file or emery board to slightly round corners. File gently in one direction to avoid weakening the nail.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"2736\" data-end=\"3039\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2739\" data-end=\"3039\"><strong data-start=\"2739\" data-end=\"2756\">Cuticle Care:<\/strong> The white half-moon part of the nail (lunula) and the cuticle area serve protective functions. Do not cut or tamper with them for cosmetic reasons, as they act as barriers against bacteria. AAD warns: &#8220;Cutting the cuticle makes it easier for bacteria to enter and cause infections.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"3041\" data-end=\"3357\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3044\" data-end=\"3357\"><strong data-start=\"3044\" data-end=\"3067\">Post-Trimming Care:<\/strong> Moisturize and dry nails well after washing to maintain flexibility and avoid bacterial or fungal growth. Mayo Clinic advises using cotton-lined rubber gloves for chores and applying moisturizer on nails and cuticles. A nail hardener or biotin supplement may help strengthen brittle nails.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"3359\" data-end=\"3816\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3362\" data-end=\"3816\"><strong data-start=\"3362\" data-end=\"3381\">Thick Toenails:<\/strong> Aging is the most common cause of thick toenails, though psoriasis, injuries, tight shoes, or fungal infections can also contribute. To trim thick nails, soak and dry your feet, then use <em data-start=\"3569\" data-end=\"3583\">nail nippers<\/em> (different from regular clippers) for better control. Cut in small, straight clips. Avoid shaping corners with the nipper. If pain or thickening persists, consult a doctor\u2014especially for those with diabetes or poor foot circulation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"3818\" data-end=\"4107\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3821\" data-end=\"4107\"><strong data-start=\"3821\" data-end=\"3835\">Tool Care:<\/strong> AAD recommends monthly disinfection of nail tools. Soak a cleaning brush in 70\u201390% isopropyl alcohol, scrub clippers\/nippers, rinse with hot water, and dry thoroughly. Never use nail tools as multipurpose items like opening cans, which can damage the tool and your nails.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"4109\" data-end=\"4594\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4112\" data-end=\"4303\"><strong data-start=\"4112\" data-end=\"4126\">Hangnails:<\/strong> According to Harvard Medical School, hangnails are torn bits of skin at the nail edge caused by dryness or irritation. Though small, they can be painful and prone to infection.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4112\" data-end=\"4303\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_15644\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15644\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15644 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ongles7.jpg\" alt=\"Nail Trimming and Its Importance for Health and Hygiene\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ongles7.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ongles7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ongles7-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ongles7-390x220.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15644\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fingernails and toenails grow continuously, necessitating regular trimming<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 data-start=\"4308\" data-end=\"4336\"><strong data-start=\"4308\" data-end=\"4336\">How to manage hangnails:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul data-start=\"4340\" data-end=\"4594\">\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"4340\" data-end=\"4391\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4342\" data-end=\"4391\">Soak fingers in warm, soapy water for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"4395\" data-end=\"4465\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4397\" data-end=\"4465\">Gently trim the hangnail with a sterilized nail scissor\u2014do not pull.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"4469\" data-end=\"4543\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4471\" data-end=\"4543\">Apply unscented moisturizer or a small amount of antibacterial ointment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"4547\" data-end=\"4594\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4549\" data-end=\"4594\">Cover with a bandage if bleeding or inflamed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watan-Nail trimming remains one of the routine practices people do throughout their lives, usually every week.
