Believe it or not, the way you file your nails can make a big difference in how strong and healthy they stay.
β¨ File in one direction.
Sawing the file back and forth can create tiny tears along the nail edge, making nails more likely to split or peel.
β¨ Use a fine-grit file.
A gentler file smooths the edges without causing unnecessary damage.
β¨ Don't over-file the sides.
Removing too much from the sidewalls can weaken the nail and increase the chance of breakage.
β¨ Finish by sealing the edge.
A few light strokes help smooth rough edges and keep your manicure looking cleaner for longer.
Healthy nails start with good habits, and proper filing is one of the easiest ways to prevent breakage. π€
