Using a nail file can help you keep your nails in shape and healthy. Here are the steps and some precautions for using a nail file:
Steps:
First, choose the right nail file:
- Glass nail file: suitable for sensitive nails and long service life.
- Metal nail file: strong and durable, but may damage nails.
- Sandpaper nail file: suitable for most nail types, different coarseness can meet different needs.
Second, prepare nails:
- Clean nails: wash hands and dry nails thoroughly.
- Trim nails: If nails are too long, use nail clippers to trim to the appropriate length first.
- Correct way to file nails:
Start from the edge: start from one side of the nail and file gently towards the middle.
Single direction: always file nails in one direction, avoid filing back and forth to reduce delamination and breakage.
Adjust shape: adjust the nail shape according to personal preference, such as square, oval or round.
Third, refine the edge of the nail:
- Use a finer nail file: If necessary, you can use a finer nail file (such as a buffer file) to gently smooth the edge.
- Smooth surface: Make sure the edges of the nails are smooth and there are no sharp parts.
Fourth, precautions:
- Avoid over-filing: Do not file too much, especially on the sides of the nails, which will cause the nails to weaken or crack.
- Proper moisturizing: After filing the nails, apply hand cream or nail polish to keep the nails and skin moisturized.
- Clean the nail file regularly: Keep the nail file clean to avoid bacterial growth and cross infection.
