Dangers Of Keeping Long Nails

Taking care of your nails is not just about appearance; it’s also about maintaining good health as there are dangers to keeping long nails.

Long nails can sometimes hide germs and make it harder to keep your hands clean, which can lead to various problems.

Risk of infections

The spaces under your nails can trap dirt and moisture, making it easier for infections to develop.

To reduce the risk, it’s important to keep your nails clean and dry, and avoid using your nails to pick or pry things.

Can be damaged

Long nails are more prone to breaking, splitting, and peeling. Everyday activities like typing, opening packages, or even brushing your teeth can cause long nails to crack or chip.

Hand hygiene 

Washing your hands thoroughly is harder because germs can hide under long nails, making it difficult to remove all the dirt and bacteria and making it a danger to your health.

Cannot perform daily task easily 

Long nails can interfere with everyday tasks, making them more difficult and time-consuming.

Possibility of having ingrown nail 

Ingrown nails require medical attention, which can be uncomfortable and inconvenient. To prevent ingrown nails, trim your nails straight across and avoid cutting them too short or rounding the edges.
