While there isn't a universally defined "girl" way to cut nails, the general approach focuses on achieving a neat and polished look. The steps outlined in the reference are applicable to both men and women:
- Soften the nails: This can be achieved by soaking them in warm water for a few minutes.
- Gather the proper tools: This includes nail clippers, a nail file or emery board, and cuticle oil.
- Trim fingernails straight across: To avoid ingrown toenails, cut toenails straight across.
- Smooth uneven edges: Use a nail file to shape and smooth any rough edges left after trimming.
- Avoid cutting cuticles: The reference suggests leaving the cuticles alone.
These steps are a basic guide to trimming your nails, regardless of gender. Depending on your desired look, you can then shape your nails further using a nail file. For example, you can file them into a round, square, or oval shape.
