To use fingernail clippers, align the curved edge of the clipper with the natural curve of your nail and squeeze the clippers to cut through the nail.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Position the Clippers: Hold the fingernail clippers so that the curved cutting edge lines up with the curve of your fingernail. This ensures you are following the natural shape of your nail and minimizing the risk of ingrown nails.
-
Squeeze to Cut: Apply firm, even pressure to the clippers to make a clean cut through the nail. Avoid trying to cut the entire nail at once; instead, make small cuts across the nail.
-
Shape and Smooth: After clipping, you can use a nail file to smooth any rough edges and refine the shape of your nails. This prevents snags and keeps your nails looking neat.
By following these steps, you can effectively and safely use fingernail clippers to maintain healthy and well-groomed nails.
