Curled Fingernails

It is said that eyes are the mirror of the soul, but hands and nails say a lot about us. If nail shape reveal our personality, nail texture tell us whether you suffer from any disease.Narrow and elongated nails are considered the most beautiful, giving away that such a woman is refined, idealistic, but who hide an uncertain and intuitive personality. Rounded and balanced nails show a person for which justice is the most important thing in the world.

However, it is impossible that all of us to have healthy nails. Some women suffer from different fingernail diseases, others are not satisfied with the shape of their nails, or they simply face a different fingernail problem: curled fingernails. Although we might say this is a medical problem, well, no, it is not. How do we recognize curled fingernails? They simply seem to be curling down without even that long. This problem may occur even though you take care of your nails and get your manicure done properly. Still, you don’t know what is causing them curl.

There are many causes for the problem of curled nails. One of the reasons may be the unhealthy diet. A balanced diet ensures your fingernails stay beautiful and healthy, so it is recommended to eat: eggs- contain all essential amino acids and provide a source of vitamins A, D and E, fruits – have an antioxidant effect (grapefruit contains vitamin E, strawberries/kiwi fruit and oranges contain vitamin C) and liver and tuna – contain iron and makes the system function better. Such a diet helps our immunity increase, defending our body from becoming the victim of infections.

Also, this problem can have genetic causes. It can happen that either your mother or your grandmother has the same problem, so there is not much you can do. You may try treatments based on olive oil and organic ingredients and see whether they have positive effect,; if not, then your problem maybe genetic.

Another cause can be the dehydration of the nails. As one of the natural enemies for the beauty of your fingernails is water, the best solution is to wear rubber gloves in order to protect them. When cleaning, scrubbing or washing, water dries and softens up the fingernails. It is vital to condition your nails proper after such a hard work: it won’t take more that a few minutes to put on a generous amount of hand cream. This regular treatment will turn your dry fingernails into more flexible and softer ones. Current water can make your nails dehydrate. This happens because there is chlorine in the water.

Nails need to be conditioned just like our hair. Even bath supplies such as shampoos, shower gels or spoon can make your nails curl. You must be aware of any substance that comes in contact with your hands and nails because they have bad consequences and affect the health of the nails. The more hands are washed with antibacterial soaps the more these chemical solutions determine your fingernails curl.
