Many people say nails are dead because the visible nail plate is made of keratin and does not contain living cells or nerves.
But here’s the interesting part…
The nail root and nail matrix are alive. They contain living cells that create new nail cells and help your nails grow.
That’s why you don’t feel pain when cutting your nails, but applying too much pressure near the nail root or matrix area can feel uncomfortable or even painful.
The part you see may not feel pain, but the foundation underneath is what keeps your nails strong đź’›
Healthy nail habits include:
• Keeping your nails and cuticles moisturized
• Avoiding aggressive filing or picking
• Protecting the nail area from unnecessary pressure or damage
• Using proper prep and removal techniques
Taking care of the parts you can’t see is just as important as caring for the nails you show
