Are you referring to one of these points?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wrong angle when cutting toenails: This is the most common mistake. The curve of the scissors tempts you to cut toenails in a rounded shape as well. However, this almost always leads to painful ingrown toenails. Toenails must always be cut straight across (which scissors are often too weak for anyway \u2013 clippers or straight-edged pliers are better).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cutting dry fingernails: If you cut your fingernails when they are completely dry, they split extremely easily due to the pressure of the scissor blades. Professionals always cut their nails after showering or a quick hand soak, when they&#8217;re more pliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use scissors for cuticles: Nail scissors are too thick for the delicate cuticle. Cutting away the skin with them risks nasty infections in the nail bed. There are special, extremely thin cuticle scissors for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or are you referring to a completely different, ingenious life hack for how to hold scissors or what you can repurpose them for?
