1. Nail Health Reflects Overall Health
Your nails can reveal a lot about your overall health. Conditions like anemia, thyroid issues, and heart disease can sometimes be detected through changes in your nails' color, texture, and strength. If you're getting a new gel polish or going to a salon, it's always worth checking your natural nails.
2. Nails Grow Faster in Warm Climates
Nails tend to grow faster in warmer climates due to increased blood circulation and activity levels, which stimulate nail growth.
3. The Dominant Hand's Nails Grow Faster
If you're right-handed, the nails on your right hand will grow faster than those on your left hand (and vice versa for left-handed individuals). This is due to more frequent use and improved blood flow.
4. Proper Filing Technique Matters
When filing nails, it's important to go in one direction rather than a back-and-forth motion. This helps prevent splitting and peeling.
5. Cuticles Serve a Protective Function
Cuticles are often removed for aesthetic reasons, but they serve to protect your nails from infections. It’s better to push them back gently rather than cut them.
6. Nail Polish History
Nail polish dates back to ancient China, around 3000 BC. The formulas have evolved dramatically since then, but the concept of colored nails is far from new.
