Expert Reveals Hidden Dangers of Over-Filing Nails: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Manicure

In a recent online video, a nail care expert from Nail Mart USA shed light on a critical issue often overlooked in nail maintenance: the detrimental effects of over-filing the lower parallels of the nail. The expert highlighted how aggressive filing in this area can lead to significant nail damage, including peeling, hangnails, and a worsening condition known as onycholysis. The video featured a case study of a friend whose nails experienced severe damage after a salon visit where her lower parallels were reportedly filed despite her request for them not to be. Before-and-after visuals clearly illustrated the integrity of the nails prior to the appointment versus their compromised state afterward, showing the loss of the natural lower parallel structure. According to the expert, "Over-filing lifts surface nail cells, which causes the nail to start peeling and have hangnails forming right below the unstable points of growth." This can lead to discomfort and irritation. While the friend's nails are showing signs of recovery, the expert emphasized that such damage is entirely avoidable. The advice to viewers is clear: when getting nails done professionally or filing at home, it is crucial to ensure that the lower parallels are not filed. This simple precaution can prevent long-term damage and maintain healthier, stronger nails.
