Cutting vs. Filing Nails: Which is Healthier?

Filing is generally healthier than cutting.

  • Cutting creates rough, uneven edges prone to ripping/breakage; cutting too short pressures the nail bed, causing pain or ingrown nails.
  • Filing produces a smooth, even edge less likely to break, prevents sharp edges, and allows precise shaping for a polished look.
