Lately, when I look at my fingernails, I see long vertical lines.
Don't you ever wonder, "Am I lacking nutrition...?"

 

Even though I'm taking a break from my nails, the vertical lines on them are becoming more visible.
I looked into everything from the causes of vertical lines on nails to nail nutrients, nail strengtheners, and cuticle oil care.

 

Today, we will look at why vertical lines appear on fingernails.
I'll summarize how to best manage this at home.

 

 

Why do vertical lines appear on fingernails?

The vertical lines on the nails run from the cuticle at the root to the tip.
It refers to the bumpy lines that rise up in a vertical direction.

 

 

The most common Causes of vertical lines on fingernails You can see it as shown below.

 

▪️ Cases where nail moisture and protein decrease with age
▪️ If you wash your hands frequently or come into frequent contact with detergents
▪️ In cases of repeated gel nails, acetone, or nail removal
▪️ If you bite your nails or remove your cuticles excessively
▪️ In cases of irregular meals or insufficient nutrient intake

 

Especially since fingernails are not a part of the body where signs are immediately noticeable like facial skin,
If it dries out, the surface becomes bumpy and it is also prone to splitting!

 

 

Is the cause of vertical lines on fingernails due to a lack of nutrition?

When vertical lines appear on your fingernails, the first thing that comes to mind is nail nourishment.

 

Unconditionally I'm lacking nutrients! It is difficult to view it that way, but,
If your food intake has decreased or your protein intake is insufficient
When nutritional balance, such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins, is disrupted
Your nails may become thin and split easily.

 

 

So if you take nail strengtheners
Rather than the purpose of removing vertical lines from fingernails
It is best to approach it as if you are supplementing your lacking nutrients!

 

✅ Make sure to get enough protein
✅ Drink plenty of water
✅ Make sure to include nuts, eggs, fish, and green vegetables.
✅ Take nail supplements as a supplement only when needed

 

I found that it is more important to look at basic eating habits together like this 😄

 

 

If you also have split nails, moisturizing care comes first.

It’s not just vertical lines on the fingernails
If the tips of your fingernails peel or split in layers
You can suspect dryness and external irritation first.

 

In such cases, rather than just taking nail supplements
It is important to moisturize the surface of the nails and the area around the cuticles every day.

 

1. How to use cuticle oil

Cuticle oil is a product applied to the nail roots and the skin around the nails.

 

 

The fingernail itself is already dead skin
It won't turn your nails like new immediately just by applying it, but
If you keep the area around your nails from drying out
New nails may feel less brittle.

 

It's really simple to use!

 

1️⃣ Apply cuticle oil to the cuticle line before bed
2️⃣ Gently massage the skin next to the fingernails
3️⃣ Apply hand cream one more time on top to create a moisturizing barrier.

 

If you wash your hands frequently, it's a good idea to reapply it once in a while during the day as well 😉

(I bought it on Coupang! Haha)

 

 

2. When is the best time to use nail strengthener?

Nail strengtheners When fingernails are thin and tear easily
It feels like it protects the surface. It is good to use as.

 

 

However, if you apply and remove nail strengthener too often
⚠️Actually drier because of the remover Because it can get dark
It is best to reduce the use of acetone when your nails are weak.

 

If it were me, I think I would handle vertical lines on my nails like this haha.

 

▪️ Usually Cuticle oil + hand cream moisturizing
▪️ During periods when your nails tear easily Nail strengthener use
▪️ Give gel nails a break
▪️ Wear gloves when washing dishes or cleaning
▪️ Do not cut your nails too short

 

 

These vertical lines on the fingernails need to be checked!

You don't need to worry too much about most vertical lines on your fingernails, but
If it looks like the image below, it's best not to just skip over it.

 

⚠️ Black vertical lines suddenly appeared ⚠️ Vertical lines gradually become darker or wider ⚠️ Color spreads to the skin around the nails ⚠️ Deep horizontal lines on the fingernails ⚠️ Pain, swelling, pus, and severe cracking together ⚠️ Nails become thicker or turn yellow

 

 

In such cases, rather than trying to solve the problem with simple nail strengtheners or cuticle oil
It is safer to have it checked at a dermatology clinic.
