STOP Cutting Your Fingernails WRONG! | How To Correctly Cut Nails In Good Shape

About this video

Centeno teaches the proper technique for trimming fingernails, covering tool selection, preparation, cutting methods, and finishing. He explains why common clippers are suboptimal and recommends alternatives like plier-style clippers, scissors, and quality files to achieve better-looking nails and avoid damage.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that standard compound lever clippers crush rather than cut nails because they dull quickly, and recommends seeking high carbon stainless steel clippers from specialty stores or considering plier-style clippers or nail scissors for better precision
• Centeno advises cleaning nails with antibacterial soap before trimming and keeping them firm rather than soaking them, as soft nails are more prone to tearing
• Centeno recommends filing nails in one direction only to prevent cracks, and suggests not cutting too close to the nail bed; he presents two cutting techniques and advises experimenting to find which works best
• Centeno notes that toenails require more robust, separate tools for hygiene reasons, as feet are more susceptible to bacterial and fungal problems
