Nail sticking up for a while may be related to your malnutrition or lack of some trace elements. For example, iron deficiency anemia can not only cause fatigue, fatigue, dizziness, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, palpitations and so on. It will also make fingernails dull, fragile and easy to crack. In severe cases, the nails are flat and even the front end is spoon-shaped (nail prevention).

It is recommended to eat the following foods daily to supplement the nutrition of nails, such as eggs, milk, yogurt, tofu, spinach, pig liver, pig blood and other foods containing calcium, iron and protein, and take care of yourself. If necessary, you can add some multivitamins, so that your body will be fully nourished and your nails will not grow significantly.

Step 2 change bad habits

In the past, some people liked to bite their nails with their teeth and dig things with their nails, which may lead to damage to the front end of their nails. Later, the nails that grow out are prone to uneven edges, upturned, short and uneven areas. How to do this? First of all, we should get rid of these bad habits, protect our nails and avoid making them more and more ugly. Then we can use nourishing products such as almond oil or hand cream to care for our nails and let them gradually return to their original state.

Clinically, there are also some nail upturns caused by diseases, such as syphilis, onychomycosis infection and thyroid diseases. This may be the inducing factor, and diseases are usually accompanied by other physical discomfort symptoms. Patients can't change their nail symptoms by themselves, so they need to see a doctor in time. Symptomatic treatment is effective after the cause is diagnosed. Generally, the cause of nail upturning is cured, and the nail will slowly return to flatness.

Step 5 get used to it or get a manicure

If the nails are long and upturned from childhood, it is probably related to genetic factors. One or both of your parents may also have long and upturned nails. In this case, it is impossible to improve, and we can only adapt to this nail shape or make it beautiful through manicure. However, this nail is vulnerable to trauma every day. Pay attention to cutting nails frequently, don't stay too long, and avoid digging and pulling objects with your nails.
