{"title":"Curved, thick or ingrown toenails","description":"\u003cp\u003eProper toenail care is a very important part of good foot health.  But, sometimes it’s made difficult because of toenails that are very thick, curved or ingrown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThick toenails can be a challenge because common toenail clippers often don't have a wide enough jaw opening to accommodate them. Choosing a \u003cstrong\u003eWide Jaw Toenail Clipper\u003c\/strong\u003e can be an inexpensive fix.  However, sometimes a clipper simply doesn’t have the power to cut cleanly through thick toenails.  In that case, we recommend using a heavy-duty toenail clipper like our \u003cstrong\u003eEvolution Toenail Clipper\u003c\/strong\u003e, or a \u003cstrong\u003eToenail Nipper\u003c\/strong\u003e.  Both provide more cutting power to get through thick toenails and leave a smooth edge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurved toenails are generally more common on the big toes.  For toenails with a mild curve, we recommend using \u003cstrong\u003eToenail Scissors\u003c\/strong\u003e or a \u003cstrong\u003eToenail Nipper\u003c\/strong\u003e.  These tools have pointed tips to get under the toenail and their design allows for smaller cuts.  A very pronounced curve can make it nearly impossible to cut toenails with a clipper or even with scissors or a nipper.  In cases like this, a coarse \u003cstrong\u003eCushioned Nail Board\u003c\/strong\u003e can quickly and safely reduce toenail length.  Choose a double-sided board (100\/180 grits) to shape and a finer grit Cushioned Board (280\/320 grits), \u003cstrong\u003eSapphire File\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eEmery Board\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eGlass Nail File\u003c\/strong\u003e to smooth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIngrown toenails can be extremely painful and they are prone to recurrence.  To help prevent ingrowns, toenails should be cut straight across and even with the tips of the toes.  A \u003cstrong\u003eStraight Cut Toenail Clipper\u003c\/strong\u003e can make this job easier because the design does not allow users to follow the curve of the toenail and cut into the corners.  If a portion of the toenail is already pressing into the flesh at the corners of the toe, some of the pain and pressure can be relieved by filing the offending, sharp edge.  An \u003cstrong\u003eIngrown Toenail File\u003c\/strong\u003e can lift the edge and file it smooth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0335\/8887\/1301\/collections\/banner-beauty-tools_curved-thick-or-ingrown-toenails.jpg?v=1589285780","url":"https:\/\/belcambeauty.com\/es\/collections\/curved-thick-or-ingrown-toenails.oembed","provider":"Belcam Beauty","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
