Our fingernails serve an important purpose in life. They protect us from scratching an open wound, thus keeping it from getting infected. They can also serve as a clue to our past habits, particularly for those who are trying to quit smoking or gain weight.
What are lines in your Fingernails
Some people have lines on their fingernails, and scientists are trying to understand why. They hypothesize that these lines may be a sign of a high level of testosterone in your body. It’s also thought that these lines may be a sign of a poor diet or malnutrition. You can get rid of the lines by taking a vitamin B12 supplement. Women also have fingernails with lines in them, and it’s thought that they may be a sign of periodontal disease. Some people also have lines in their toenails, and this is thought to be a sign of hypertension.
What are the common causes of Nail Lines?
Often times people will notice very noticeable nail line/pitting on their fingernails. Most nail lines are the result of nail trauma from how you are handling your nails. It is important to remember that the nails of your fingers are connected by tiny veins that run down the middle of your nails. When you file your nails, or scratch them for too long, you are actually removing that protective covering. This damage can make your nails more sensitive and prone to pain. The nails are also very exposed to the environment, which makes them very prone to chipping and breakage. This damage often leads to nail line/pitting.
What Does This Mean?
When you first get your nails done, the line often looks like this:
The name of the line is generally explained by the technician as the edge of the capillaries. This is part of the body’s repair process, and the technician will often use a buffing and polishing tool on the edge of the capillaries. This is done to smooth out the line and make the nail more rounded and less prominent.
How do you treat Nail Lines?
Nail lines are pretty common when you’re growing your nails. Nail lines are a normal part of having fingernails. People generally have nail lines from natural sunlight and from the oil that’s in the skin. Nail lines also appear from time to time. Your hands are constantly touching things, so the oils from your hands will get onto your nails. Your nails also tend to become discolored as you get older.
Why do I have lines in my fingernails?
Lines in your fingernails are caused by the formation of keratin. This is the substance that makes up our fingernails and toenails. As the nail grows, keratin forms on the tip of the nail, which becomes visible as a line. This line is also known as the proximal matrix band, which is the first band of keratin on the nail. There are many reasons for this line, including dry hands, nail biting, chemicals, nail polish and nail disease.
