Nails are hard, protective structures located at the tips of fingers and toes, made primarily of keratin, a strong protein also found in hair. They play an important role in protecting the fingertips, supporting fine motor skills, and enhancing our sense of touch. Healthy nails grow continuously, with fingernails typically growing faster than toenails. Proper nail care includes regular trimming, moisturizing, and protecting them from damage. Beyond their functional role, nails are also a key part of beauty and fashion, with manicures, nail art, and artificial nails offering a creative way for people to express their personal style.
