What causes hangnails?
You need never again
have a raw, ragged CutiCle
A UTHORITIES agree that

A UTHORITIES agree that
gnailS are caused
either by neglect or by wrong
methods of care. If neglect
ed. the cuticlc will grow fast
to the nail. As the nail
pushes forward. the cuticle
stretches until it can stretch
no more. Then it splits-and
you have hangnail. Or, if
you cut the cuticlc with knife
or scissors, you are likely to
pierce through to the nail
root and then you get the
same result.
To prevent hangnails,
therefore. YOU must constant
w dctach the cuticle from
the nail-but you must do
this without cutting or break
ing it or you will have hang
nails just as surely as if you
neglected it.
