4. Don’t Buff or File the Ridges
Don’t buff or file the ridges. A lot of people tend to file their nails when they have ridges in an effort to get rid of them. But this is not advisable. The ridge in your nail has very little fingernail between the surface and the nail bed. Buffing can easily go through those ridges and the very thin layers that are present there that lead to a painful exposition of the nail bed. Plus, when you do this, there is a good chance of your nails cracking and breaking.
There are other solutions out there for treating the nail ridges or making them not as noticeable when you go out to a party or something. But you definitely want to avoid using an emery board to file them. It can make the whole situation a lot worse. The last item on this list is a ridge filler which is a much better solution.
