When the time comes to actually take out your braids, the same patience you exercised during the braiding process is vital; maybe even more so because, this time around, you're the one doing all the work and your hair is going to be more susceptible to breakage.
What Causes Ingrown Nails? Ingrown nails are most frequently caused by cutting your toenails too short or rounding the nail edges or by wearing ill-fitting shoes or tight hosiery that press the nail into your toe. You can also develop an ingrown nail after an injury, such as stubbing or jamming your toe. If the condition causing the ingrown toenail continues, overgrowth of the tissue over the nail can lead to permanent changes in the tissue that can cause infection, more pain, and more swelling.

The problem with ingrown toenails is that they are painful, which can lead people to ignore the problem for too long, and end up making it worse. Of course, misled at-home treatment attempts can also end in tears. I will never forget the time my dad took it upon himself to âtreat meâ using a Swiss Army knife.
