How do I cut toenails correctly and which nail clippers are best for this?
What is the best way to cut thick and strong nails?
Strong Nails, especially toenails, require special care. We offer our nail clippers with Translation , with different Head shapes and lengths .
For people with large hands we recommend the longer version with 16 cm and 14 cm The head shapes differ in straight and curved shape.
The curved head allows for comfortable cutting along the natural nail shape . The straight head, on the other hand, is easier to use and is particularly suitable for the front of toenails, but also for trimming nails on the thumb or big toe. Both head shapes allow you to cut precisely and accurately without damaging the nail.

Nail clippers or head cutters?
What is the difference?
Head cutters are a subcategory of nail clippers and represent a special type of nail clipper. Unlike regular nail clippers, head cutters have a very fine , tapered blade . This allows you to reach the corners of your nail even better , allowing you to cut along the natural shape of the nail. A classic head cutter is the one with a flame-tipped shape, as shown below. The image shows the curved, tapered shape, which allows you to reach every corner of a nail ( especially thick and ingrown nails ).

Nail clippers or nail scissors
Nail scissors are particularly suitable for cutting thinner fingernails or toenails . We also offer a large selection of nail scissors in pointed, curved , or super-pointed styles for very fine work. For travel, we personally recommend the combination scissors , which can be used as both cuticle scissors and nail scissors.
