Nails look dirty when grown too long, period. That is because they are designed by mother nature that way, dead cells, hard, may be useful for scratching or digging.


In the evolutionary scale, they were a man's built in tools, foraging for food, etc.


Cut them up to a millimeter on the sides and 2 cms in the middle. Clean with a soapy solution or a quick 10 minute soak in water with a little soap or non phosphate detergent. Use a nail file to remove stains from everyday chores. Buff and polish with emery boards.


Clean nails separate a well groomed human from the rest of his phyla (chordata). LOL.I have long nails that i let grow naturally, how can i stop them getting dirty?
At night after your shower, use a gentle nail brush and swipe 'em clean.
I play Guitar, so my nails on the left hand are short. But... on the other hand (pun intended), my right hand nails are long. I keep a white coat of polish (not clear)on them, and a black on the thumb. In order to keep mine clean, i just clean them out with a paperclip, and wash under them with soap and water. Easy.
buy a nail brush and scrub them in between showers
Just make sure you wash your hands after doing stuff even if it doesn't look like it's going to be messy work. Keep an orange stick in your bag or pocket, as well as being used for tidying cuticles they make useful tools for scraping dirt out drom under fingernails. If you want, get a french manicure or do it youself. Apart from making your nails tips look whiter it'll hide the dirt.
Hand cream


This will help the dirt from sticking to your nails


apply often


Hope this helps!


Good Luck!
wash ur hand alot....keep sanitizer wipes wit you at all time.
u need to wash ur hands constantly! mine are short and i still feel them dirty.... i wash my hands very often.


when it comes to breaking them..well, use a nail polish that makes them stronger
Use gloves for 'diry' tasks, and other than that, the nails clean easily normally and can be cleaned up quickly with 'normal' hygiene of washing frequently as should be required anyhow after and before different tasks...
Clear polish underneath the nail? Weekly manicures? Washing hands well throughout the day?
dear yet them grow dirt, about, is clean them with wet cloth as much you can you can keep cloth with you (small)
Why grow nails so really long? It is unnatural and look dirty. Easy to keep them clean and hygienic when clipped every couple of weeks or atleast every month.
clean them every now or then
if you need to clean the quite often apply a nail hardener to prevent them from softening so much in water and simply use a nail brush
I have long natural nails too and what I do is with the nails on one of my hands I go under the nails on my other hand and scrape all the dirt out. Its just something you do when your watching TV, it doesnt hurt at all and I like the feel of my nails clean
always wash your hands and clean under your nails all the time thats what i do and it works :)
Scrape your nails across a bar of soap, the soap gets under the nails and stays there, and the dirt cant get in .lol. May sound funny but works a treat when youre gardening!
Where gloves whenever its possile like cleaning, gardening and such.
wash your hands
If you use a small brush to scrub your nails out every morning then that will keep then clean. Also if you forget maybe when you have the time then you can paint them and clean them often. This worked for my Grandmother who put fake nails on her nails. Thank You Kelsey Q.
