If you let your nails grow *too* long, they start curling around. If nails grow straight, why do they start curling?

Fingernails don’t really start curling, they were never straight to begin with. Look closely at your short nails, you wil probably see a slight curve.

Toenails can start curling more because your shoes push them down.
