Hey 👋 its Nail Boss Mondays & we're talking : Onychogryphosis / Ram’s Horn Nail 🐏
Let’s talk about a nail condition every nail tech needs to recognize—Onychogryphosis, also called Ram’s Horn Nail.
This happens when the nail becomes thick, hard, and curved, often due to:
✔️ Trauma or injury to the nail
✔️ Neglect or long-term improper care
✔️ Underlying health issues like poor circulation or fungal infections
🚫 What NOT to do:
Do NOT put acrylic or hard gel over this nail. Covering it up can:
❌ Trap bacteria and fungus
❌ Cause more pain and damage
❌ Delay proper treatment
✅ What TO do:
Refer your client to a podiatrist. Once they’re cleared, you can explore safe cosmetic options.
💡 Being a true Nail Boss means protecting your client’s health first, beauty second.
