What is a common misconception about nail care?

Using abrasive materials is harmful
Cutting nails in a curved shape is beneficial
Applying nail polish regularly is necessary
Regular soaking of nails is essential for health

The correct answer is: Regular soaking of nails is essential for health

Regular soaking of nails is often viewed as essential for maintaining nail health, but this is a common misconception. Over-soaking nails, especially in hot water, can lead to thinning of the nails and softening of the surrounding skin, which may increase the risk of damage and infection. While keeping nails clean and occasionally soaking them may be beneficial for hygiene, it is not necessary on a regular basis for nail health. Instead, proper trimming, moisturizing, and protecting the nails from trauma are more crucial for maintaining their integrity and appearance. The other options highlight valid concerns or practices, such as the harms of using abrasive materials, the importance of cutting nails appropriately, and the role of nail polish, but they do not represent the same level of misconception regarding nail care's essential practices.
