Cuticle Pushing: One of the main uses of a nail removal fork is to gently push back the cuticles around the nails. This helps to maintain clean and well-groomed nail beds. Pushing the cuticles also prevents them from growing onto the nail plate, which can lead to discomfort and nail irregularities.

Cleaning Under the Nail: The opposite end of the nail removal fork often features a pointed or angled tip. This tip can be used to clean dirt or debris from underneath the nails, promoting hygiene and preventing buildup that can lead to nail discoloration or infections.

Gel or Acrylic Nail Removal: For individuals who have artificial nails (such as gel or acrylic nails) that need to be removed, a nail removal fork can assist in gently lifting and loosening the edges of the artificial nails from the natural nail bed. This process helps to minimize damage to the natural nails.

Nail Maintenance: Regular use of a nail removal fork as part of a nail care routine helps to keep the nails looking neat and healthy. It contributes to overall nail hygiene by preventing bacterial growth around the nails and promoting circulation in the nail beds.

Professional and Home Use: Nail removal forks are used both by professional manicurists in salons and by individuals for personal grooming at home. They are available in various materials such as stainless steel or plastic, and in different sizes and shapes to suit different nail types and preferences.
