Nail half split, will it still grow?

My nail recently got a little split in it.





Its like at the side but itw only a little cut into the nail, not all the way round.





I was wondering will it keep on growing were it has split and obviously were it hasnt? If i was to try and leave it alone and wait for it to grow out a little and then cut were the spilt is - will that work? Or will it not grow now because it is damaged?





And please no stupid comment like ';its only a nail'; - it matters to me and my other nails are long. So USEFUL answers only.








Thanks in advance.Nail half split, will it still grow?
Your nail will keep growing regularly, but the split will never repair itself. Each time the nail even slightly flexes, it will cause the split to become gradually bigger and bigger, until the part of the nail breaks off. If the split is in white part of your nail, I would just cut it off and spare yourself the pain of having it catch on something and rip off even shorter. If it is in the pink part, I would cut that nail very short, and keep cutting it until the split is out, so that the nail bed itself isn't damaged if the nail catches on something. Better to start the nail growing healthy than risk damage to your nail bed.Nail half split, will it still grow?
if it is split u want to cut the bit or it wont grow properly and wont grow fast either so just cut it it wont grow on the split it will but it takes ages to grow it my sister had the same problem but she left it like that so it had to be repaired for 5 years
Yes it will, when mine breaks I just put a little super glue on the spot and then it just grows out. I can't stand to cut them when it tears below the tip and it hurts.
Nails grow from out of your finger so yes it will grow out. Just wait as you said and cut the nail were the split is. But if your nails are doing that try getting more calcium in your system.
yeah, it will grow back. Don't worry. Just leave it and it will grow back slowly in about a couple of weeks. just be patient.
it will grow but cut it down as short as you can so it does not split down towards your finger. put hardner on it and keep it trimmed
