If a nail split travels past the free edge, what should you do?

Explanation:
When a nail split travels past the free edge, the natural nail is compromised and more prone to infection. Applying extensions would seal over the split and trap moisture and bacteria, increasing the risk of infection and making lifting or damage worse when the extension is applied or removed. The safer approach is to refrain from applying extensions until the split has grown out or is properly repaired, while protecting the natural nail and keeping the area clean and dry.
