No! All it does is give the nail the opportunity to split into the nail bed and become infected. The best way to avoid ingrown toenails is to cut the nail straight across at the top without allowing them to round over at the corners.

I've heard that, but have tried it and had no success. The best way to prevent ingrown nails is to cut the nail straight across and not down into the corners to round the nail off.

No. V-cuts don't do anything.
The best way to prevent ingrown nails aside from wearing less-restrictive footwear(im assuming youre talking about toes) is to cut the nail straight accross instead of a curve.

A friend of mine swears by it.

Sometimes, but it doesn't always work.
