There is another trick to use.
That involves placing a tiny bit of sterile cotton, under the nail at the point you think will become ingrown. You just shove it gently under the nail, and do remove it and replace it when it gets wet.
This may keep the nail up off the nail bed enough to prevent ingrowing. Do it carefully.
If you search the net, you may find this suggestion as well.
Remember to keep it clean, and change it at least daily. You don't want infections etc to creep in.
