Causes and how to fix brittle nails

















How did it happen? Why do i have it?

Everything from aging to poor nutrition can make your nails dry, thin, and easy to break. There are also some treatments and medical conditions that can make them brittle. But you don't have to put up with the problem. The right care can make all the difference in keeping your nails healthy and strong. 

Care tips
                   Wear gloves:
An easy way to protect your nails from too much moisture or harsh chemicals is to put on gloves, when you wash dishes or clean the house. Choose rubber gloves that are lined with cotton, so that you will sweat less.
 
Avoid artificial nails: 
Acrylic nails, the kind of technician glue onto your natural nails, can do a lot of damage. A nail tech has to file the surface down to get it to stick, which makes them thin. Chemicals in the glue makes them weak. Avoid this beauty routine if you’re dealing with brittle nails. 

Coat with clear polish:
Certain polishes with nylon fibers in them may strengthen your nails and keep them from chipping or splitting. Try a once-a-week application, but avoid acetone-based removers to get it off, which can damage your nails.
