My nails keep breaking/splitting?

um, my nails arent like really long or something. it's not too short though, and they are so soft that when i pinch something with the tips of my fingernails, they just break and split. sometimes the nails split like 2 layers, the outer surface just breaks. it's so irritating. please tell me why? um, please dont suggest to me things like using some nail protecting stuff you buy in the market. i wouldnt use them.. just, um, why is this happening? protein defficiency or what?!My nails keep breaking/splitting?
You may have a lack of keratin which is important for healthy hair and nails. It's likely that your diet is lacking in some substances or you have naturally low levels. I would recommend trying Blackmores Hair and Nail vitamins - will take a few weeks to see improvements. Also, treat the nail itself with Dr LeWinn's Revitanail treatment. If it doesn't improve after that, maybe check with your doctor for any deficiencies? Hope that helps :)My nails keep breaking/splitting?
It is more than likely your diet. More protein would help, and for whatever reason I find that chicken in particular helped me. I use to bit my nails a lot and took a while to get them in order without chipping every second and found that they grew fastest, strongest when I had a lot of chicken. If you are a vegetarian and don't eat meat try heavy nuts like cashews. Also woudl help to moisturize your hands, try vaseline hand %26amp; nail hand cream, if you use your hands a lot cleaning or doing dishes.
you should find a Cosmotologist or nail tech that sells a product called NailTek Hydration II. i have the same problem and use this - it works really well! because it is made for the professional trade, it is a bit more expensive, but it works better than anything i tried from a discount store. give it a shot if you can.
Well, I could be not drinking enough milk maybe? Or like, not a good balance of whatever you're eating.





But if you really want that to stop,


get some good nail polish remover and soak your finger tips in them every now and then. It'll help them to be stronger- that, and clear nail polish, if you don't want to paint your nails a different color.
i believe some people just have soft nails. i have incredibly soft nails. to the point where if i put polish on, when i shower it actually peels off! i always have to keep mine short because they'll break if i don't. if i want long nails, i invest in acrylics but i have to have them removed when i'm done because trying to take them off myself rips layers off!
There isnt really a reason unless you have had fake nails on a few times beacuase having them makes your nails thinner and weak. I know you said dont suggest anything but i do recommend sally henson strong nails is arounf 拢4.50 but is worth it, its like a clear pink but doesnt come out any colour. it drys quick and when its dry it doesnt shine and just look like your normal nail. In any store e.g superdrug, asda tesco etc.
I also recommend OPI Nail Envy. Even if you don't like a product you might need one while you work on the getting the diet and care changes to take effect. Plus, use of this clear cover will help the nails to grow strong. They have a sheer and a matte finish for choices. Reapply every couple days.





Keep nails filed, use cuticle cream or oil, moisturize hands after having them in water. Don't bite them!
I have the same problem. I eat Jello %26amp; use ';Bulletproof'; it's a clear coat of fiber threads that make your nails HARD as a ROCK, but it wears off just like nailpolish so be sure 2 reapply every few days or after washing dishes,ect...
Avon has this nail fortifant stuff that really works..you have to put it on twice a day for 5 days(i put it on for a month!)It's really good though...and its clear!(be sure to clean your nails first!)
you need to have a healthy diet, yes more protiens and veggies. believe it or not, your eating habits do affect your hair and nails :(
eww get a nail clipper or something
eat more milk and yogurt, it will br work
