Weak, split nails. How can I stop this?

I have really weak, brittle nails. They break all the time, and split down the nail. It's really annoying as I used to be able to grow them really long and paint them beautifully, but now they are a complete mess :(


Can someone help me please?Weak, split nails. How can I stop this?
OPI has something called Nail Envy. It's a great strengthener, much better than the everyday stuff from an ordinary pharmacy.





if u try it, i'm sure ur nails will be more durable and healthy looking.





if this doesn't work ... go toward acrylic or gel nails at a good salon. it's a way around the entire situation (and a good salon won't ruin ur nails)

There could be a number of reasons why your nails have become weak.


Be careful with what you are doing with your nails, for example when your typing or opening lids etc. try and do it in a way that wont hurt your nails to keep them from splitting or cracking.


Your diet needs to include lots of protein and vitamin B in order to keep your nails strong from the inside out. One of my friends mother's has amazing nails and swears by eating a cube of jelly a day to keep her nails strong.(i dont know if this actually works or not!)


Your filing technique may actually be damaging your nails, never go back and forth in a see-saw manner, always just go one way in careful strokes and use a good quality nail file. (i really like the new glass ones!)


Moisturize!! specially with a vitamin B hand and nail moisturiser!


Make sure you dont wear nail polish all the time as it can weaken nails, let them have some days off to breathe.


and finally if none of this helps sally hanson miracle nailgrowth works really well!
Let your nails rest for a while. Refrain from using nail polish at least for 2 months. I believe there is an over a counter nail repair liquid you can buy on store.
Maybe start taking a woman's daily vitamin! They have nutrients in it that helps your hair and nails better!





Also put clear nail polish on it, look for the nail strengthener.





Good luck!
wear nail polish, if you dont want to make it too obvious then wear clear nail polish, it makes your nails stronger
It could be a calcium deficiency. Or perhaps some strong chemicals in your dish water. x
I would try soaking your nails in melted cheese.





I hope this helps.
drink milk cuz it will strenghten them.x
