Cure Your Brittle Nails in 5 Painless Steps!!
  • If you have brittle nails, you must learn how to
    treat them and prevent them from getting worse,
    as they can break easily and expose your fingers
    and toes to infection. Besides looking messy,
    these nails are also prone to peeling and
    breaking.
  • WHAT CAUSES BRITTLE NAILS
  • Deficiency of Iron, Zinc, and Calcium.
  • Deficiency of Protein.
  • Dryness often causes dry brittle nails, as the
    dry nails grow hard and crack. The dryness of
    nails can be due to dry heat and lack of moisture
    in your nails.
  • Using beauty products containing harsh chemicals,
    like nail polish, also cause brittle nails. This
    is the reason why women are more likely to have
    brittle nails than men.

BRITTLE NAILS TREATMENT
  • 1. Protect your nails from the repetitive cycle
    of getting wet and drying
  • Your nails can absorb water up to about 20 to 25
    of their weight when they remain wet for a
    longer duration. They expand while soaking in
    water and then contract while they are drying.
    This repetitious cycle can weaken your nails
    forcing them to get brittle and peel.
  • The solution is that you wear rubber gloves when
    you are accomplishing household chores, like
    washing plates for longer hours.

2. Moisturize dry, hard, and brittle nails
  • If dryness is the offender, then use a
    moisturizer, even Vaseline, to your nails
    including the nail bed at the base of your nails.
  •  If your nails are super dry, then you need to
    use lotions called super moisturizers for nail
    care. There are excellent moisturizer lotions
    available on the need including Vitamin E,
    Avocado Oil, and Shea Butter.
  • On the other hand, if your nails are soft and
    brittle, use less amount of moisturizer, as it
    could be that you are probably using more of it.
  • Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated,
    including your nails.

3. Trim your nails properly
  • Trim and shape your nails correctly on regular
    basis.
  • Trim your nails directly after shower or bath, as
    at that moment they are soft and easy to cut.
  • Use a file carefully to give your nails a rounded
    shape.
  • Keep your nails even and short so that they are
    less possible to tear or peel.

    eat a well-balanced nutritious diet to provide
    your body with all the required vitamins for
    healthy and strong nails.

  • You can have a vitamin B complex including
    biotin. Biotin is also found in oatmeal, banana,
    peanuts, soy, and mushrooms.
  •  Your normal foods include enough biotin, but in
    certain cases such as people with alcoholism or
    those who consume excessive antibiotics for an
    extended period, biotin deficiency can occur.
  • Consuming fish oil can also help you in
    preventing brittle nails.
