What do you when your nails keep breaking?

Here are some tips to help prevent nails from breaking:

1. Keep nails trimmed short. Long nails are more likely to break than short nails. Aim to keep your nails about 1/16 inch long beyond the tip of your finger.

2. Use a nail strengthener. Nail strengtheners can help to improve the strength and flexibility of your nails. Look for a nail strengthener that contains ingredients like biotin, calcium, and/or keratin.

3. Avoid biting your nails. Biting your nails can damage them and make them more likely to break. If you find yourself biting your nails, try to find a healthier way to manage stress, such as exercise or meditation.

4. Wear gloves when doing housework. Harsh chemicals and cleaning products can damage your nails and make them more likely to break. Wear gloves to protect your nails when you are cleaning or doing other household chores.

5. Avoid using acetone nail polish remover. Acetone nail polish remover can be very drying to your nails and make them more likely to break. If you need to remove nail polish, use a non-acetone nail polish remover instead.

6. Eat a healthy diet. A healthy diet can help to improve the overall health of your nails, making them less likely to break. Make sure to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

7. See a doctor if your nails are breaking excessively. If your nails are breaking excessively, it may be a sign of an underlying medical condition. See a doctor to rule out any underlying causes.
