Are your nails splitting, peeling, or struggling to grow stronger? Brittle nails are a common issue that many people face daily. While it might seem like just a cosmetic concern, it can be a sign that your nails need more care.

Here are the best tips to help protect, strengthen, and restore their natural health.

What causes a brittle nail?

  • Frequent handwashing and exposure to chemical products.

  • Constant use of nail cosmetics and acetone-based nail polish remover.

  • Nutrient deficiencies such as iron, biotin, or vitamin B12.

Tips to strengthen nails

1. Wear gloves for cleaning tasks

Frequent contact with hot water, detergents, or disinfectants can weaken your nails. Wear rubber gloves when washing dishes or cleaning.

2. File gently

Avoid using metal nail files or making rough, back-and-forth motions. Instead, use a cardboard or glass file and always file in one direction to prevent splitting or breakage.

3. Avoid acetone-based removers

Acetone dries out the nails. Choose a Nail polish remover that is acetone-free and enriched with moisturizing ingredients to clean your nails while keeping them healthy.

4. Moisturize your nails and cuticles daily

Apply natural oils such as almond, coconut, or jojoba oil. You can also use a Cuticle treatment that helps restore dry and irritated cuticles.

5. Avoid biting your nails

Biting your nails weakens their structure, leaves them more exposed to infections, and disrupts their natural growth. If you have this habit, consider using bitter-tasting nail polishes.

6. Use a good nail hardener

One of the most effective allies for brittle nails is a Nail hardener. This product creates a protective layer that reinforces the nail’s natural structure.

How to apply it?

  1. Shake the product well.

  2. Clean and dry your nails.

  3. Apply a thin layer of the hardener.

  4. Let it dry completely.

  5. Use it once or twice a week as a regular treatment.
