Splitting nails is a problem that many people face. The causes of this phenomenon can vary – from nutrient deficiencies, mechanical injuries, to systemic diseases. At Easy Nails, we are well aware of how frustrating it can be to deal with this issue. That’s why we’ve prepared some proven tips to help you take care of your nail health. We invite you to read on!
Causes of nail splitting
Before we move on to solutions, it’s worth understanding the potential causes of nail splitting. Here are the most common ones:
– Nutrient deficiencies, especially protein, iron, B vitamins, and folic acid
– Mechanical injuries, such as nail biting, improper cutting or filing
– Systemic diseases, such as psoriasis, fungal infections, or diabetes
– Use of aggressive chemical agents, such as detergents or solvents
– Excessive exposure to water or frequent temperature changes
Nail care – our proven methods
At Easy Nails, we believe that proper nail care is key to maintaining their healthy appearance. Therefore, we recommend the following steps:
1. A balanced diet rich in protein, iron, B vitamins, and collagen. It’s worth incorporating more leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, fish, and eggs into your diet.
2. Regular use of nail-strengthening products, such as conditioners and oils. They contain valuable nutrients that strengthen the nail plate and prevent splitting.
3. Gentle cutting and filing of nails. Avoid aggressive movements and always use high-quality tools.
4. Wearing protective gloves during household chores to protect nails from chemicals and detergents.
5. Regular moisturizing of hands and nails with natural cosmetics. We recommend hand creams with shea butter and argan oil.
As you can see, proper nail care is not complicated, but it requires consistency and regularity. What do you think of our suggestions? Which ones do you use? Or maybe you have your own proven methods? Share them in the comments!
Professional treatments at Easy Nails
In our salon, we understand how troublesome nail splitting can be, which is why we offer a comprehensive approach that helps strengthen and regenerate them. The first step is to trim the nails to the healthy part of the plate, which eliminates weakened and split areas, preventing further damage. Next, we offer an innovative treatment with IBX conditioner. This is a regeneration system that works from within the nail plate, penetrating its structure and strengthening it from the inside. IBX is particularly effective for brittle, fragile nails, helping to rebuild their flexibility and durability.
Another suggestion is a hygienic manicure, during which a delicate milky-colored conditioner is applied to the nails. It not only gives a natural, aesthetic appearance but also acts as a protective shield, safeguarding the nails from mechanical damage and further splitting. This type of manicure helps maintain nails in good condition between salon visits.
If, despite our efforts, the problem of splitting and breaking nails does not subside or worsens, we always recommend consulting a podiatrist. A specialist can identify the causes of the problem, such as vitamin deficiencies, mechanical injuries, or infections, and propose appropriate treatment. A podiatrist may also suggest additional regenerative therapies or recommend changes in daily nail care, ensuring their lasting improvement. Collaboration with professionals is the key to healthy, strong nails.
