1. Nourish Your Body

2. Hydrate Your Nails

Dehydration can make your nails weak and brittle. Thus, it’s essential to keep your nails hydrated by moisturizing them regularly with a nourishing hand cream or cuticle oil. 💦

3. Take Care of Your Cuticles

Healthy cuticles lead to healthy nails. Don’t forget to regularly moisturize your cuticles as well, to prevent them from becoming dry and brittle. Trim your cuticles carefully and sparingly, as overdoing it can lead to infections. 💅🏼

4. Say NO to Harsh Chemicals

Harsh chemicals present in nail products can damage your nails. Avoid using acetone-based nail polish remover, as it can make your nails brittle and weak. Instead, opt for a non-acetone nail polish remover or nail polish remover pads. 🚫

5. File Your Nails in the Right Way

Filing your nails in the wrong way can lead to weak and brittle nails. Always file your nails in one direction, avoid using a back-and-forth motion. Use a fine-grit file and avoid using a metal file. 📄

6. Take a Break From Nail Extensions

Excessive use of nail extensions and polishes can suffocate your nails, leading to weak and brittle nails. Taking a break from nail extensions and polishes, every now and then, can help your nails breathe and grow naturally. ⏸️

People often use their nails to pick stuff or scratch an itch. This habit can damage your nails, making them weak and brittle. So, be gentle with your nails, use a tool to scratch, and avoid using your nails for any other purpose than their intended use. 🤚
