Dry nails, brittle nails, or nails just split and break at any opportunity are all nails that can benefit from a good quality nail strengthener. Women no longer need to be dismayed by their nails that took oh so long to grow snapping off or cracking; they can invest in a good quality nail strengthener instead.
There are actually a number of different reasons why you may have weak nails that need a nail strengthener. Some of the most common causes are:
- Age (an older a person becomes, the more dry and brittle his or her nails tend to be)
- Poor nutrition or a nutritional deficiency
- Use of detergents and cleaning agents (these products have chemicals in them which break down our nail’s keratin)
- Frequent use of nail polish and the use of nail polish remover
- Bacterial or fungal infections
- Nail bed injuries
- Excessive contact with water
- Disease (such as kidney or liver disease)
How can I make my nails stronger?
Finding the cause as to why you may have such brittle and breakable nails is the number one step to finding a cure. If you have nail fungus or a bacterial infection, visit your doctor and see how it may be cured. If it is a nutritional deficiency, see what you may need to begin including in your diet so that you may have stronger nails. Consider taking a multi vitamin and see if that helps! Speak to your doctor to see if he or she can help determine any underlying causes as to why your nails may be so weak.
Two of the key things that you can do to keep your nails strong are to protect them and to keep them moisturized. When ever you are around any sort of cleaning products, wear rubber gloves so that your nails do not come in contact with any sort of harsh detergents. Keep your nails well moisturized by using a deep penetrating hand lotion and rub cuticle oil into the cuticles of your nails.
Another way to make your nails stronger is to of course invest in a quality nail strengthener. A nail strengthener should not only moisturize your nails, but it should also make the nails harder and stronger. Once your nails are strong, they will then be able to grow to any length of your choosing.
You can find nail strengtheners in a number of different forms, from gels to creams to polish forms. Polish forms end to be the most popular as they can be used as a “base coat” to your regular nail polishes. Be sure to look for a nail strengthener that contains hydrolyzed collagen. This ingredient is important in preventing any sort of moisture loss as it creates a strong, protective barrier. If you have very weak nails, you can try a nail strengthener that contains nylon for best results.
TIP: When at all possible, avoid nail strengtheners that contain formaldehyde.
