People think that split nails are the result of a lack of a certain type of vitamins or minerals. Some even think that taking a geletin supplement will help. You might be surprised to learn that in many cases the cause of the splitting is simply exposure to water or other materials that dry out the nail like alcohol based hand sanitizers or many nail polish removers. Even dry or cold weather is a large factor in nail splitting.
All these factors serve to dry out effect the nail's natural protective state. So instead of loading up on the jello, here are some things you can do to help your nails.
- Try to reduce the amount of times you change finger nail polish color. This will reduce the use of harsh nail polish remover.
- Be gentler on your nails. Try to reduce their exposure to water for example (use gloves when doing dishes, gardening or using harsh cleaning products for example). Try to keep your hands out of the water on those long soaks in the bath tub.
- If your nails are in rough shape, keep your nails neatly trimmed to avoid snags and rips.
- Of course, we recommend using FlexiNail conditioner which was specifically developed to allow the conditioning complex to penetrate the nail's protective coating and get into the nail matrix where it can actually be effective.
