Part 3: 4 Reasons Your Nails Are Splitting and Breaking
- Frequent Wet-to-Dry Cycles: Repeatedly soaking your hands in water (like washing dishes) causes nail beds to swell and contract, weakening keratin layers over time.
- Harsh Chemical Exposure: Acetone-based polish removers, household cleaning detergents, and hand sanitizers strip away the natural lipids that keep nails flexible.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Inadequate levels of iron, biotin (Vitamin B7), or protein can compromise your body’s ability to produce strong nail keratin.
- Thyroid Imbalances: An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) slows down metabolism and reduces moisture delivery to outer extremities, leading to brittle nails.
