Prevent Nail Breakage With These DIY methods
Thin and brittle nails split easily but these tricks will prevent breakage!

Your nails reveal a lot about your health just like your skin. Our nails which are made up of keratin serve as protection of our fingers and toes. But what makes your nail break? There are two reasons – too much moisture and too little moisture!
It is quite simple to understand, too much moisture means soft nails and little moisture means dry or brittle nails. The main reason behind this ‘too much and too little’ moisture is the repetition of wetting and drying of nails.
Another reason behind your nail breakage can be the vitamin deficiency. Household chores can also end up breaking them.
Now let’s think about how we can protect our nails. We all know that eating well is the basic remedy to prevent nail breakage but apart from it, home remedies also come into play.
