Almost every woman wants her hands to look beautiful and well-groomed. It largely depends on how the manicure is made. But in order to achieve a good result, it is necessary that the nails were initially strong. And even if by nature or because of constant stress, they are brittle, thinned and grow slowly, you can still change a lot and strengthen your nails.

Nail structure

To understand how to deal with such a problem, it is necessary to consider in more detail how the nails look. The plate itself is a solid cornified formation. Its base consists of the cuticle, which protects the nail from falling not only dust, but also dirt, as well as all sorts of bacteria.

After all, when they hit, nail inflammation may occur, and also the risk of fungal diseases increases, which is quite difficult to cope with.

The reasons

If you look at the nails of people, then in some they are just perfect, while others, on the contrary, are very thin and brittle. Most often, the state of the nail plate depends on genetics, but sometimes the person himself is to blame for such problems.

  • One of them is a bad diet. If there are few nutrients such as calcium and iodine in the body, or there is a lack of vitamins, they become very soft and brittle.
  • Another reason is incorrect care. You should not do a manicure with a metal file: it often leads to the fact that the nails become brittle. It is best to buy products made of glass for this. It is also necessary to properly file the nail plate. This should be done in one direction.

  • Frequent contact with chemicalsas well as the use of a nail polish remover with acetone can cause the plate to dry.
  • With bruises on the fingers small cracks may appear, which will further lead to delamination of the nail.
  • When using low-quality varnishes nails almost immediately become loose. In addition, they can also exfoliate from the usual hand cream. To determine this, you need to stop using it for a while.
  • If there is constant contact with waterthen the nails will simply break, as a result of this, carotene is gradually eliminated from the body.
  • After a long period of taking antibiotics microflora in the human body suffers, which also affects the state of the nail plate.
  • After smoking nails also weaken and turn yellow.
