A deficiency in B vitamins, especially those related to healthy hair and nails, can cause them to become thinner and more brittle. Similarly, a protein deficiency can slow hair growth and weaken its structure.
The best strategy? Wear gloves when doing housework, avoid professional manicures, and opt for gentle treatments. This simple protective measure can prevent a lot of long-term damage and strengthen already strong nails .
It’s these little habits that make the difference.
